Launching a new PDQ 34




While I was at the factory in August, PDQ 34 Hull 113 was launched and we spent some time out on Lake Ontario in 6' rollers. With full fuel and water, we were able to do over 21 knots, not bad! The factory is about a mile from the launch ramp and the boats are pulled on a trailer to the marina by a tractor. Once at the Marina, they are eased down the ramp, pulled to the fuel dock and filled with fuel and water. Pretty slick deal.


It then takes the commissioning team several days to get the boat ready to head for home.
