As far as the location Chain of Lakes, Lake Mi. LOTO. or even Clinton Lake 
Oh what the heck what about the third week in June? If we are all free we will just call PQ and tell them when and where we want to have it. This should have been planed by the first of the year, but we will just do it know.

sounds like fun but bad timing for us, any others that might work? Wally might still be able to make it but I'm, out for that one.

AAHHH Let me think about that 
You know it is always good to test a new lift and make sure it works properly, like for a couple of months I might just have to take you up on that.

Whats your thougts on holding something in the Holland area of Michigan?? They have the nice bay if the lake gets to nasty. On top of we'd be right by the plant. Last year I think we only had 22 Boats and I'm sure we can do better than that! I placed an e-mail to PQ today questioning if thay had anything planned. I'll let you guys know the response. I think if we help out a little more this time things may go a little smoooooooother.
By the way I'm making an offer on a boat in the morning subject to sea trial. If I get me way I'll have that baby in the water next weekend!!

I have a feeling my boat was one of the 22 that was there last year (with its previous owner, also in holland).
So you probably know the previous owner and boat.........

Re: 2005 Powerquest Rally??
I think Holland is an excellent idea. I can't believe PQ held 1st ever event in Michigan City last year. I would have liked to attend but I couldn't convince the wife to pack up the 3 & 1 year old kids.
Look around in Muskegon, Grand Haven & Holland (Michigan) and that's probably were at least half the boats they ever sold are located. I think a lot of PQ owners would attend if it did not involve having to tow boat somewhere. Sorry for the rest of you.
Maybe once the PQ event earned a reputation owners would be more likely to go out of their way to attend an event at a further location or decide to try something new. I would definitely try to attend a local event.
As far as dates go I don't care. The "Smoke on the Water Poker Run" is the second week in July and it is an "Awesome" event to watch and see some incredible boats that we all dream about. There's also Coast Guard Festival for two weekends in August I believe. Muskegon Air Show. Possibly another OSS offshore race in Grand Haven if we are lucky. I am just suggesting trying to coordinate the PQ event on one of the weekends when there is something exciting happening in West MI. That way there would be a destination to take a nice boat ride to and enjoy the afternoon. Regardless, any afternoon on the boat is enjoyable. Just a suggestion.
I have a 95 PQ 27 Laser 454 MAG EFI 385hp always stored inside and still in great condition. Someday I'd like to add a ProCharger or upgrade to a 30 Revenge with 496 HO's. I boat in Grand Haven, MI all summer.
Let's hope we can all put something together. I'm willing to help.

Re: 2005 Powerquest Rally??
Lake St Clair would be another great location for a rally. They have plenty of wells at the public docks to accommodate everyone, great restaurant's and party/swimming areas.
There is definitely alot of PQ's on that lake. I have a 29, and a couple of my buddies own PQ's (34 & 38).
