Re: PDQ Work Tour 2011

Have a great trip. We'll see you when you come through. Let me know that dates when you know, and I'll have the house empty for you.

We have four 6 volt golf cart batteries for the house and two 12 volt batteries for the engines. The boat came that way and it’s pretty nicely rigged for living aboard. I’ll certainly keep it that way, although depending on need, may use lower priced batteries for the Bay and deeper cycle ones when ...

Re: Winterizing water system

On the 36, the lowest point should be the water pump. Since we purchased the boat, we disconnect both hoses from the pump and let it drain. Then I vacuum the line, tank and bilge. I use about 3 gallons of anti-freeze in the head, after the holding tank is pretty empty. I vacuum out the show drain as...

I just put Sandy's link for the new alum AB at the top of my wish list! But that will have to wait until next year.

Re: Securing a Dingy to the Hull

We use a step hanging from the stern and climb down between the hulls from the bridge deck. I have been meaning to put Pelican hooks on the life line there to make it even easier. It also makes it easy to unload gear and guests have hand holds everywhere. Here are some links: http://www.johndanicic....

Re: Dinghy survey

We have the Hypalon Avon RIB. I would probably buy the Walker Bay RIB next. If you check http://www.inflatablexperts.com in Eastport, or Criag's list, there may be some good deals to be had. This areas is really good for Craig's list.

I'll bring them both to the cookout. I've only found one in the attic, so far. Hope to have the other by the 8th.

PDQ 36 main sails

Hi have two main sails for a PDQ 36. Original mains from Hull #26 and Hull #41. Sandy gave them to me and we cleaned them up. Both are in good shape. Assuming Sandy does not want them back, I can deliver them to the PDQ cookout in Oct, or make other arrangements. Bonnie says we need to clean out the...
