PDQ OWNERS FORUM

John,

I took another picture. I think I know what you are seeing. It is the engine hoist which was added by the last owner. Right now it is just connected to the davit to keep it from swinging around.

John,

Here are some extra pictures of mine. It looks identical to Mac's to me. When we bought the boat I am almost positive Beth at Rhumb line told me it had the new davit system. See what you think when you get to your boat.

Great discussion all.

Does anyone know when PDQ went from old style to the new style davits? We have a 2006, hull #81 and I am not sure what we have.

Hello fellow PDQ owners, My wife and I purchased a 2006 34' powercat formerly named Tar City Star, now named Catbo. We brought her home in February from Stuart, Fl to our home in Palm Coast, Fl. We have taken some short trips since then and love the boat. We have begun the process learning about the...
