Opinions please!

Greetings everyone!
I've visited many times as a guest, finally bit the bullet and joined the fray. With Powerquest getting ready to open it's doors again soon, I'm entertaining a purchase of a 2005 320 LSC; twin Yanmar diesels, loaded with options.
I would be very interested in hearing other Powerquest owners opinion of this boat and quite frankly, the future of PowerQuest in general. Please respond!

Ed at Great Lakes had that boat for sale a while ago. It was an 05 I think and was kep on the same dock as I kept my Avenger, lift kept. There a super nice ride, I like them better than the Formula's

The new owner of PQ is a rigging guy and I have seen some of his work, clean would be an understatement. The stuff he puts out should be 1st rate. As for the future of PQ who knows, but I think ther guy at the helm is a good boat guy.

PQ is here for along time, unfortunately it took a VERY long to complete the deal/sale....to many bumps in the road

Correct! Actually, Ed is handling the sale again for the second owner who only put about 20hrs. on the boat since purchase. I've got to find the time to go check it out. Thanks for your input powerquest 380 & enticer!

Welcome to the PQ crowd. I have owned three and currentlly have a 38. All I can tell you is that ,up to the close, PQ factory support was outstanding. They always did their best to answer my questions . Sometimes they would pull a guy off the floor and give him the phone if thats what it took to help me out with something.
I don't know the new owners but from what I read here it sounds like we should see that level of support again.
Good luck on the 32

Thanks performance mary!
Powerquest's future is in the hands of the new owners, best of luck to them. From the input I've been getting, quality of construction on the previously built models seems to have been a high standard up til close. This was my main concern with the Powerquest of the past. I've owned enough boats to know it's the quality of the parts and how the manufacture puts 'um together that makes a great boat, Powerquest(s) seemed to have that quality.
Now, any 320 owners out there? Would appreciate any perspective from current or past owners on handling, structrual issues, pets and peeves,ect.

HMBB, Where are you located?? There's a 32 in my area that the gentelman just purchased last year. I don't know him personally but have a friend that does. If your close I can possibly put you in contact with him.

I'm on my 2nd and with luck will be working towards my 3rd. I have nothing but good things to say about PQ. The past employees of PQ were fantastic and I would think this will live on.

Just south of Chicago and a little north of Hammond, Ind. Fast Forward. Home port is in a private harbor off the CalSag channel. I would appreciate that information no matter where this gentlemen resides. The more knowledge the better eh?

Currently own a 05 320sc w/6.2s. Bought the boat in Spring lake Mich last year and my wife and I drove it home through the great lakes to the 1,000 Islands, about 1,000 miles by water. Very happy with the boat so far, nice combo of room, ride and still fun to drive. Old boat was a Chapparral 265ssi. Feel free with questions

Sound's like a great way to break in a new boat!
What's your opinion of the mid-cabin after a trip like that?
