My source is the guy who did some interior work for me. He does a buch of work for Skater, he says there all talking about it at the shop in Douglas. Im kinda inclined to beleve him just due to the fact hes not the the kind of business man that would have this much info....... Some one is telling him this stuff and I know he is in the Skater plant a lot, could be BS but..................

That's for sure, when I tell people 'my boat is a PQ' they say, ' what's that???', then I explain 'it's like a Formula'....

Really??? Had 1 Formula and 3 PQ's....now you tell me!

Actually had many boats ...the 380 is my 14th.unit...and wanting to sell that and move on up...with the Jefferson's....HAHAHA

Each the "F" and "PQ" have their Pros and Cons, but lately have favored the "PQ's"

Formulas are great boats. Matter of fact before we settled on the last two boats we purcahsed Formula was the 2nd choice. Mainly due to price. But with that said that's why we went PQ. They are very comparable in quality and when you look at the savings, not much to talk about after that, other than the PQ has a much larger cabin area than any of the Formulas. Which in my book is pretty important. Both are great boats! :D

Very well put....the same went with us. We looked at the 382 Fastech (GREAT boat) and the 380 Avenger. The same...more cabin room in the PQ, beside the $$$$ were more on the Formula. BUT one thing remains constant...BOTH factory were excellent with customer satisfaction before, during and AFTER the sale. My older Formula after the warranty ran out the factory was still there with all the help I needed and gave special pricing (I feel) for Little things that break and go wrong after the sale and warranty is up

MORE CABIN...that's why the wife and I are in the market for a Black Thunder and want the sale the 380.
6'10" head room in the BT is phenomenal

Mk and I are formally employees of PQ.When we both had our hands on Sales and Marketing, we both had this company on the brink of dominating the performance boat market. You can see now what has happened when after we both left the seen because of ownership change.Powerquest Performance Boats had the most experience boat building team anyone could ask for to get us there. That my friend, has vanished. Will there be an new owner? A new team of builders?A lot has to start from the top who ever that might be along with the experiences and knowledge of this industry.Please, no rumors until you have the real fact. It just hurts all the present owners..
