I think you should just go over the Holland and buy Powerquest, open it back up and hire all of there people back, they had good people that could teach you alot. :D JB

Thanks all:

Thanks for the response. This site is great - people have been very helpful.

I've spoken to the guys a Saber and visited them at their shop a few weeks ago. I couldn't have been more impressed with the Jim or Dave. They both were great.

Does anyone know who I could contact at either Skater or S2.

I'm confused about one of the powerquest comments that someone should buy the company??? Are they out of business? I was unaware that they were in any kind of trouble.

I appreciate any thoughts or suggestions you might have. my home email address is [email protected]. I check it multiple times daily. Thanks again for your help.

Nobody in the offshore racing curcuit has more speed records,more world titles,designed race v botom hull with records than the legend Pete Hledin and if anyone tells you different they don't chit Skater is the best and they didn't copy anyone's designs like the towell heads in dubia along with randy scisim tribe at mti and thats a solid fact.If my memory serves me right I beleive pete design reggies race hull and cigarette new hull .Mti didn't know how to build a cat trailer till they got one of Lloyd Engle built trailers.Lloyd can build those blind folded.Mti wouldn't be where there at without the legend holding there hands.Just my 2 cents worth. :drink: :drink:
