Plan of Distribution, page 7
2. We note that PCMS, an af filiate of GoPublicToda y.com , will provide con sulting
servic es to Z Yachts in th e future. W e also note that Public Securitie s, an af filiate
of Public Company Managem ent Corporation, will b e making a m arket in Z

3. We note your response to our prior comme nt 10. Reconcile your response that
GoPublicToday.com “did not prepare any part of the Registration Statem ent on

preparing your Form SB-2.

General
4. We note your response to our prior comment 18 and disagree with your
conclusion that the addition of an overvie w section would resu lt in repe tition of
material contained in your Descripti on of Business. Please note that the
Securities and Exchange Comm ission has provided interpretive guidance
regarding the requirem ents of Item 303 of Regulation S-B and the use of an
overview section in MD&A. In part icular, the C ommission has provided
extens ive gu idance on th e stru cture and content of the ove rview section in Section
III.A of the Decem ber 2003 Interp retive Re lease, available on our website at
http://www.sec.gov/rules/inte rp/33-8350.htm . In summary, the overview section
should highlight the m ost important ev ent(s) currently and on a going-forward
basis affecting the com pany’s operations and financial condition. The section is
not intended on highlighting how your business operates.

5. We note your response to prior comment 1. In your Chief Operating Officer’s
own words, the new m arkets are deem ed “key to Z Yachts expansion” in 2005
and he hopes “to see these areas genera te over 100 listings w ith roughly 10
million worth of invento ry under con tract.” Assu ming there is a reason able bas is
to Mr. Eck’s belief, Item 303( b)(iv) of Regulations S-B requires disclosure of any
known trends, events or uncertainties th at have had or that are reasonably
expected to have a m aterial im pact on th e net sales or revenues or incom e from
continuing operations.” Your overview section to MD&A should disclose that
manage ment hopes to see the added areas in the Tennessee R iver Valley, Mobile,
Alabam a, Pensacola F lorida, and Eas tern M ichigan to “generate ove r 100 listings
with roughly 10 m illion worth of inventory und er contract.”
6. We note your response our prior comm ent 22 and continue to believe that
additional disclosure, including quantificat ion of how your fee arrangem ents with
GoPublicToday.com has im pacted and will impact your ex isting capital resources,
should be added to your liquidity and cap ital resources subsection of MD&A.
Furtherm ore, based upon the provisions of your contract for services with
GoPublicToday.com , we continue to belie ve that GoPublicToday.com should be
identified as an expert, as defined in It em 509 of Regulation S-B. Part I of your
agreem ent clearly ind icates th at GoPub licToday.com was and is being paid for
preparing this Form SB-2 registra tion statem ent and other S EC filings.
Undertakings, page II-3
7. Please update this section to include t hose undertakings (applicable to your
company) that are now included in the re vised Item 512 of Regulation S-B. See
Item 512(g)(2) and Question and Answer 3 in the “Securities Offering Refor m
Transition Q uestions and Answers, ” available on our website at
http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/transitionfaq.htm .
Signatures, page II-4
8. The signature page should include the indi viduals signing in their capacity as (1)
the principal executive o fficer, (2) th e principal financial officer, and (3) the
principal accounting officer. For exam ple, to the exten t Mrs. Weller se rves as
both the principal financial officer and principal accounting of ficer, her title
should be revised to indicate that “C hief Financial Officer” includes both Mrs.
Weller’s cap acity as the princ ipal a ccounting of ficer and the princ ipal financial
officer.
