Default Dealer restaurant combo

We've seen it elsewhere: cars and motorcycles: A restaurant that is built around a product. Great idea.
Cobalt goes up to about 35 feet but almost 11 ft beam. Most of the slips under the ballroom are narrow, for older, less beamy boats. Nonetheless,.a 35 ft Cobalt cocktail cruise boat would be a nice addition. Past small cruise operations didn't make it because they had single, or no supporting business. A cruise supported by a restaurant AND a dealership could be a great asset to the Weirs.
Remember Flying Yankee? Lazy Bones? Tir Na Nog? Aishling? etc?
Could there be a pay for play deal where a picnic cruise goes to an island (partially) owned by the LRCT?
I see some opportunities that have not been available when there was "retail overhead".

Actually, I assume anybody who is fronting several million dollars, has already developed plans that make $$$ sense, and they don't need us. Just the same, fun to speculate.
