PDQ 34/36 Curved Keels?
Posted: Mon Mar 05, 2018 10:00 pm
Hello-
I’m looking at a PDQ 34/36 and looking for some information regarding the keels. This boat is an early boat without the sugar scoop walk off transoms. upon inspection, I observed the keels were curved from the hull down inward. From appearance they looked to be the same on both sides. I have seen a few PDQ’s out of the water and they are all symmetric centerline keels that I have seen, the same keel shape for both hulls. Does anyone know what is going on here? As an early boat there can be oddities, there often are design changes made for later models but I find it surprising to have a curved asymmetric keel. Anyone know anything about this or whom I may talk to for some insight?
