Hi Folks, We bought our PDQ MV32 to do the loop and we finished in Stuart today. We had a great time and loved the experience. We're from Oregon and the next plan is to get our Oregon boat up to Alaska. We loved the PDQ for the loop. Easy handling, great fuel economy and nice living space. But I don...

Hi Mac, For your small areas i've had good luck inlaying sections of veneer. It's fussy work but if you are careful you can get a pretty crisp line and even if not perfect is better than you started. I have a section on the floor at the corner of the upper settee where i'm going to carefully remove ...

Hi Doug, I used access plates from "Sea Built". Fisheries Supply in Seattle carries it but I suspect you can find them elsewhere. I used the 8" plates that use a 6" hole. That makes it easier because you can get a 6" hole saw pretty easily. I ended up using a jigsaw and that...

I ended up using USA Fuels. The forward tank had so much water he gave up after and hour of circulation and we pumped it out as waste. The aft tank had about 70 gallons in it. He went through 3 complete filter set changes so 9 large filters in all to get it clean. Really glad I had this done.

I really like this modification because it eliminates the alignment challenge of centering the shaft in the log when you only have the single aft bearing. As an ex-mechanical design engineer I have a concern that the system is over constrained. Three points don't make a line so now engine alignment ...

I've added inspection ports to both fuel tanks. Glad I did because there is pretty heavy bio contamination. I'm going to try one of the polishing services that claims they can disperse and filter the sludge without mechanical scrubbing. I'll be able to tell. And in the future I can suck out any wate...

Thanks, the baffles are the challenge for sure. I didn't notice any weld spots or lines along the top to tell me where there were. One odd thing on our forward tank is that the builders test label said the capacity was 500 liters/130 Gallons. I don't think that's possible but it's on the test cert l...

Hi Folks, I'm new to the forum and new to PDQ almost (Close next week). I'm looking for recommendations for a fuel polish/tank cleaning service that covers the Port Canaveral area? Also has anyone added inspection ports to their fuel tanks? If so how many did you have to add to deal with internal ba...
