OK - I know that boat. My wife made a comment about how she liked the name last summer. The world is certainly small at times.

Knot 4 Me,

I was just telling my wife that you were on this site and she thinks she has a photo of your boat. It is a sharp boat and I am a fan of burgundy.

I know the prior owners of PQ and they told me that they were having quaility issuses and won't last long????.There is a guy here in town that has had the steps repaired numerous times due to stress cracks and that maybe because of running in lake michigan versus an inland lake.I have owned three formulas and never had a claim on either of them nor did the previous owners. 357SR1man

Troll...go back to your cave.

Anyone have a contact person for the sale/purchase of Powerquest? A few months ago we purchased Awesome Powerboats. We are looking for a v-hull line to operated under its own banner. Last summer I examined a number of Powerquests at their LOTO dealer's. I was impressed with fit/finish, large cockpit & cabin and all the other attributes mentioned on this thread by current and past Powerquest owners. I witnessed the performance of both Wally's and Pwrqust's boats on Lake Clinton last fall. Both had impressive speed and handling. I find it hard to comprehend Powerquest having problems considering the product and loyal customer base. If anyone has any information please call me at 314-496-6701. Dan

Addiction, When did you purchase your boat. I was hangin with the riverview boys at 04 SOTW and almost traded my 02 avenger for your boat, but I can't imagine it took that long to sell your boat. We could not quite come to terms on the deal and I wasn't that motivated becuase I have so many extras on my boat. I really wanted the 525's but during the run I realized that it was not alot faster than mine with 500's A very nice boat though with a lot of thought going into the spec by the riverview boys.

We had a lot of fun with those guys at 04 SOTW and they won the ten grand with your boat. I think they scared the hell out of Mandy during the run.

For the record I have never consided myself a formula wannabe. I had certain expectations for my boat and a certain amount of money to spend. What i got in return was a roomy, fast, and affordable performance boat with no cracks or flaws in the hull after 145 hours on lake michigan and two SOTW poker runs.

Migpilot,

I just bought the boat in December. It only made two poker runs in its life and when it ran SOTW the paint was barely dry. I was in the boat this summer and it ran 83 all day and we had it up to 85 at one point on GPS. I would guess that it would run pretty close to yours since the HP difference is not all that much ~50 horse. I was amzazed that they still had the boat also. They had several interested parties but no one ever came up with the cash. I have the photos from that run and if that was Mandy in the back seat she looked scared.
