Challenger Receives $1.5 Million in Orders for Its High Performance and Family Performance Series Boats
WASHINGTON, Mo., July 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Challenger Powerboats, Inc. ('Challenger') (OTC Bulletin Board: CPWB) today announced that it has received orders for its offshore, high performance boats (DDC-33 and DDC-28) and its family performance series of open-bow boats (245 FPS, 250 FPS, 252 FPS and 302 FPS) totaling $1.5 million.
Challenger's performance series are made with the Duo Delta-Conic (DDC) hull, a patented revolutionary design by world-renowned marine designer Harry Schoell that combines two hulls in one. The unique design uses a wide lipped chine (the juncture of the bottom and either sides of a boat), and combines two hulls (bodies): the forward hull, which creates a bow wave, and the aft hull, which develops a constant planning surface. The result is enhanced stability, softer ride, higher speeds and better control. Challenger holds the exclusive rights to the DDC hull for boats up to 40 feet in length.
Attesting to Challenger's DDC series performance is professional offshore racers Team Gallagher, who took fourth place in the Hollywood Super Boat Grand Prix (Hollywood, FL) in February and first place at the St. Cloud, Florida divisional race this past April in their Challenger DDC-28.
'We continue to experience growing interest in all our boat lines as our distribution network broadens. Our sales management team is focused on establishing brand recognition and market exposure, while our operations management is focused on quality and efficiency,' said Challenger's president and CEO, Laurie Phillips, commenting on the recent sales. 'All our lines, from the Challenger performance series to our world-class Gekko tow boats and our Sugar Sand jet-powered boats offer compelling values in their classes and types.'
