Looking for someone who never uses their conv. or camper top canvas. Recently purchased a traded-in 380 that came with out any canvas, just a cock pit cover. Got soaked over the Labor Day weekend at the cove. Wife and I plan to do alot of overnighters next year and would like to put something up over our heads. Currently using a Anchor Shade, works great during the day to keep the sun off, but doesn't do a dam thing in the rain.... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Michael, I purchased a mooring cover from DeBore Canvas (Rick DeBore) ~4 years ago. He said that they made the tops for Powerquest some time ago and have all the patterns. They are (were?) located right in the Holland area. The number I have is (616)-896-6937, I believe the area code has changed?. The factory material is Aqualon, however he sent me various types of samples to choose from. I ended up with the Aqualon since it help up so good on the cockpit and camper tops.

Happy Boating!

Did I see you a couple of weeks ago in the Clinton river by lands end? I seen a 98-99 PQ that day similar to mine with the checkers and stripes.

Hey Ray,
You might of saw me, but my boat doesn't have a checkers on it. I keep it on the trailer but launch it at the sheriff station at the mouth of the Clinton River. The boat is a 1995 with factory graphics, inc. white out rails. What color is your boat trimmed in? I have seen a boat matching your description out at Muskamoot Bay a few times.

Hey Big Block,
I talked to Ricks wife, she said he used to work for PQ but now works for Tiara here in Holland. She said she would pass my name and number to him incase he knows anyone still in the business, but it sounds like what ever he was doing is no longer in business. A dead end I'm afraid but was definitely worth looking into. It was my best lead so far. Thanks again for the help.

They did alot of PQ's canvas pefore PQ started doing it themselves. They used to be called Great Lakes Canvas Outfitters.

I just got some Aqualon covers from them. Their work is quite good.

Thanks Bill,
I just tried calling them but their closed. I will try first thing tomorrow morning. I'll let you know how things pan out.

I thought I had this mystery figured out. I just chased all this down for another member in the beginning of August. Rick DeBoer who owed Classic Coverings said he made the covers for PQ and made me a mooring cover for PQ 270 Laser in 2000 and it turned out great. It turned out that Rick's business has changed hands a couple of times in the last year or two.

This is were it gets confusing. I was told the PQ business was sold to Integrate Resources at 616 399-9409 who then sold to Great Lakes Canvas Outfitters at 616 399-2927. I talked to a Bonnie who said she was the owner. Get her to explain and enlighten us all. I think between all the numbers Bill and I have provided we are close.

Thanks for all your help.
I have left messages at all the numbers everybody has
given me so hopefully soon we will all have an answewr to our questions. I'll post again as soon as I hear back from someone.
Thanks again,
Michael
