Kevin, Another boat you might consider is the new PDQ 41 Powercat. At the PDQ get-together in Annapolis last month, Rob Poirier gave a presentation on this newest model -- which they expect to launch next spring. A major feature of the 41 is a full-height owner's stateroom with an island queen size bed. Beam is 18', draft 3', power is twin 160's, expected cruise speed is 16-18 knots. The design has been completely computerized to allow presicion cad-cam fabication of most components. It promises to be an awesome powercat -- a big step up from the 34. With your time frame, this boat should be well proven by the time you're ready.

They offer an island bed in the master cabin, good size heads, nice galley, and enough amenities and living space for us to be very comfortable. More importantly, the prices for the Endeavors are in the ball park as far as the budget is concerned.

Henry, do you have any information you can share with the List about the new PDQ 45 Powercat that also is in the works, after the 41? Rob Poirier won't tell me nothing (double negative for emphasis) as he knows I'm a working journalist. --Georgs -- Georgs Kolesnikovs Power Catamaran World http://www.powercatamaranworld.com
