Dave is a good guy i have known him for a very long time...he was agreat help when he worked at the factory. I used to be the service manager at Thunder Marine we were a mile from powerquest.

Its been awhile since anyone reported, any news at the new PQ factory?

It's been a while. I wonder if they will actually "MAKE IT"???

Hope so. They make (made) a nice product.

Well I talked with Bob about a week ago regarding them doing some upholstery work for me. He sent me some samples to match colors so as soon as I can get to the boat , I'll be pulling the back seat and sun pad off to take up to the factory. Than I'll have some news to report.

By the the way if I'm not mistaken the sun pad is screwed from the back side of the fiberglass hatch? Which if I'm right means I don't have to remove the entire deck lid??? Can anyone confirm that?? I'm trying to figure out how much time its going to take to remove these items. If I have to take the entire lid off I'll need to have some help.

On my 290 it was screwed from the bottom with 16 or 20 screws and finish washers, and came off in one piece, and left the raw galss / wood base still hinged to the boat. The deck will need ot be about 100 degrees up so you can get in witha screwdriver for the back screws, so have a friend or rig a support for the deck while it is vertical

Bingo!!! That's what I wanted to hear!

Thanks

Still no 2008 or 2009 PQ's listed anywhere that I can find. Guess they are making resin-infused bath tubs?! :p

I'm bored today, I'll go check out the PQ plant. I only live 1 mile from the place! :cool-smiley-027: Get back with y'all later tonight.

Please do, be good to get a first hand update!!

Thanks!
