Considering Selling Our Nitro Hull Moulds

Considering selling our Nitro hull moulds

As some may have noticed, Nitro has evolved over the last few years and grown as a composites manufacturer. We now work across many industries, mainly motorsport which has taken over the business and allowed us to grow beyond what we ever thought possible when we began our journey with DJR Ltd.

I have recently been approached by someone asking whether we would consider selling our moulds which has opened up the conversation and we thought we would test the waters to see if anyone else would like to consider this opportunity whilst the thoughts are still very much in early stages.

My only criteria if this were to happen would be I would want to keep a mould for making my own hulls, for my own personal use only. All Worldwide commercial rights would be signed over to the new owner.

The hull is still, in my biased opinion, the best looking standup ever made and has not aged in terms of tech or rideability. Our layup and construction methods have all continued to evolve and improve over the years and all of this knowledge would be passed over to a new potential owner.

Our hull can be personalised for full flatwater super lightweight competition, or full surf setup with heavier layup, sponsons, surf fins, long rideplate and pole.

We have even made moulds for making a 'double backflip' capable bottom deck, rear deck stabilisers for beginners, pump tunnel adjustments etc etc…. There isn't a lot we can't do with it or show you how to do. Our hull is so versatile and really is a completely customisable platform and we have them out there doing all types of riding style and format.

There is too much to list of course, but to get the idea below:
  • Top deck mould
  • Bottom deck mould
  • Hood A side mould
  • Hood B side mould
  • Bulkhead/firewall mould
  • Rideplate mould
  • Foothold Bucket mould
  • Ninja foothold moulds
  • We have most of the CNC patterns too
  • Full CAD of the entire ski including moulds, patterns, engine alignment
  • All previous images, marketing materials, videos etc
  • Graphics designs
  • Our Instagram and Facebook pages (4500 relevant followers on Instagram)
  • Ability to offer full visual carbon hulls, hybrid layups (kevlar, glass), full epoxy infusions, polyester and vinylester infusions, GRP, gel coat finish, clear coat etc etc

Full composite training of the entire manufacturing process including vacuum resin infusion will be provided. I would ideally like to visit the new owner if we were to sell and build a hull with them from start to finish, and ongoing support will be free of charge as I want to see the quality and love continue with it’s potential new home.

All manufacturing equipment required such as vacuum pumps etc can also be provided.

All layup schedules, materials used etc

Material supplier lists and contacts.

No low ball offers as the hull is a huge part of our history and is of huge sentimental value, having said that, we are currently only producing them for personal use, which sadly I get very little time to ride at all and we do not have the workshop availability around our contract manufacturing obligations to produce on the scale they deserve.

We have not marketed our hulls for the past few years due to our business focus shifting to larger scale production yet we continue to get enquiries for hulls which we are currently turning away or offering longer lead times than we would like.

Shipment Worldwide would be no problem, we can load everything into a shipping container and arrange shipping.

how many total hulls were produced, (how many sold retail, and how many personally built), and what is the asking price for this? (i believe all ads here have to have a price listed). how
 
All information can be provided for a potential buyer who is serious, sadly not something I'm willing to disclose to the public.

Same goes for price, which I will happily discuss with anyone who seriously enquires, along with how much I have invested to create the hull, processes etc.

Hopefully the post isn't deleted for no price but as you can imagine its far more nuanced than a straight forward hull or ski purchase!

I get it, you're not selling molds, you're selling a business and education which you consider to be the most valuable part, anyone that can build a hull could want to just buy the molds and build, but that's not what you are selling. you are selling the education to someone with out experience as part of the package and you're sentimental value also has been added to your cost as you stated....
 
That's it in a nutshell.

The knowledge we can offer is invaluable, and something I want to share with someone that would potential pick up the torch with our hulls and see it thrive. The moulds come with the little black book of all the bits people don't tell you, or take years to work out yourself.

I am spread far too thin these days to be able to give it the time it deserves. I don't even get chance to build and ride my own skis!
