About the business
This Brisbane, Queensland manufacturing business makes a recreational boat product: a lightweight moulded boat plus a gear pod mounted on the roof. Once loaded, the boat acts as a rooftop cargo pod holding camping and boating gear, so no separate trailer or ute tray is needed and a normal family sedan or SUV will do. Marketing was by demonstration on weekend camping trips. It comes in two sizes, 2.5m and 3.0m, and wheels and extendable loading rails have been designed as accessories. The sale includes the full setup to make the product, with all equipment, tooling moulds and materials, enough materials for 40+ boats, and commissioning and testing by the owner. Full training is provided on all aspects of production, and loading, transport and installation is by arrangement. The broker reports that nothing like it is on the market, that the design is proven, and that market demand is strong. The broker reports a low impact operation with minimal noise.
