The PDQ 34's are an amazing boat. I spoke with Dick Tushick at length (the owner of Rhumbline Yachts) and was given a full tour of his 34 "Heron".
The 34's truly are amazing hulls. They can cruise all day long at 15 knots effortlessly on the twin 100 hp Yanmars. Some of the older models had twin 75 Yanmars. Lots of space and living area are packed into that boat because of the wide beam.
Dick told me that beam and following seas were taken easily in this boat (even large seas). BUT he did say that the hulls don't like a large HEAD sea and the only remedy is to slow down and "enjoy" the ride. I very much appreciated that insight from him. No hull is perfect and if you think your boat is you're lying to yourself.
I don't know much about the PDQ 41 but if it's a larger version of the 34 then I'd say it's a winner for sure. Lol
