    As the inventor of the new capabilities for Surface Skimming and Surfing hulls on waters, I can only find interest but no support for making the technology available to all mariners, by obtaining supportive investor to protect the technology from its expected copycats?
    Some general information is posted at SuperiorHulls.com without showing the invention or any of its intellectual properties, for protecting our sought investor and clients. I like to know, where can such support be obtained by employing the www internet?

    Unfortunately I'm having trouble updating to the latest version of Quicktime. If powerboat racing isn't a good vehicle for your product I'd suggest looking to the major players in the personal watercraft or fishing industries. Would this be applicable to shoal draft "flats" boats?

    I'm having trouble seeing any pictures of any sort on any of the pages in your site.
    Any thoughts? Or is this a security measure?

    Seeing images

    To see the images you need to have a reasonably new version of quicktime on your computer. Just click on his Quicktimelink on the webpage, no virus problems there...

    Using QT images on webpages is not very smart as it stops casual visitors that doesn't have the appropriate plug-in to view the site, and really needs to be changed.

    Erik - I have now D/L-ed the QT update (on dial-up) and installed and rebooted and STILL can't see them. <sigh>
    I've grabbed a couple of movies and watched those, so at least I can still see what he's on about ;-)
    Here's a pic of something I worked on with a friend for a long time - company now pretty much defunct through lack of funding. It's a tough world even if you CAN make boats fly.
    THe dink here is doing about 28 knots on 25hp, hull fully out of the water, and the stick-figure driving is not me, ;-)

    Ami:
    I assume you don't have a registered patent. This may mean it is not a "novel invention" in the definition of the Law, or that you haven't invested the money to do it. It is very difficult to find an investor unless you can prove your invention has patent protection. The registration of it should be your first step. Then you can disclose all the details to find interested parties.

    Market Ready technologies

    As I am learning to employ this forum's format, I'll reply to all in this note.

    As first to invent and first to register, I am also the first to not publish my invented apparatus, in order to protect my sought investor and the technologies, more advanced then what is posted on the www internet.

    It is significant that my tested 12 and 21 feet long boats, under 1000 lbs and over 2.5 tons both KEELS ARE ABOVE THE WATER SURFACE and no nose lifted which is bad for good riding boats.

    QuickTime for WIN98 is good to have, which is standard for the Macintosh machines I employ.

    Please write to my email options at the websites, for more direct replies to your concern or interest.
