Danalevi Powerboats Go Retro
And you could win a Danalevi, by helping this boat builder get off the ground.
If you’re into the retro look but you want a boat built with 21st century technology, Danalevi is a new builder you’ll want to check out. This company plans to launch five models from 18’ to 28’ and all of them will feature eye-grabbing styling—combined with modern construction techniques like vacuum infusion, and cutting-edge power options like Steyr hybrid diesel-electric engines or Mercury jet drives.
The look is retro, the construction will be cutting edge.
The most unique aspect of Danalevi, however, is the fact that you can personally play a role in growing this company. And at the same time, you could have a chance to win one of their boats. Danalevi is trying to raise funding to bring their prototype into being, and is using Peerbackers to make it happen. Peerbackers is a website that allows you to make project donations, for as little as $10. Those who contribute $500, however, will have a chance to win one of the first Danalevi boats for themselves; they’ll be automatically entered in a drawing, with a Danalevi as the prize.
