We bought a PDQ 34 a month or so ago and have been living aboard, moving south down the ICW from Annapolis to Stuart, FL where the boat will stay a couple of months while we tend to other business then head over to the Bahamas in Feb or March. The bunks were a compromise in buying the boat, but we feel it is worth it. The boat is incredibly smooth, stable, fast and economical. Engine work is a bit of a challenge due to space limitations, but do-able. On the trip south we anchored, primarily, but did dock at a few marinas, either side tie to long docks, end tie on T-heads or in a slip (some are wide enough for the 16'10" beam). One does have to be quite mobile as you are always going up and down steps in the interior, but we consider that as part of our exercise routine. There is an excellent support network for the PDQs on the East Coast.
