No the pink was in the gelcoat so he scuffed it down reshot the black then did the graffics.As far as the top of deck goes that swish thats in there he changed the color to viper red added some airbrush highlights then incorporated the rest of the design around it.If your looking to add to your boat drop Mitch an email MitcherTcustompainting.com tell him what you would like to do send a photo also and ask him if he would come up with a design.it takes a couple weeks but he's great to deal with.Ya as far as my truck goes it's a little but she pulls it at 80 just fine the boat was an impulse by I had an 18 footer before this .

Only asking on the truck as I just sold my 1/2 ton and scaled down to a Toyota FJ. My wife has a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder which is rated to pull 6,000 lbs. I know we'll be over but we only tow it about 2 miles to the marina where it sits all summer and I tow it 300 yrds to the ramp. I figured it be just fine for those short distances. What are you pulling your 26 with??

pq man 12-05-2007 09:11 PM

It's a quad cab dakota with the small 8 it actually pulls it prettuy good I think it's rated the same as yours.

Well thats good to hear. Wished I had tried it over the summer.But than again never thought I'd get rid of the truck.

I hope you guys with the small tow vehicles are very careful around the crazies and alot of traffic! The one thing you need towing isn't as much horsepower as it is wheelbase and brakes! I tow with a suburban and still hate getting in traffic. I drove a truck for years....helps ta know what to expect outta the idiots on the road! I'm 1/2 way home from dragging my new to me 260 LX home from Ohio! Wouldn't ya know the weather would turn to crap! My nice shiney purtty is now covered in Ohio roadslim...ie salt. :-(

It's a shame you got rid of that truck, it was a good towing choice for your boat.
I too got a new truck. We wound up getting a Mega Cab Ram.
We also bought a Wellcraft Nova. Right now we are sorry we did not buy your boat, since we are currently looking to go larger. We bought smaller and cheaper to make sure the wife wants to get into this.

Engine Co 454 Thats the never ending story of a boat owner. All in all I think we're glad you backed out . I really enjoy the boat and it's easy on the pocket book. The other great thing is I don't feel I have to get out on it every weekend due to cost. Not that I don't want to. Had you bought , we had a 29 all setup and after getting some seat time I've decided I liked my 26 a little better. But how know comes spring time and something catches my eye....... well you know the story.

Good luck in your search and yes I miss the truck.

Well I was in the same situation, we loved your boat, but I was not sure of the payment. Having never owned a boat of our own, I was not sure how many times we would go out, and if the wife REALLY was into the boating thing. Well since we bought the Wellcraft, she really wants to move up to a 25-28. I want to stay with a single engine for maintenance costs. So we are back to looking at the same boats, and same prices. I want to stay under 40K, so there are a good number of boats to look at. We have been looking at Baja, Powerquest, Sunsation, Fountain, and Formula. We are thinking of placing our boat on the market in the spring after it comes out of storage. All the boats we want to look at are winterized and shrink wrapped. So we keep looking until the weather gets better.

Hello boatnt-
I just came across this post - I was the original owner of this black hull Powerquest. I traded it to GSC back in 2007. I am trying to locate it to see if it is for sale. Do you still know the owner?
