Good luck with that. AJ and the Kid will tell ya they are the pride of Michigan. :evilb:

Hey all, regarding engines and Bravo drive etc., according to auction house there were "ownership" issues and were pulled from the auction. They may be offered later if things get sorted out. If interested I was told to contact Jon Kupier - auction manager and let them know.

Prices did seem crazy and kept me from even bothering to bid once I saw prices yesterday noonish, that and I would have had more in fuel for round trip than $$ I had in mind items being watched.

Ain't that the truth....and rumor has it he'll be drinking the Nordic kool-aid next!

Who overpays for all this stuff with the idea of marketing small unknown boats outside the midwest to Europe which in case no one has noticed isnt in the best financial shape?

Such a strange start to a company If neither bidder has the cash or has buyers remorse, which they should, the whole thing could start over with 90% of the items reauctioned.

NK

Depends on what kind of "pride" you are talking about... :lolhit:

Claremont needs to pay for all the items they bid/won and move on..too bad they didnt get the Molds..just like its too bad some of us didnt win some of the items we wanted because Claremont out bided us...

They go and out bid everyone on most items(everyone says they overpayed for most everything) but have a CAP on the most important item the MOLDS!!!!thats just stupid..


Claremont went as far as outbidding and winning the two 6.2 long blocks that are cracked.....what were they going to do ????J+B weld them and use them on the first boat they ship to Europe???

Hey FTXV, please share that info when you find it. So many of the supplied part manufactures can still be found but it sure would be nice to have a source of 'OEM' design/quality specific trim items.

Interesting reading here...hope something positive happens after all this...

Maybe the Sunny guys bought the last hull to cut up a la PowerPlay for a new hull plug:eek:?

Are you refering to "Gay Pride"??

Well, Saugatuck is just a short haul up the Lake Michigan shore line from Holland....

I don't think it was there intention to continue with the Powerquest name, but some of the people seemed certain that the name came with. They didn't really care much about anything that said PQ on it...................

I wonder if Steelhead ever showed up.

I got some friends from germany that own a custom bike shop "NLC". And thay say the boating scene is next to non existant in europe because of fuel prices....guess thats why thay build bikes!!! So id say the marketing to europe is the first mistake.

...Thay need to keep em around the Great Lakes where thay were born to run!!!

With this kind of behaviour at the auction it seems the boat company may be in the same sour situation at its rebirth as it was at is closure.

:poopoo:
I've seen AJ with women, now kid on the other hand...
Thus no need for the 38 :evilb:

Maybe Claremont had no interest in the molds and just plans on restoring old Powerquests with the original tools that built them. :food-smiley-009:

Im glad I didnt waste time registering to bid. I had a feeling it wouldnt be worth my time but never dreamed this would happen.

:food-smiley-009:

Just west on the Big Pond !!! Summerfest Grounds !!! :bigbird:

Sunsations are ****in' awesome that is true.

After the conversations I had on the phone yesterday I don't think ill be in a Nordic. Talked to a guy that had a Thor and sold it after 18 hours. Hmmmmmm.

Got me.

Sunsation: you'd think they had a one on the side if you talked to the guys on their site... :lolhit:

Go PQ Go!!

So what's up with the Snor-dic?

If claremont had no interest in molds he sure bid a lot of $ to not be interested in them,,makes no sense why he would bid

and I wish I hadn't wasted my time registering ,, once I saw claremont wanted everything its like wtf

The little smiley dude getting drunk at the end of my post was supposed to indicate sarcasm. --------> :food-smiley-009:

Honestly, Im scratching my head saying WTF like everyone else. It really doesnt affect me one way or another, but hey, its winter, I havent posted inwhile and its been a fun story to follow.

:picard1: lol!!

You will soon know
 

Soon all the guessing and rumors will be put to bed on who puchased the molds and who are all personally involved.
:eek:

Well rumor has it that sunsation bought the molds and are going to build a boat that is solid and not something that is just made for puddle jumping. Aj can chime in on this I'm sure he will agree.
:drink:

It's true. They have actually contacted me to be their new PR man, the new brand will become PowerSunny. I will be promoting out on Torch Lake and Lk St Claire this coming season giving out bobble heads, since all those guys ever do is shake their head 'yes' to anything the factory does/says anyways :lolhit:. They even gave me the keys to the keys to the shop! :eek:

Aj .that's awesome I hope you will live up to the customer service that they are used to. Also I hear they are going to finally have steps in the hulls that actually do something

I can see where one might think an F4 is just for puddle jumping.

I wanted to bid on some sand paper but 6 grand ?????

I hope so.....there was an idea and a plan was made long before the auction. Hurry up and spill the beans!!

You must mean "work" like actually WORK like the people that build them, cause they are still in business and building boats that people buy??? :lolhit: I'm willing to bet you could contact them with a question on your boat and they will help you even though you don't own one. :evilb:

Oh boy not another one... When did you start drinkin the koolaid too jay?? Haha. Just bc pq doesn't build new anymore doesn't mean there isn't a market for their boats... We are just a little more realistic when talking about them. The sunny guys bring it on themselves... You CAN'T ask anything about another boat without hearing "doesnt compare... Junk... Waste of time... Reggie sucks" lol.
Cmon now.

Basically if youre not in their clique you can go F yourself, that's the attitude. If they had more guys like GSXR Mike and Kelli over there it might be a cool site. It's too bad bc the 32 and 43 are sweet boats, and the 288 in 4' or less

You kill me.....:lolhit:

care to share ????
are you involved with the new PQ again???

No No that's a 38 powerplay that they stretched and called it an F4 very original.:eek:

I don't know J but i recall you owned a sunny as these knuckleheads like to call them, And you went and bought a boat from a builder that no longer is around Hmmmmm please tell me more about customer service and the people that build.:lolhit:

A little bit more work went into building the buck from the 38 PP to make the F-4 than just stretching it.

I must say, although Jay is not a personal friend he is.still a cool.ass MoFo so take.it.easy on.him! It's not his fault.he accidentally drank the KoolAid. Btw, jay, reinstate your facebook you homo! Lol

Hopefully you saw the irony in my comment and got a chuckle. It was meant to be humorous. :)

Haha. I'll reinstate it eventually. Most likely just as bikini season starts.:evilb:

Spotted that one right away... but some of the other ones arent so sharp...lol :grinser010::drink:

:popcorn:

Do tell :-)
