In just 8 weeks (as of July 31, 2023) since committing to their next product variation, the company has secured over $2MM in sales (50% down upfront payment) for a specific line of boat that delivers incredible margins, which is supported by a longstanding proven track record in its specific space, and a offers a market demand that many would agree is well in excess of $50MM per year.

Timing is everything and we are in search of the right buyer who is experienced and capitalized to reap the rewards of what is waiting.
