Correct, questionable items were pulled and "may" be available at a later date.

I worked with the bank directly for several weeks trying to put a deal that worked for us both that could keep the company together. Didn't pan out obviously.

What I did learn right away was they had no clue the level of cluster they got themselves into. Talked to them on a Wed and asked if all boats had clean titles. Their response was "well no but our lawyer is looking into it, we should have those by friday no problem". :eek:

Same thing when asked if the Powerquest name could be included, outstanding liabilities, etc etc.

You should see the bill that was rang up on the banks dime. Ouch.

But I did make a nearly $1million offer....90% of which was giving their inflated items back to them :drink:

Too bad for everyone involved from the workers to customers to suppliers all the way up to the bank. EVERYONE got screwed. Be interesting to see what happens tonight, I expect the heavy hitters will come out to play in the final minutes.

Well, on behalf of all Powerquest enthusiasts out there, I sincerely thank you for your attempt. I have lingered in this forum for a long time and after the interesting events of the auctions, finally signed up. It shall be VERY interesting to see what becomes of all this...

I think they should have taken your offer...looks like their going to come up short..

Looks like Steelhead is the new winner @ $200k. Probably not a bad deal if he has the right people and resources. Will be interesting to find out who it is. "Steelhead" makes me think it might be someone local. I know of a couple people pondering buying it also, will be interested to know who now has it.

Really hope they take it serious and keep it in Holland. Lots of good people still in the area

Hey but i did get the dually, now I just need a bumper sticker the says: I tried to buy a boat company and all I got was this lousy truck!

I should but it on ebay and let claremont and steelhead battle it out for it. Probably get $10k for it the way they were bidding LOL

In all seriousness tho any PQ former workers remember if the dually drove ok? Listing said it starts but didn't say anything about how it drives. Thinking getting a one way rental and head over to drive it back.

fantastixvoyage, pm sent :-)

The guy sold it Jay... KID is back looking at sunsations again... Must have bumped his head at work, maybe he leaned back too far taking a nap. A nice 33 AT just came on the market and looks killer... Seems to be priced right (something he won't find looking in the other direction... LOL)

Hopefully some more boats hit the market by April! Slim pickins right now...

Talk to Verbi... if you want a nice one of 38 PQ:drink:

I have a standing 65k offer on that boat already Bonerass!

You would definitely score some hotties with that fine machine. Just don't bring up the whole living with dad thing. Or the I used to have a sunsation thing. Or the chevette collector thing. Or ....
Haha enough fun with that.

Not sure how the Credit union thing work...
but maybe you could go back and ask for some more credit and make a serious offer...

:lolhit:

Give it to him Kidd!! :drink:

I like your thinking.....:drink:

Thats some funny!! :grinser010:

Looks like 288kid mat be snaggin another boat! Maybe his buddy AJ will get a finders fee!:D

Right on...what's he looking at?? Tom's 300??

Aww sh!t. Is it pink???

33 AT, looks like he may have quit drinkin the Sunsation KoolAid, realized that 90k for a 32 with black motors really is a ripoff after all... Haha. That's how you get such good customer service, you pay for it up front with the boat! :lolhit:

Loan approved deal agreed upon. Hopefully going to get it next weekend!

Sweet ride! Congrats. Now ya just gotta get someone to show ya how to use it :evilb:

Instead of just shoving 2 sticks forward and steering now theres 4. I got it figured out.

Full hydro, you don't even have to steer. It's like autopilot:drink:

Looking forward to that! Almost rolled my 288 when I let go to grab my oakleys from flying out one day. Derek was not impressed! LOL

Hey, congratulations! post some pics...I like the looks of ATs...just hope there's no rainbow stripes on it lol. and deep vee should handle lake MI. really well.

Not impressed but not afraid!

?????????

Inside joke Tom.

Derek is "not afraid"... That's his nickname, I'll explain over beers

Is it the one in classifieds on here the 09 w/525s?

That will be sweet. Thunders are cool. I'll have to come over and check it out at your DADS HOUSE!
Haha just pokin fun cuz I can. Jealous really, if I didn't have a house and a wife, oh the toys I could have...

Aww poor guy. LOL

Thats a smoking and smart buy!!

It's a barn and you no it....

Can't go get it till next weekend cause the drives are still off and the mechanic won't be back till Tuesday. I dunno if I can't wait that long I'm beyond excited!

Congrats, Kid. Twice as many lanyards for the Sunny guys to give you crap about not wearing. :drink:

thanks! They'll get a good view of them flapping in the breeze as I stroll on bye! LOL

That is a beautiful boat. True 33 so it is like most 35's and will seem like a freighter compared to the old 288. Should eat up the rough stuff. Enjoy!

Eminem reference?
