What's up
 

I heard a rumor and I am hoping it is just someone with an axe to grind spreading falsehoods. I am told that the PQ factory in Michigan has shut it doors. I am just joining the market and PQ was on my list, but if this is true, it may get crossed off the list. Anyone have any information on this?

I just talked to Mark Winia Today, He said he would call me back tomorrow. Must be bad Info.

I hope it is a rumor as well. :confused:

I talked with them the other day. Everything seemed fine. They were excited about 2 new brand boats they are going to introduce at the dealer meeting this weekend.

You don't spend $$$ R&D'ing new boats if your about to close OR if cash was tight.

I would think it's a rumor.


OMG! A rumor on OSO?!?!? It can't be! :)

I exchanged several emails with Mark yesterday. He was quite prompt and helpful......as always.

It is a rumor. Yes it has been a rough summer, just like all other performance builders. Things are picking up and we are very excited about our dealer meeting next week. Our 6 months no payments has been working. It is a great buy. We are also very excited about unvailing our new 240 Ultra LX and our new 320 SC with a mid cabin. Please let me know if you have any more questions. I will always be up front and honest will all of you. We love your continued PQ support.

Mandi, thanks for the update :)

Another OSO rumor.

I figured it was nothing more than that.

What's up with the rumors!!! Come on. Het I heard Cig is not making boats anymore...

If PQ really wants to make a difference they will get much more efficient than everyone else while maintaining the quality product line and performance that makes them a great boat for the money!

wannabe1, I see u just registered and this is your 1st post, not a good way to start on OSO.

It was not that bad of a first post I dont think. There was no mud throwing, and it was in the form of a question. Even stated in the post that he is just looking for the truth. :) Arent we all? ;)

Oh, BTW Wannabe1, welcome!

Chris, you are right, I guess I am just use to the General Discussion Forum. When someone's 1st post about a company going out of business/poor ethics/ ... they are usually looking to bash that company.


Welcome to OSO wannabe1.


Jan

OK wannabe. Now that we have dispelled the rumor.....tell us which PQ, and other boats, you are interested in. Let's turn this thread in a more positive direction.

Still only 1 post f/wannabe1.


Hmmmm, vedy interesting!

I'll be in the market for a Avenger soon. My 28 would be a nice ride for someone. It's in mint condition.

Hey Rick! Give me an email or call. I have just the 380 for you.

Sorry if I caused some heartburn. Like I said, I was just asking a question.

I am looking at PQ, Baja, and Formula. 23-27 foot range. Mostly I am just gathering information at this point. A brand new boat may be out of my price range. I'll make the boat show circuit this winter and hopefully be a lot smarter after that.

wannabe,

I may have some news that is of interest to you with regard to a 2001 260SX. If interested, e-mail me at:
[email protected]. No matter what you decide, Powerquest makes a great boat an backs it up! Good luck with your fact finding

Just wanted to drop a note. Things are definately picking up. We just finished a very successful dealer meeting. Watch for all the new 2004 product coming to your dealers in the next few months.

Mandi,

I will be at the Ft. Lauderdale show this year again. Will PQ have a decent presence there? Last year, the "owner" (of PQ I assume) stopped and introduced himself to me as I was crawling on the floor of one of his boats looking at the quality of work behind the side panels and under the gunwhales. He said to my wife who was standing on the dock, "Do you think he's finding what he is looking for?" He knew exactly what I was doing. That was my first look at PQ. I was impressed. I will be looking for PQ again this year.

We are currently planning on having 4 units in the water again this year. We are still looking for a dealer down in the south Florida area, so if you have any leads or me, let me know.
