Just realized your out of McHenry and not Henry ...... So I'll see at the shootout unless you make a trip to Lake Clinton .

cbgenrl,
THANKS
I would like to get down that way, I want to start trying different places. We want to do the spring harbor hop in loto on may 1-2, and would also like to do the PQ rally (have you done the rally). When you start thinking of the trips you want to take your summer is gone before you know it.

In powerboat magazine I seen a 38PQ Poker Run Edition, it was a computer drawing but it had quad bolsters in it. All the 2005 that I have seen none of them have quad bolsters. So I don't know if they scratched the idea.

You Big Dogs that own the 38 PQ, do you think there is the room for that option?
I know baja does it on the 33 and 36 outlaw, and I think formula does it to, but I'm sure there is a lot of other brands that do it also.

I am considering the PQ rally, depends on timing??

I have seen the poker run addition with the quad bolsters. I assumed that was a limited edition because the 38's that I have been in or have seen did not have the room for a second row of bolsters like the big Baja outlaws do. Don't get me wrong, the standard 38 PQ is roomy, but not as much space btwn the bolsters and rear seat of a 33 outlaw.... which happens to be one of the reasons I considered baja, tons of cockpit room (where you spend most of your time)..... But who am I to comment, I have 9 foot envy.

PWRQUEST: I believe that the 4 bolster set up was a concept that would have shrunk the cuddy or at least the dash area. The dash is huge on the 38 so that could be part of it. I also heard at one time that PQ was thinking about building a 42' boat and if so they could leave the cuddy alone and put 2' in the cockpit and 2' in the engine comp. maybe even stagger the motors a little. Mr.Powerquest monitors this site, so if you read this Mandi let us know. (Mandi works for PQ).

I also have seen you posting on Speedwake.com but I am unable to reply so far.
But avoid Riverview Marine, Bill does not tell you the whole truth. When I can post I will put a message on the bad buisness area.

Wally Wally Wally. 9' envy you just bought the 29'. In my opinion you made the correct choice by buying a PQ. Scott looked hard at BAJA also but ended up with Sunsation. Baja has a big cockpit but that size makes other areas smaller.

PWRQUEST when is your local run what you brung event?

PWRQWST,
Sorry I worded it wrong. When I was talking about getting all the PQ's together down in LOTO for the shootout and I said "run what you brung" I meant it doesn't matter what you drive we're all into the same thing.

I don't know if you ever heard of blarney's Island on the chain of lakes,(in grass lake), they have boat races every thursday night from memorial day to labor day. No one under 21 is allowed, and it is a good time . It is only accessible by water. There is a live band every thursday night.and no cover charge.I have a slip that me and my friend rent for thursday nights.So that means you guys can take a couple of days off work and come up to our world and party

Scott, Tell me more about the bottom mods you had done. I have a 99 34 Viper with the carb HP500'S Everything is stock and straight with labbed bravo 1 30" props hitting 5200 RPM but I can't get more than 77 on a good day. Should be getting 80+
Relative to a PQ get together is anyone planning on going to the Oshkosh Thunder Poker Run in June. I have done it the last 3 years, great fun!!

performancemary: lets see your boat

PWRQWST,

What's your problem with Riverview?

southbound35: Well when Riverview was owned by Tim it was a great dealership I had had no problems, I thought Tim was a good business man and he took care of his customers, but unfortunatly he is not around anymore. My problem is will Billy boy last March I took my 29 up for some warranty work that they could do and this was right before there open house. I showed Bill what needed to be done and he said no problem. I also asked him to try to sell my boat while it was there since they were having there open house is a week and I signed a consignment sheet. I also asked that my boat will be left inside the storage shed since my cover leaked and just to show it if anyone was looking for that kind of ride. I called every week to find out how my boat was coming along and they told me every week that it was just fine. Finaaly after 4 weeks I told them I would be up next week to pick it up so I could use it, again no problem. On the fifth week I left my house to drive up there I called when I was going around Bloomington so they could pull ot out and have it ready when I called up there the new service mngr said I dont think we have started on it yet, I replied well I'm on my way up so I hope it is done. When I arrived at the dealership my boat was in the used boat row, ok until I got up to look at it. The cover was half off and there were numerous Shoe prints and bird crap, and leaves all over my engine hatch, rear seat, carpet, and the noise of the boat. This is bad enough, but also my cuddy was unlocked and wide open, this sucked because I store alot of my boating items in there over the winter. There were alot of my items moved around and my portable GPS was missing I found out later. My boat had not been worked on, absolutly no warrenty work was done. All that had happened was my boat sat outside in the weather while half covered up getting leaves, rain, bird crap, and people thought it that I did not autherize. I nicly asked one of the service guys to move the boat in front of mine so I could get mine and leave. He did that plus pulled mine out so it was easier to get. While I was hooking up Tim's daughter came out and asked what the problem was and I told her the same story, she stated that Bill did not own the business (he lead me to believe) and she would talk to the owner and have him call me the first of next week. I AM STILL WAITING ON THAT CALL. So I will proudly tell every person I know about have sh*tty the service was and that they should avoid them at all cost. Hey Holland Mi. is not that far away for work. Sorry for the long reply but you asked.
