Kevin Hirdes sold in May 2001 to Jack Moll and his investers. It didn't take long for the ship to start sinking after that. I heard Jack was trying to get out already in 2003.

rom 32, why don't you just call the factory to get answers for your questions? It appears that PQ is taking phone calls and have people in place to give some tech support.

I'm guessing the tabs you have are 12X13 Insta Trim. Look at them when they all the way up. IF they are negative, it would help to leave them down so they are parallel with the hull bottom. This...

Re: Bolster Foot rest again.....

I spent 6 1/2 years building PQ's and occasionally we had to add items like that per dealer/customer request after the boat was completed or nearly complete. Hope the footrest install goes well.

Re: Powerquest Factory

powerquest 380 - when PQ opens back up, you should really take a look at the 320 SC. That boat has a ton of room for a 32 footer and I beleive it runs mid 60's with 496's. It's a great boat for the...

Re: Prop Advice

Dyno 620 HP at the crankshaft, but you are probably only getting 530-540 HP at the prop. Everybody looks at HP, but you need to have the torque also. A Mercury 575sci is rated at 550 HP, and those...

Re: Prop Advice

Robert,

Does your boat happen to have an all yellow deck and hull with a Mitcher T. paint job? If so, I know the the boat and it's had issues since day one. Not with the boat, but with the power.
