As our boating requirements and budget have changed, so have our boat choices!
We are extending our quest beyond a full displacement trawler and one of the options we are considering is a power catamaran. One of those catamarans which holds interest is the PDQ 34 Power Catamaran.

| PDQ34 Cruising PNW |
Craig has always been interested in this catamaran style even long before we purchased "MV Kozad". As a matter of fact as long ago as April 2006, he joined the PDQ Owners Forum http://www.pdqforum.com/ researching the benefits and attributes of the PDQ 34 Power Catamaran.
This is a very popular cruising boat and can be found in low numbers in the PNW and in large numbers on the east coast. This "cat" is an excellent choice for cruising the Great Loop, ICW and Bahamas.
The PDQ 34 only burns about 1.5gph at 7knts with a top end of 20knts burning approx. 4gph. At 34' LOA, a beam of 16'11" and a mere 2'4" draft this is a perfect boat to explore and gunk-hole with!
Just another thought to add confusion to an already confusing situation!
