Wow Nice Q&A brikk! You ever work for a news company?
Thanks for sharing that great dd.

A: we see a huge potential market as more companies involved in offshore operations put ROVs on their vessels. we feel we are perfectly positioned to benefit from this trend and it also dovetails directly into the mako technologies acquisition.
so much good info in that post!

brikk, excellent work and thanks for sharing with the board.
I like the fact that these LARS can be put together so quickly - 10 to 30 days would seem to be very quick to me and for a customer in need where competitors are quoting 2 years, it should be a godsend. Also good to know that their capacity is good and can be ramped up if necessary.

Q: what is typical product lead time for the deep water LARS? how do you see this changing as more are built?

A: it's hard to say because each one is customized. lots of steel is used, cut and fabbed, other items are components that may require special ordering. but a single unit can be assembled in a 10 to 30 day time frame if all parts are available.


Also with that timeframe the potential to sell a "bunch" of these is good:

Q: how would you describe the market for the new LARS?

A: we see a huge potential market as more companies involved in offshore operations put ROVs on their vessels. we feel we are perfectly positioned to benefit from this trend and it also dovetails directly into the mako technologies acquisition.***

I think this is the clincher for me:

Q: generally speaking, what are margins like on the LARS, the proteus AHC winch, etc.?

A: state-of-the-art, leading edge equipment that can be delivered faster than the competition allow for higher margins. DPDW's objective is to provide products across the board that fit all those characteristics. we don't want to make commodity type products, only ones that are advantaged in terms of the technology they offer. this is how margins stay high and customers stay happy.

Thats a very nice Q/A brikk. DPDW definitely has more upside from these level than downside.

Just a matter of time until we see another large contract.

Brikk,

Thanks for the outstanding information.

Are you working for a business reporting firm?, if not, you have my recommendation :).

I love those two Q&A about LARS. The market for LARS is huge and the margin is high, excellent combination for the company future and ours, of course :).

Thanks Brikk for the Review!

This comes close to being as good as any press release given the conversation with the chairman of the board!

" I like the "No Comment" response...means we have a ton going on but need to save it for an official PR in the future!

Clearly like the three channels of business opportunities in 2008 given the Mako Technology acquisition!

Expecting to read a lot more PR's in the coming weeks, months and years ahead!

Lots of good DD on the board this weekend-thanks to all!

Cheers.

Great Q&A, Brikk. That is better than a PR. And with Boardmarks at an all time high, we have 467 investors reading your Q&A recap. That gives us 467 reasons that we'll move a lot higher this coming week. And I'm almost certain they'll dish out some more PRs to overwhelm us with. Should be a fun week!
