The Powerquest That Never Was?
In a 1998 copyrighted PQ brochure is advertised the 320 Stalker, Available Summer '98. Picture looks like a 300 Raptor/280 Silencer with some air brushing.
Anyone know if the 320 Stalker was ever built? I've never found any for sale and left the Great Lakes region around the same time so stopped going to the boat shows.
Just Curious...from when times were good and PQ was replacing the line up with stepped hulls?

Notched transom but no step. Interesting. I don't believe I've ever seen one of these before.
Sunsation's first attempt at the Innovator hull, which later became their new twin-step 32 hull, was a huge single-step with a rounded (delta-conic) keel behind the step. It too had it's share of handling problems and never saw the light of day other than running at one of the rally's. I never got much detail on the first PQ 30 other than it was scrapped. Anyone know the story? In the end, the 300 turned out to be a good performer.

The owner of the above boat claimed around 70 with twin 6.2's spinning 26's.
Read on an old thread the 30 raptor was a single step with handling problems around top speed, did not feel "planted". You would think somebody would have build pics even if it didn't pan out, would be cool to see

All very interesting...
1998 had the 320 Stalker, 300 Raptor, 280 Silencer all single step hulls. No 290 Enticer.
1999 no 320 but 290 returned.
2001 300 Predator no step, 290 Enticer, 280 Silencer single step...
Just a few brochures kicking around...have surf through some old magazines to see what else.
