                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  Although  these  statements have been reviewed by our independent  auditors,
  they  are  unaudited.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments  (which
  include  only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly  the
  financial  position, results of operations and cash flows at  September  30,
  1999 and for all periods presented have been made.

  Certain  information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
  statements   prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
  principles  have  been condensed or omitted for purposes of  filing  interim
  financial  statements with the Securities and Exchange  Commission.   It  is
  suggested  that these condensed financial statements be read in  conjunction
  with  the  financial statements and notes thereto included in the  Company's
  June  30, 1999 audited financial statements.  The results of operations  for
  the periods ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative  of  the
  operating results for the full year.

NOTE 2 - HURRICANE

  During  September 1999, the Company experienced flooding and  the  temporary
  closure  of  the production facility as a result of hurricanes "Dennis"  and
  "Floyd"  hitting Eastern North Carolina.  As a result of the hurricanes  the
  Company sustained damages to inventory and property plant and equipment  not
  including  the  damages sustained to the yacht mold  and  lost  revenue  and
  additional expenses from the business interruption.

  As  of  November 8, 1999 the insurance companies have agree to pay  $433,000
  for  damages  to  inventory  and  property, plant  and  equipment  less  the
  $100,000 deductible.  The Company has reclassified the following assets  and
  recorded in accounts receivable $333,000 for the insurance proceeds.

  Review  is  still  in  process by the insurance carrier  on  the  repair  or
  replacement  of  the  Company's  65'  foot  yacht  mold  and  certain   air-
  conditioning equipment that was flooded during the storm.

  The  Company  also experienced losses resulting  from  the  closure  of  the
  production  facility  and inefficiencies due to storm  preparation,  cleanup
  and the inability of the full work force to report once the plant re-opened.
  The  Company has filed its business interruption insurance claim,  which  is
  now in the review and approval process with Company's insurance carrier.  As
  of September  30, 1999, the amount to be received for the business
  interruption claim  cannot  be reasonably estimated and will be recorded  in
  the  future when collected.

NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

  As  of  September 30, 1999, accounts receivable were $1,809,634 net  of  the
  allowance for bad debts of $27,841.  This represents a increase of  $232,922
  from  the  $1,576,712 in net accounts receivable recorded at June 30,  1999.
  Of   the   $1,809,634  balance  at  September  30,  1999,   $1,275,300   has
  subsequently  been  collected  as of October 31,  1999,  and  the  remaining
  $534,334 is believed to be fully collectible.

NOTE 5 - REVENUE RECOGNITION

  The  Company generally sells boats only to authorize dealers and to the U.S.
  Government.   A sale is recorded when a boat is shipped to a  dealer  or  to
  the  Government,  legal  title  and all other incidents  of  ownership  have
  passed  from the Company to the dealer or to the Government, and an  account
  receivable  is  recorded or payment is received from the  dealer,  from  the
  Government,  or  from the dealer's third-party commercial lender.   This  is
  the method of sales recognition in use by most boat manufacturers.

  The  Company  has  developed  criteria for determining  whether  a  shipment
  should  be  recorded  as  a  sale or as a deferred  sale  (a  balance  sheet
  liability).   The criteria for recording a sale are that the boat  has  been
  completed and shipped to a dealer or to the Government, that title  and  all
  other  incidents  of  ownership  have  passed  to  the  dealer  or  to   the
  Government,  and  that  there  is no direct or indirect  commitment  to  the
  dealer  or  to  the Government to repurchase the boat or to pay  floor  plan
  interest for the dealer beyond the normal, published sales program terms.

  The  sales  incentives floor plan interest expense for each individual  boat
  sale  is  accrued  for  the maximum six month (180  days)  interest  payment
  period  in the same fiscal accounting period that the related boat  sale  is
  recorded.  The entire six months interest expense is accrued at the time  of
  the sale because the Company considers it a selling expense.  The amount  of
  interest  accrued is subsequently adjusted to reflect the actual  number  of
  days  of the remaining liability for floor plan interest for each individual
  boat remaining in the dealer's inventory and on floor plan.

  Presently,  the Company's normal sales program provides for the  payment  of
  floor  plan  interest on behalf of its dealers for a maximum of six  months.
  The  Company  believes that this program is currently competitive  with  the
  interest  payment programs offered by other boat manufactures, but may  from
  time  to time adopt and publish different programs as necessary in order  to
  meet competition.

  For  the  three  months ended September 30, 1999, the Company  adjusted  its
  allowance and qualifying accounts as follows:

                               ___________ ___________ ___________ ___________

  In  management's  opinion,  the  balances of the  allowance  and  qualifying
  accounts  are  adequate  to  provide for all reasonably  anticipated  future
  losses.

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

  Manufacturer  Repurchase  Agreements - The Company makes  available  through
  third-party finance companies floor plan financing for many of its  dealers.
  Sales  to  participating  dealers are approved  by  the  respective  finance
  companies.   If  a  participating dealer does not  satisfy  its  obligations
  under  the  floor  plan financing agreement in effect  with  its  commercial
  lender(s)  and  boats  are subsequently repossessed by the  lender(s),  then
  under  certain  circumstances the Company may be required to repurchase  the
  repossessed  boats  if  it  has  executed a repurchase  agreement  with  the
  lender(s).   At  September  30, 1999, the Company  had  a  total  contingent
  liability  to  repurchase  boats in the event  of  dealer  defaults  and  if
  repossessed   by   the   commercial  lenders  amounting   to   approximately
  $20,493,000.  The Company has reserved for the future losses it might  incur
  upon the repossession and repurchase of boats from commercial lenders.   The
  amount  of the allowance is based upon probable future events which  can  be
  reasonably  estimated.   At  September 30,  1999,  the  allowance  for  boat
  repurchases was $200,000.

