Well, that is exactly what he has done.  He has dropped his price to his 
cost, and at the new $300.00 price they  ARE selling... but he isn't making 
any profit.  So "demand" has spoken and said that there isn't a market for a 
truly light weight pontoon craft... unless you make it with materials so 
cheap that  it might become a hazard to the user. 

Think about the task of turning an 8 ft full sized pontoon craft into an 7 lb 
package!  The first thing to go is the inner bladder and the frame.  This 
means the fabric has to hold air, hold the fisherman and be tough enough to 
take a beating, and still be light weight.  As it turned out, the only fabric 
to fit the bill was very expensive.

Maybe he should drop his price in order to sell some of them?
I have always believed that you call sell a lot more of an item if it is 
priced to sell even if your gross profit is less. In the long run you 
actually make more money but of course you have to work harder for it.  >>
