Zapata and Gerszberg on the better deal lookout. After the airboard success on Facebook and the recent Monaco Boat Show sales of four units at $270,000 each for the RC turbine powered FB Air, they are full of themselves and think they can get a better deal. Seth just has to weigh his agreement with Frankie and the other deal with his partners at PP. He convinced Frankie to think bigger, they are united in shared motivation to get the absolute most for themselves of out of this exposure.
They are balancing the fact that the Fkyboard Air got 44 millions views and the World Cup got 1200 views in the same channel, (twelve hundred. mostly views by the participants themselves) they know that the water board market is in the tank world-wide and that there is no crossover or halo effect of the flying footstool.
The United States has been Zapata Racing's biggest market world-wide for the past four seasons, their distribution network has been the best in its class, yet has seen its numbers fall for the past two seasons. Total number (all seasons combined) of all products produced (not sold) combined just barely reached the 10,000 number and the prospects for increased sales look dim, even with the planned dramatic lowering of the price for 2017 and going direct by eliminating the dealer network.
