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.
