Sanford: Thanks for the "heads up" on Journey Cats. No, haven't heard of them, but I think I probably have run across your boat on the PDQ forum. Mishigas.... a 34 right? My Admiral and I have met with Dick Tuschick twice in the last two years.... last year we spend a night aboard his own 34. It was tight for me, and you know, he's a little guy, so the bed wasn't quite enough either. It didn't leave us with a very positive experience, I'm afraid. Still, the 34 is very hard to turn away from in terms of what the package has to offer. We are on-track to return to Miami this summer, and we might just go for a 34. I'm a Mechanical Engineer (like Sno Dog) and I've enjoyed pestering Dick Tuschick with my photo-shop renditions of pilothouse and work-boat PDQ's very much. Since I do photo-shop boat and automotive mods for others, it entertains me to experiment with "what ifs" of cat designs. It began as a joke, but now I get paid for it. Thanks again for the info.

Larry: In my 2+ year search for a power cat, the first one I saw was the PDQ 34. Some things I didn't like (sloping door lets in rain, bed doesn't let my feet hang over, no oven) so I kept looking. Considered everything on the market and was focusing on the PDQ 41 when the stock market collapsed and the boat price climbed to $600K+. I circled back around and wound up with a 2003 PDQ 34 at a very reasonable price. Real happy with it - - even adjusted to the bed. Cruised FL to MD and back, then went to the Bahamas for 2 months. Handled seas that kept others tied to the dock. FYI, I recently saw a 34 for sale in N.J. for $199k - - the money leftover buys a lot.
