During the summer of 1978, on beautiful Hess Lake in western Michigan, Todd Kamps and Kevin Hirdes became acquainted when they discovered that they both enjoyed water skiing. Almost immediately, a friendship developed that extended beyond their skis. Several years later, Todd was working for a marine yacht manufacturer in Grand Haven, Michigan. In his spare time he began designing, building and testing an 18′ fiberglass sport boat. Once Kevin caught wind of the project he lent a hand with the finishing touches. After countless hours of testing to see how well the boat performed, Todd and Kevin began talking about forming their own business. A company that would produce high performance sport boats.

From day one, August 16, 1983, Todd and Kevin kept their focus on what it would take to be successful: Do not compromise on quality; use the best raw materials available; build each boat as if it was for yourself; and surround yourself with quality people who share your vision. PowerQuest is dedicated to continuous improvement with the use of the latest high-tech materials and manufacturing processes.

The Hatteras legend began on the barrier islands of the North Carolina shore where the frigid waters of the Labrador Current encounter the tropical Gulf Stream. The outcome is Diamond Shoals home to some of the most turbulent and untamed waters in the Atlantic and some of the best sportfishing in the world. Here in 1959 at Cape Hatteras, where nor’easters can blow almost as fiercely as hurricanes, Willis Slane envisioned building a boat that could conquer the waters of Diamond Shoals and surmount the Hatteras weather. It would not be an ordinary boat no traditional wooden fishing boat could do this. This new boat would have to be rugged and robust to take the pounding of Hatteras waters.

But most importantly, it would have to be a great sportfishing boat big enough to handle a group of avid fishermen and comfortable enough for family back at the dock. Breaking with all tradition, Slane chose a new material fiberglass to build this noteworthy yacht that launched an industry. Hatteras produced its first sportfishing yacht on March 22, 1960, in the town of High Point, North Carolina. Christened the Knit Wits, she was a 41-foot twin cabin sportfisherman with a 14-foot beam and a pair of 275-hp Lincoln V-8s. The response was enthusiastic and the Hatteras legend was born. In a testament to the ruggedness that has become synonymous with Hatteras Yachts, the Knit Wits is still in service today after a fishing career that includes service in the Gulf of Mexico and Pias Bay, Panama.
