Well, someone will probably elaborate, but think of it like this, a lip-ship cigarette is like a saleen mustang......its a cigarette...with a whole lot more custom features. Phil is a magician with a cigarette.

He has never had all of the boats he has available on his website. Usually only the ones that he actually owns go on the site, but sometimes they don't if he has other plans for the boat, or has a healthy amount of interest in one already.
He has such a loyal group of customers, that he can typically expect to sell the same boat multiple times down the line. One customer orders/buys it new, another see's it at the boat show, & plans to buy it used from him when it becomes available, and so on. If he's maintained the boat since new, he can almost always find a buyer for it without having to advertise the boat.
Keeping them off the internet can be better if possible, to limit the amount of exposure the boat gets through it's life cycle. People are always more interested in a boat they've never seen, as opposed to one that everyone has seen passed around the internet for months.
