PDQ OWNERS FORUM

Sam, Thank ya man. I've been dredging the other site for two years now. Good stuff and tunege(sounds like toon edge) too!! Brendan, You are starting to answer questions I had no idea was possible. So, now I have a 36 with a tall rig and sexy 8hp, power tiltable, engines that may. or may not. work wi...

Hi Brendan, It may be the tall rig. Admittedly, between my lack of expertise and the PO sailing in the great beyond, my due diligence is a tad blurry. Hence, my appearance on this forum. I will definitely know for sure within the next six months(or so). At this point, I am confident that PDQ designe...

Hey Mike,

That splice is clearly visible in this great video you posted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAEsliTt ... e=youtu.be

Gorgeous!!

Beautifully done!!

It clearly depicts the curvaceousness Columbus tried to convey to the reigning heads of Europe back in the day. No flat earth concept for sailors, no way!

Pure inspiration!!

Thanks Mike!!

I'm starting to feel pretty good about this. Okay, that's a lie. I'm ecstatic.

Thanks Sam!!

It was a hi-res piccy. Hopefully I'll get a couple of replies that say "Yep, that's what mine looks like! We went through the Queen's Birthday Storm frontwards and backwards without an issue!! Huzzahhhh!!"

Thanks Henry, that is reassuring.

I wasn't able to upload the pic as a jpg. The system allowed me to load it as a pdf though. Normally AdobeReader will open it.

Did the image display for anyone?

Howdy folks! There I was, just minding my own business, when out of the briny blue came Providence! She dropped something in my lap that I could not ignore. This is not like how a foul sea-bird might ruin your freshly polished hard-top bimini. Oh no, quite the opposite actually. Believe it or not, a...

Hi folks! I've got a contract on the 2000 36 Classic in Corpus. :D It is pending a satisfactory survey. One thing I had not seen before (which includes nearly everything sailboaty :P ) is a mast joined as depicted in the attached pic. This joint is about four feet up from the step. Is this normal? T...

Sandy,

Thank you for your advice and reassurance on the build quality. I'll try to keep that in mind for the next deal.

Thanks again,

Joe Mc

Drew, Thanks for clearing that up for me. Un-chamfered holes makes sense as the root cause of the cracks I've seen. I have not gotten to survey yet. I was trying to do a bit of due diligence before slapping down the money for the survey. I feel better about the structural integrity of that issue. No...

Tom, Yep, that was fun. Thanks for taking a look at those pix. I am feeling more at ease about the stress cracks. But, they're still ugly even if there is no deeper problem as we discussed earlier on the phone. This part is not just for Tom. Open to all. Maybe I should post it elsewhere in the forum...

So, a picture is developing such that the tracks may be an aftermarket add-on. Here is my analogy: I can buy a brand spanking new 2013 Chevy Impala SS. I can order $15000 worth of bolt-on cool stuff that would make it look and sound more like a real race car, like the one that won the 500 last week....

Back at you AmyTom. I think my dad was an FC2 on a destroyer back in Korea. Sent you a pm. Wooking for nub....

Thanks Mike,

Joe Mc
