We have the same issue on "DreamCatcher'. When we come down the Pacific side of Baja in March the seas were rough and we hade water coming up the shower drain and the galley and head sinks as well. Remembering the rubber stoppers in the sinks helped. We have a dri-deck mat on the floor so it is...

Floorboard Maintenance

Our boat is a 1996 and the floorboards need some maintenance. What is the best type of cleaner and sealer to use that will not make the floor slippery?

Re: New PDQ 32 Classic Owner

We are the new owners ( I believe the third owners also) of Hull #17. We kept the name 'DreamCatcher' from the previous owners and have already run into some prior friends of the owners. We love the boat and have just completed our first adventure. You can read about it and see some video at the fol...

Bow Vent Cover

We own 'Dream Catcher' a 1996 PDQ 32. The inboard bow vent cover is missing and water is entering the forward locker in rough seas. Does anyone know where we can buy a repleacement cover? The vent is oval shaped and is about a foot above the waterline. There is an identical vent on the opposite hull...

Do you store the tank inside the gasoline fuel locker when you are not BBQing?
