Dear sirs:
We regrett to inform you that at this time, production rights are not for sale as we discuss matters regarding upgrades to the design with Sarzonia. If you wish to purchase the boat, we will gladly sell you them, but full specs, plans and production rights are currently fully classified and not for sale. That may change in the future, but that is how it stands at this point.
