I attended TrawlerFest in Mystic CT and was very surprised to see only one
PowerCat there.  Kudos to PDQ for showing up with their 34 and to the Mass.
Dealer who brought it down.  Why are the other manufacturers and dealers not
participating?  You would think if they want to grow this segment of their
business the manufacturers and dealers would participate and show of their
boats to trawler customers who have already bought into the philosophy. Just
wondering what others on the list think about why they are not participating?

I have been to shows where the salesman told me that the boat was at the show only because the "owner graciously loaned it for the show." Maybe there are no unsold boats out there. I was under the impression that all of the PDQ 34's built over the last winter were to fill orders. I have seen purchase contracts where the new owner agrees to have the boat available to show for a specified time.
