PDQ OWNERS FORUM

I am looking for a source of the pull apart hinges measuring 2 1/4" X 3" on the lockers in the cockpit area where the PDQ 32 outboard motors reside. As Bravo 2 is a LRC, this is where the batteries are kept.

I added a bowsprint to my 32. (Really just a spin pole under the deck and guyed to the 2 hulls with through u bolts) and bought a used wire luff genny.

We would like to register the boat in Canada and require a tonnage measurement to do this. We intend to rename her Bravo 2. Rather than pay someone to go to Beaufort to meas...

We recently purchased Windshadow from Ralph and Cindy Bennett. The boat is on the hard in Beaufort, NC. If we bring the boat to Canada, we will be required to pay GST and PST. How does this work? Will we have to hand over a cheque to Customs as soon as we arrive or will we be required to post a bond...

We have recenttly purchased Windshadow, a 32 ft LRC, from Ralph and Cindy Bennett. We notice that the hinges on the hatches that open from the staterooms to the cockpit are all broken. Has anyone else experienced a problem with these hinges? Is there a fix for this problem?
