Video Transcript from the Press Release:
"Thank you! Two and a half years ago, just over two and a half years ago, a whole lot of people sat in a corner and said, boy, we ought to do something that's a little bit different. All this started from scratch, from a couple of drawings and a couple of little chats, and now you can see how this has developed. It's real, it's here, it runs, it's a rock star, and it's just a start. Right now, as you can see, you've got entire full plants full of people developing massive capital investment, four continents to make this happen. There aren't two on the line, there aren't four there, there are 14 at a given time, and that's just the 505. Next year, this time, you'll see its big sister, the 605. So, if you like what you see here, think about a lot larger and a lot more.
As Steve Moynihan would say, what's next? Well, what's next is right in front of you. Medium, large, and now we're bringing in more volume in easier-to-manage sizes if you want to call it in the 45 called the 455 and the 395. These are both Michael Peters designs, just like the 505 and 605. You'll see all the different little details here in a sportier package. We'll be seeing the release of the 455 in approximately Miami in 2026. The 395 will follow 6 or 7 months later. So within our next 18 months, you're going to see essentially three more new models, so if you like what you're seeing now, hold on for the next little bit of time because, as Tim Derrico would say, blink, it's Lauderdale next year. I'm Dave Jirikovic with HMY Yacht Sales, thank you." - Dave Jirikovic.
