Wall Street News Alert: Aggressive Stock Alert: CPBI! March 7, 2008

Market Wire, March, 2008

Wall Street News Alert's "stocks to watch" this morning are: Challenger Powerboats, Inc. (OTCBB: CPBI), KKR Financial Holdings LLC (NYSE: KFN), Gold Fields Limited (NYSE: GFI) and Amgen Inc. (NASDAQ: AMGN).

Having shipped a record 38 boats for the month of January, Challenger Powerboats, Inc. (OTCBB: CPBI) is at it again with another record month, and investors should be watching this stock closely. Yesterday after the markets closed, the company, a manufacturer of powerboats, tow boats and water-jet powered sport boats, issued a press release announcing that it has shipped a record 48 boats in the month of February 2008.

This more great news for CPBI investors! Challenger CEO Laurie Phillips stated, "Coming on the heels of our record January, we are more than thrilled to report another record month of boat shipments. Our final February count could have been even higher but not for some weather related issues as well as backordered parts in our supply chain. Those particular boats will now be shipped with our March orders."

She added, "It is encouraging to see growth in our jet boat and tow boat categories despite the macro economic environment. We believe that these two categories at the lower end of the market provide us with a solid hedge as recreational boaters are still seeking quality at fair pricing. The jet boat segment is one of the fastest growing sectors in the boating industry and we believe Sugar Sand is a best of breed product. The higher end of the market will be serviced by our new limited edition high performance Challenger-Pininfarina PF 36, where our targeted end user is indiscriminate with regard to pricing in exchange for luxury, power and style. The customer in this demographic may typically own or has owned a Ferrari or Maserati sports car of Pininfarina pedigree.

Last week the company also reported it received an initial 4 boat order and then a follow on 10 boat order from Shawano, WI-based American Marine and Watersports, one of the largest independent boat dealers in the U.S.

Challenger CEO Laurie Phillips stated, "Procuring 'tier one' dealers of American Marine's stature is important to our overall growth strategy given the potential degree of business which exists, upon our execution, delivery and performance to such high volume customers. We look forward to a long and rewarding relationship with them."

With recent news pointing to a significant increase in demand for the company's line of boats, investors are urged to continue to monitor Challenger Powerboats Inc.

The stock closed Thursday at Fifty cents a share.
