Depending on how and where they were stored, meaning if they did not warp out of shape, I am not sure why they would depreciate???

I believe you can write off depreciation on machines,tooling,& equipment for tax purposes on a business. Their might be an advantage for one party or the other for the "molds" to be valued at a certain number.

Actual mold value is a function of how many parts were pulled, maintenance, how they're stored, and age. From a financial standpoint, I would guess that most of PQ's molds have been significantly depreciated. If the molds weren't maintained or "skinned" when they turned the lights off a year ago, they would take alot of work to get back into production shape. The ones left outside would be the biggest question mark.

Got the word today that it will be 6-8 weeks boats will be in the molds

Fantastic! Great News.

you would think they would put something on their website or some type of announncement to try and create a buzz.

did they ever build that Mcleod poker run 38' that they had a drawing of? They need something exciting to get some attention.

How about this for a buzz....

When I was trhere a year aGo last Sept a mock up of the the Mcleod poker run 38' footer was in the back lot ,outside and uncovered. It looked totally different than the current Avenger but was along way from being ready, a long way!
Based on the drawings I am sure it would be a draw if they continued with it but I have to believe there was still lots to be done before they would even have one to water test.
At that time the motor choice was the Imore V 10 .

Just checking up to see what the activity is at the plant???

I just left a local ex- PQ dealer, they picked up an 05 32 PC, he had sitting around for 2 years. He had the boat on his lot, when they went belly up. it was still PQ's boat so he couldnt sell it. They sent a truck down last week and hauled it back to MI.
