Last time i drove by last week the stuff outside is still rotting away like the last 3-4 years and who knows about the stuff inside. The for sale sign is still in the Yard for all you PQ guys across the big pond from me 
FYI i talked to one of the orginal owners this past summer that i know and told him he should get back in the bis and get PQ back on the map, he kinda laughed because the banks want way to much for it, but did think about it for a min or two!

Really have to wonder what is left there. Did the bank just lock the doors with half completed boats, engines repo'd by Merc, equipment liquidated? Has stuff been sold off?
Could someone walk-in and start up again with what was left or has PQ been picked over. Moulds would been worhtless except to another builder. The banks must a some point be prepared to almost give away the remains...wish someone had the capital to start up again. Just too high of a quality product to let die this way...just reading this forum I know they would have customers. Arctic Cat made their comeback in the 80's with tons of customer loyalty.

The last owner spent months trying to upgrade and repair the molds. Who knows what has happened to them now that they've sat idle for over a year now. To my knowledge, its all still there but I think that there was an auction that might have skimmed some of the easy stuff off from the top but I have to believe that the molds are all still there... rotting.
