Gary, 

Thanks for the info.  Regarding your PDQ 34, do you have any pics?  Where
you able to check your port hull for the same problem?  I guess all PDQ
owners should check there boats. Sorry to hear about the construction debris
- this just goes to quality control problems. Actually both of these
problems relate back to quality/manufacturing controls and management
issues.  I'm very surprised!!!  Could you upon inspection prior to delivery
picked up these problems?  Did you have your new PDQ professionally surveyed
as part of the delivery process?  You exercised good sense beaching the
boat.  I'm sure you are grateful you had sand or mud along the shore of the
river! Having gone thru this experience, what have you learned and what
would you do to avoid this experience in the future?

The Katrina PDQ boat, do you have any pics of that too?   Still floating
with one hull destroyed is a fine testament for catamarans!!!
