I don't think it was a problem with the boats or quality. 2002 is when the Michigan economy started to slow and I suspect that had a huge affect on their business which had a mostly mid west following. I also think since this economy is still lagging may be part of the reason PQ is taking things slow.
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.

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.
