E1550 = at least A$2600 (Plus freight, GST and customs duties will likely exceed A$3000)
That is almost 3 times the prices of a good quality carbon boom and close to the cost of a brand new brand name windsurfing board (which are also waaaay overpriced)
That is not to say that there are some very nice features of this boom. At a competitive price (less than half that) ir would be a very attractive alternative. Still, here will be some very wealth entusuasts that will stop up for it just as there are people who buy other rediculously priced toys. But it will be in very small numbers. That probably suits them though as the margin is enormous!
Now if they has the confidence in their design that it could see in large numbers at a competitive price, they would also probably do well and get a good return on their investment in a good time period. Who knows, but I doubt very much that this boom could ever provide just a small percentage in actual on the water performance (speed/Handing) improvement over a good existing carbon boom, so why would you pay 3 times the price???
