1997 Powerquest Legend
Re: Powerquest Factory

From what I'm to understand the employee's were layed off and were aware of the situation. A few have already been called back and are laying up a few hulls as of a couple weeks ago. Being the current job market is not the greatest and the pay was fairly good, one would think they would wait it out a bit. I'm sure once there back in full production things will get back to normal pretty fast as well as improve. As far as PQ quality? They hold there own with the best of them! Dollar for dollar a great value as well as product. They are no different than anyone else out there as far as trying to cut cost and options to keep the base price down. As goes with everything now days if you want all the extras there available, you just have to pay for them. I'm on my 2nd Powerquest and plan on a 3rd. We own a 97 Legend and most people that look at swear its new. Not a mark or stress crack to be found. That alone is pretty rare.

I'm sure one their back up and running we'll get the whole story as to the how and why.

Re: Powerquest Factory

That will be great if they can re-staff with their workers. Hope they are successful getting back up and running.

Re: Powerquest Factory

I've heard they are working on a few boats, but working on limited hours. The sale has yet to close from what I'm to understand, but should be soon.

Sent an e-mail to PQ yesterday and it was picked up but no response yet. However, I can't get any response to calls or voice mail.

I hope they’re successful in bringing themselves back to their glory days, no doubt they’re an asset to the marine industry.

Re: Powerquest Factory

powerquest is amazing.....they are one of the best performing boats out there. i own a 260 legend and i take it in the bay and it handles 3 foot waves like nothing at 40 mph....
one thing that i have noticed is that they haven't updated their site in like 2 years.... everytime i go there its aways saying that they are in the process of changing..

it would be horrible if the company can't rebound