  Dealer  Interest - The Company regularly pays a portion of dealers' interest
  charges  for  floor  plan  financing for up to six months.   These  interest
  charges amounted to approximately $210,460 for the first three months  ended
  September  30,  1999  and  are  included in  the  accompanying  consolidated
  statements  of  operations  as part of selling expense.   At  September  30,
  1999,  the  estimated unpaid dealer incentive interest included  in  accrued
  expenses amounted to $334,000.

  The  Company  paid  $127,097 and $102,080 for the three month  period  ended
  September  30, 1999 and 1998, for advertising and public relations  services

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES

  provided  $0  and  $0  for current income taxes and a benefit  $284,303  and
  $73,508 for deferred income taxes.

NOTE 11 - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

  The  computations  of  earnings (loss) per share and  diluted  earnings  per
  share  amounts  are  based upon the weighted average number  of  outstanding
  common  shares  during  the periods, plus, when their  effect  is  dilutive,
  additional  shares  assuming the exercise of certain vested  stock  options,
  reduced  by the number of shares which could be purchased from the  proceeds
  from  the  exercise  of  the  stock options assuming  they  were  exercised.
  Diluted  earnings per share for the three month period ended  September  30,
  1999  and  1998,  was  not presented as its effect  was  anti-dilutive.   At
  September  30, 1999 there were 551,000 unexercised stock options,  of  which
  546,000  were  held  by  officers and directors of  the  Company  at  prices
  ranging  from  $3.58  to  $5.00 per share, that were  not  included  in  the
  computation of earnings per share because there effect is anti-dilutive.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
and Financial Condition

Results of Operations.

     The  operating loss for the first quarter ended September  30,  1999  was
$(399,656)  or  $(.08) per share versus $(3,418) or $.00  per  share  for  the
corresponding period of the previous year.  The operating loss as a percent of
sales  for the three months ended September 30, 1999, was (3.7)% versus  (.0)%
for  the  three  months ended September 30, 1998. The net loss for  the  three
months  ended September 30, 1999,  was $(369,758) or $(.08) per  share.   This
compares to a net loss of $(197,995) or $(.04) per share for the three  months
ended September 30, 1998.

     Net sales were $10,795,168 for the three months ended September 30, 1999,
as  compared  to  $12,422,227 for the three months ended September  30,  1998.
Unit  sales volume for three months ended September 30, 1999 was 89  boats  as
compared  to  104  boats for the three months ended September  30,  1998.  The
overall  sales  decrease  was  due  to  the  business  interruption  from  the
hurricanes  "Dennis"  & "Floyd" that hit Eastern North Carolina  in  September
1999.

     For  the three months ended September 30, 1999, the gross margin on sales
was  $2,035,227  (19%) as compared to $2,583,315 (21%) for  the  three  months
ended September 30, 1998.  The decrease in gross margin was due primarily to a
lower  number of sportboat sales in relation to fishboat sales, in  particular
resulting from the volume drop in September as a result of the work loss  from
the Hurricane.

     Selling expenses were $1,713,380 for the three months ended September 30,
1999, as compared to $1,943,182 for the three months ended September 30, 1998.
Decreased selling expense was primarily due to a decrease in dealer floor plan
interest.

      General  and administrative expenses were $721,503 for the three  months

near  term settlement of its pending insurance claim, the Company's sales  and
production  volume  will continue to grow with a gradual  improvement  in  net
earnings and cash flow.  Most of the Company's cash resources will be used  to
maintain and improve its plant and equipment and for new product tooling.

Cautionary Statement for Purposes of "Safe Harbor" Under the
Private Securities Reform Act of 1995.

      The  Company  may  from  time  to time make forward-looking  statements,
including  statements  projecting, forecasting, or  estimating  the  Company's
performance   and  industry  trends.   The  achievement  of  the  projections,
forecasts,  or estimates contained in these statements is subject  to  certain
risks  and  uncertainties, and actual results and events may differ materially
from those projected, forecasted, or estimated.

      The  applicable  risks and uncertainties include  general  economic  and
industry  conditions that affect all businesses, as well as, matters that  are
specific  to  the  Company  and  the markets  it  serves.   For  example,  the
achievement of projections, forecasts, or estimates contained in the Company's
forward-looking  statements  may be impacted  by  national  and  international
economic  conditions;  compliance  with  governmental  laws  and  regulations;
accidents and acts of God; and all of the general risks associated with  doing
business.

      Risks  that are specific to the Company and its markets include but  are
not  limited to compliance with increasingly stringent environmental laws  and
regulations; the cyclical nature of the industry; competition in  pricing  and
new  product development from larger companies with substantial resources; the
concentration of a substantial percentage of the Company's sales  with  a  few
major  customers, the loss of, or change in demand from, any  of  which  could
have a material impact upon the Company; labor relations at the Company and at
its  customers and suppliers; and the Company's single-source supply and just-
in-time inventory strategies for some critical boat components, including high
performance  engines,  which could adversely affect production  if  a  single-
source supplier is unable for any reason to meet the Company's requirements on
a timely basis.
