We chartered a 34' PDQ in the PNW a few years back (2 cabins, 4 people plenty of room. The charter company, San Juan Yachting, has the owners add notes about their boat - I wish all companies did this. Our owner had worked out a slow cruise and a fast cruise schedule. Slow cruise was 7 knots at 1.5 gph and fast cruise was 14 knots at 4 gph. This was with twin 100 hp Yanmars. The owner said the boat would tend to squat and plow between those speeds and it did. Although you'll have to interpolate, this might be something to keep in the back of your mind. And yes, you will love that fly bridge!


Life involves risks, take some prudent ones (NOT with the BVI ferries)!
