I don't think they have sold 25 boats in 5 years..... If the family fortune story is true then why try to make any money in the boat business. Invest the money and buy a boat to enjoy......
How do you make a small fortune in the boat business?
The only time you cant buy is if you are the party that listed the items for auction or if you do not pass the pre-qualification requirements. Even then you could likely use a broker.
