Theres another performance boat builder also out of Michigan thats not doing the numbers they had hoped
hopefully it will work out for them.

I don't think so; just check out Sunsation's website and forum section. With the introduction of the F-4 in 2006 and the 32SSR in late 2007, the factory continues to pump out works of art that are in high demand; not only in the states, but in Europe as well.

Performance and Michigan - those two words would bring Skater to mind too. Not sure who the reference was to though.

Skaters in a league of its own. Not a good comparison to PQ.. Heck the price of a 24 Skater you could pick up a new 30 PQ that actually has a use other than going fast. It's all in what you want.

I heard it was Sunsation also, the F-4 is not taking off like they thought it would, and they might be laying people off. From what I heard they backed out of moving into their new building, due to boat sales. Seems like everyone is having problems selling new boats.

I can't imagine any of he manufactures are doing what they did a few years ago. Other than someone like Outerlimits.

Say what you want but fuel cost are becoming an issue.I know it's a small part of the sport but when you bring the tow vehicle into the mix on top of if thats your primary source of transportation , your going to start to feel it. Put that on top of increase in the cost of manufacturing boats and sales will decrease. It's a changing market and it will be interesting to see whats changes are made to compete in this market.
