Here is my response to Mary Wells on the Open Forum:

Price Estimates are at this time: But may be less and if we get constant orders of H14's and whether we get them from Europe or Brazil.

1-3 Boats $5,780
4-8 Boats $5,345
9-15 Boats $5,159
16-24 Boats $4,972
25+ Boats $4,848

Europe is the place Doug of Hobie USA indicated I can get them. But I am looking into Brazil as I may be able to get them even for less due to the exchange rate, etc.

I was thinking having the boats shipped late Feb and here by May 2003.

We want to use as many as possible for our own youth program, the more the marrier. We are thinking 4 minimum 8 max for our program. We are going to add turbo kits to half the boats.

25 H14's per container is the max, but sounds like they will ship more. I am getting great interest in people ordering the H14's and am posting on the forum just to see who might be interested.

I am going to finalize the orders with Doug Skidmore and will get back with you. Plus I am trying to convince Doug to let me contact Hobie Brazil as I am sure I could get the boats much less through them. Doug indicated some issue of getting the boats from Brazil shipping and getting containers from them. I guess he feels it would be easier to get the H14's from Europe because they already have containers coming from Europe. But of course I will want to check out all the options to get the boats at the best price
possible. I think Hobie Brazil would welcome the business.

Hope this answers your questions.
