It is sad to say but I believe it will be awhile before you ever see PQ back up and running producing a quality boat again. There is no way they will be open and producing by the new year. That will never happen! Maybe by 2008!!

Bill,didnt mean to get you in the middle of anything, hopefully the new crew at PQ has some trick up their sleeve that will suprise all of us. This group is obviously a little sensitive about PQ, we all have a vested interest in their success!
Good seeing you the other day, let me know if you need help at the boat show's, maybe we can convince Felicia and Carrie to show some skin and generate some interest at your booth.

Pete, that sounds like a great idea with Felicia and Kerry!!! You are right we all have a vested interest in the success in PQ. Maybe ill be sporting PQ next year in my boat show space too!!! Once they get back up and running. Id really like to see that 38 poker run edition finished they were working on, but i know they were still aways from being finished when they closed their doors...

Now that one had some history and not good...especially after the one dealer flipped it on a test drive

Bill would need to answer that question, but it might be best left unanswered.
I know we talked about that boat at our poker run party Bill graciously hosted this past summer. It was after several beers so my memory is fuzzy.

BTW Bill, thank you very much for the free slips that weekend. I wish I could have stayed Saturday night as well. I'm told THAT was a party!!

Well, I have no knowledge of a flipped boat! The 32 sports cruiser i had here on my lot had 350 mags in it not ho's. Not to mention it had the cracked blocks from the time it was delivered till two yrs later when they picked it up! So it had never even seen the water to have a chance at being flipped!!
hey Macklin, glad you had a good time at the marina! hopefully we can do it again next year!!hope you and your wife have a great holiday!!
