PQ at the Boat Shows???
 

Just wondering if anyone has heard if PQ will be present at either the Chicago or Grand Rapids show this year????

spoke to them last week,they said no Chicago show this year.

Have they built any boats yet?

was told they were working on a 38 and getting it ready for
Powerboat Mag.
Also working on a 32
It seems like they want to take their time and make sure its done right.

32 would be a new model or is this their 32 SC? Powerboat already had their performance trials down in Ft. Meyers.

I thought they said Powerboat mag,
the 32 is the 32SC

I heard they built a 26 as well. But please a year to built 3 boats and by the sounds of not one complete??? Not to mention a half complete website with incorrect info on the majority of the boats to boot..... Just dosen't make sense to me.

They did say that they finished some boats that the old owner started and never finished some 38s some 300s not sure about a 26.
The 38 and 32SC they are working on now are boats they started,using their new design and lay up.

I heard they vacum bagged a 26 a while back. Sure wish they'd at least show up at the GR show.

They definitely do not appear to be concerned about getting the word out on their return. They better hope they get a presence on the East or Sun Coast as the maket in their area sucks and they are historically a regional boat company. There were/are(?) 2 new 2005 PQ's (260, 300) that have been sitting collectiong dust down at LOTO the last 3 seasons. If they cannot move those boats, what makes them believe they will move 2008 boats...especially with no advertising?

new market
 

Have to believe they are not all that much intrested in the customers PQ had in the past. They may be looking for an different market segement and if so the more distance they put between us and what they are looking to create the better there chances of starting fresh.

Just a thought but I can't come up with any other reason they could have for moving this slow and shutting us out.

I've seen pics of the 38 that is being built. All the FG looks to be the same.

Well lets se some pics...... :D
I was looking on boat trader and the classifieds the other day and was shocked to see how far the values of the larger boats have dropped. I'd be scared to death to venture into this business unless I had something that was so far ahead or different than any other offering on the market. From what I can see the larger single engine segment (mostly small run abouts) is still holding fairly strong but everything else is tanking .. The boat shows in our area seem to be good indicator of that..

The next few years are going to be interesting.

I certainly wish PQ the best, but sure wish they'd start leaking a little info now and than.

I think that can be directly related to the gas prices. Its the same with the values of trucks and SUV's. Those have dropped significantly in the past two years also.
