You pick the order!
"That watch costs more than your car. I made $970,000 last year. How much you make? You see pal, that's who I am, and you're nothing. Nice guy? I don't give a ****. Good father? **** you! Go home and play with your kids. You wanna work here - close! You think this is abuse? You think this is abuse, you cocksucker? You can't take this, how can you take the abuse you get on a sit? You don't like it, leave."

11-04-2009 07:58 PMActually, it does. We used to play that scene (and others) every morning before boat shows. Gets you pumped up. When you combine pure passion and skill with anything you can be very successful.
You know how many people came into my office for "information" about a boat and walked out hundreds of thousands of dollars lighter? I stopped counting at 1000 a few years ago.......

Though I am no expert, it would appear to me as they spent this year proving their product. As mentioned earlier, who wants to gamble and lay down 900k on an unproven unknown boat. They have had the entire prformance boating community talking all summer about how nice a boat it is, how well the cockpit suspension works, how the boat handles, how fast it is ec. Aside from the slightly tarnished bling that was mentioned earlier, they have created a mindset amongst potential customers that the boat is a solid performer and a worthy purchase. Now they need to bust their butts and get a couple ready for miami with some pricetags.

Bill. I to like the Statement, the poker run circuit is getting the boat noticed but here are a few problems. Like you I have sold a lot of boats, I was one of the top Donzi dealers for 4 years in a row. It takes passion, desire and the personality to sell a boat, with a lot of knowledge of the boat you are selling.
The first big problem for a new boat out of the shoot 800K for a boat thats new to the market, unlike America europe looks at boats that race, if they are winners they buy them. Cigarette, Outerlimits, Fountain, Donzi have a big name overseas. Now Outerlimits has the GTX that has been a great seller for a V bottom sit down. Most guys that have 800K will buy a name brand V or if they want the speed a cat. Skater, MTI, Nor-Tech, Outerlimits. there are many other cats but I am just talking about the big $$$ cats.
The Statement as beautiful as she is has to be pushed, you need to get a few sold either you are going to sacrafice 1 or 2 for dealer cost to get them out there or take a trade that will leave a mark in the boating world. Taking people for rides is not going to get the boat sold.

STATEMENT! has definitely had the best in the business in their boat and the testimonials or "STATEMENTS!" are on the website. Thing is...what they were saying was even more incredible and detailed than what was written because they were so overwhelmed and talking to others. I was there for a good portion of them.
Yes, they were proving their product, but that didn't take long. Todd and Nick are very smart and good men, they have a plan and they are not afraid to take the time to do it right.
The tarnished bling...hhmmm...whoever said that was being snotty and looking for SOMETHING to say, because that boat is beautifully custom detailed - I am in awe of it every time I look at it.
I happen to know that there are serious plans for Miami - they have created quite the buzz in less than a year and it's not over yet!The world is 75% water - let's race it!
