Interesting...  A couple days ago in (the metropolis of) Clewiston, FL, the
only three boats at the dock (at Roland Martin's Marina) were POWERCATS!
Besides our PDQ, there was a Baja 32 and a World Cat 23.  I had never seen,
nor
heard of, a Baja powercat before.  It looked like a nice boat, more of an
offshore fishing boat - capable of 28-kt cruise speed according to the owner.

A photo is available on our website - on Page 3 of our (just completed)
Florida Loop trip:

Hi Henry,

I must make mention, the Baja 32 is made by another boat building company. Not
Baja Boat Building S.A de C.V. It is not one of my designs either. Sorry for
any confusion that this may have caused.
