you have all the pump makers=still have the speed equip companies=maybe even the motor makers==ford/chevy/mopar=these companies probably dont have a clue to how many jet boats or blade runners are out there=you can never know what would happen or could happen=dream baby
Ok, here's a quick list of
possible advertisers I came up with off the top of my head; and I don't think 100% of these guys would spend money on a startup magazine

Is Anyone making hulls/boats under 21' anymore?
Places to go boating/campingMost of the places to do our thing have plenty of customers and would be hard pressed to spend any monies on ads
Now, if you figure that each of those companies I listed would have to take out full page ads @ $1000 per page (cheap!)
you would
almost cover your printing costs, now you need to mail them out to your subscribers, give a couple boxes of copies to your advertisers to sell @ thier shops, pay someone to do layup work, cover costs to go to events and cover shit, etc, etc, etc.
You're still going into the hole with every issue. There's just no money to be made in that business, not in an ever growing electronic world.
