Jason, Chuck;

Thanks for the information.  I am hoping to do some business with another
outfit in the same location (Tongue Point) and will be poking around a bit
next week during my site visit.  My last swing through on a Sunday found me
facing locked gates so I wasn't able to access the area.

I did have some brief contact with Mr. Fleenor a year or so ago and yes,
his experience seemed to be positive which was a good sign.  However, my
brief contact with PE also left me with an "odd" feeling, hearing all about
super secret projects with NDA's in place, etc. with little current progress
information.  Adding that to some of the past posts and the fact that the
blog site went silent sent warning flares up all around me.  I am hoping
that PE hasn't succumbed to the Ponzi boatbuilding scheme because I really
like the looks of their 50 and would prefer to do any business locally.  I'm
not a wealthy guy, so dumping pretty much all of my money into something
that might go "poof" simply isn't an option.

On another note, I'll likely be attending FLIBS after another conference I
must attend and am looking forward to taking a look at the Horizon 58!  If
that happens, I'll make sure I post my impressions.

Really sorry to hear about PE, which was a great source of dreams for my cat passions only a couple of years ago.  On another Forum, I saw this photo of what appears to be a smallish powercat at the Annapolis Show.  Early last year, I plopped this photoshopped pilothouse on an Endeavour 30 sail cat to tease the owner over to the dark side.  It sure looks a lot like the realized product here in the photo.  Anyone know if it was a conversion, or perhaps a custom build?  I'll post the photo below from Photobucket.  Sorry in advance if it fails.
