From: "Bill and Birute" <bilbir@voyager.net> To: <power-catamaran@lists.samurai.com> Subject: RE: Power-Catamaran Digest, Vol 21, Issue 5 Date: Sat, 11 Nov 2006 15:23:32 -0500 We have owned a 36 foot Endeavour Trawler Cat since April of 2004 and have completed about 1/2 of the Great Loop, coming from Brunswick, Georgia to Charlevoix, MI. We looked at PDQ's, but were put off by the flying bridge and the necessity to have repeater devices for the flying bridge on the PDQ which also has more windage. We are happy with the Endeavour for all those reasons one buys a Cat. I agree with Ron that you should try out both boats and see what YOU like best. Both are seaworthy and both have advantages and disadvantages. I think the PDQ gets better fuel mileage, but costs more initially. We have wider hulls with more space to pass in the galley. I could go on and on, but the choices become more personal than objective. If you want to discuss this more outside of this group, just e-mail me. Bill Fleck; B and B.
