For the past three years, two friends and myself have been involved in
a top secret project to bring bass boats to the masses. The project has now passed Phase One and Two - Phase Two was particularly successful surpassing all our expectations. The two experimental hulls we built have now been tested on the water and performed flawlessly. The concept: Do it yourself. We provide the hull, deck and basic access ways to run wiring, cables, fuel lines, etc. The DIY'er does his/her own installation of engine, controls, equipment, seating, upholstery, etc customizing it to whatever the customer wants. We will supply equipment at a discount - basically cost plus 10% plus shipping. The hull is a 20' design with six inch planing pad - Euro styling with extended transom. The tub insert will come in a single or dual console. The test hulls were powered with 100 and 140 hp Suzukis' respectively. Curious bit of interesting data - the hull ran much better with the 100 than the 140. It was just a little quicker off the line, came up to plane faster and the top end pretty much matched the 140. We're going to change props on the 140 tomorrow and test again - we think that we're a little under propped on that engine as we couldn't get the rpm up to spec. Phase Three is the approval process for safety, flotation and other goodies. Phase Four will be marketing efforts and initial production. Assuming everything goes right, we should be in production in another year - 18 months top. Stay tuned. |

Hope the venture is most successful. -- John H |

Don't know if you've got a web site URL picked yet but my advice would be to get on it right away since it doesn't cost much to book a name. I tried to grab a few names tonight for a little venture that I've been thinking of and they were all taken in advance even though no sites are up on those domains. Yeah, we do site registry and holding cheap.. Of course you own it.. |

At the moment, we have a place holder with ten additional domains. Currently, we're running under my LLC as Shortwave Sportfishing which will also be involved in this. |
