Verbi in case you want one we are getting a group order on these mountable video cameras to put on the boats... I'm getting two, one to face forward and one to look back at 288 KID :evilb:

Yes we did....got in around 1:30 Saturday and climbed around it for a couple of hours.
Sorry we didnt call...we we're on a mission.
It is clean but needs some elbow grease, a little upholstery work, some of the staples let go in the back seat...nothing too major there though...and the cuddy carpet is pretty run dow,
I would want to change that out.
Fiberglass had a good shine and had no dock rash or blistering anywhere.
Trailer is mint, no issues there.

It is my understanding that the springs need to be done at the 200-300 hrs mark and the head gaskets are a good idea as well.
Am I off in thinking this??

Hey Verbie, Looks like there is a 34 PQ for sale in your neck of the woods. Listed in the classified.

You are over due to have them done. 250 hours and on, you are on borrowed time. Not a super big deal but still a small chunk of change especially if you are not doing it yourself. Head gaskets are optional I think.

From what I know and have heard the 500 Carb Bulldogs had that problem NOT the 500EFIs
the cams they used on the early 500 carb engines had a high lift and would cause water reversion and the valve springs would rust and break.:drink:

I have heard of the 500 Carb valvetrain issues as well.
From what I have researched the 500 EFI's have a recommended valve spring change out at something like 200-300 hours as well.
Let me know what you think.

You know I have to say I have always leaned towards Baja's for some reason and today I got a chance to see a 29 Outlaw next to a 30 Powerquest... I have to say I was stunned! As much as you would think they should be close or similar they aren't at all. We were really surprised at the difference in actual size. Now everyone here undoubtedly already knew this but for us is was very interesting to see.

So in short we say hello to all ye fellow Powerquest owners and can't wait to get out this spring.
