Been pretty quiet around here, lately. I was beginning to think we're polishing the boats, getting ready the first launch.

Talked to Bob at lunch time here. He said they're still working on improving the hulls, but are VERY close. Mostly at this point they are working on generating build sheets with std equipment and optional features. That way they have a uniform build list to work from. Then its on to advertisement and putting it out there that they are open for business. They have been working though. There were about 12 cars in the lot today and Bob said they built and shipped out a 300 this week for a customer. I'll be stopping back next week to go over some business, I'll see if I can get the plant tour! I was told it wouldn't be a problem. Heck, maybe I can sneak the digital in with me!!!

Sounds great, and I hope it happens. But customer sat is only #1 if there are customers.

I am not making a hit on PQ - I love their boats historically, but it is time to show something......

I believe PQ has a pretty strong following,and when they get to the point where they feel comfortable making a anouncement alot of people will be pleasantly supriced at the new product.
Some times things do take a while,look at Sunsation and how long it took them to come out with the F4,they didnt rush to get it out the door,they just kept us up to date with pictures.
Maybe its time for them to take some pictures of the new hulls and post them,but thats up to them.
I wish them the best and Iam sure its only a matter of time before they make some kind of anouncement.

My thoughts exactly........... someone needs to try to get pics when they go back there.....if you are allowed.

Pictures would be great. They help show the progress and get people excited that things are coming along.

I hope all goes well for them....
