Overview

INSTEAD is a unique offering on the market. She offers all the performance and comfort that the PDQ's are known for, but not all the expensive upgrades that came in later models. 

As you enter the large Salon you will be immediately impressed with the excellent ventilation and visibility, dinner seating for six and entertainment seating for 10. The PDQ 34 boasts a lower and upper helm, twin queen berths (down two steps into the hulls) and a very functional Head. The Flybridge is large with excellent visibility. The decks are wide and easy to navigate when moving around the boat.

The performance and economy of the boat has yet to be matched by any other boat on the market. With the twin 75 HP diesels she consumes less than 1.5 GPH at 7 knots and has a top speed of about 15 knots.

The screws are so far apart that handling for docking is in increments of inches, not feet, even in the windiest of weather.

INSTEAD has been cruised in Florida and the Bahamas for the last eight years. The owners have found her to be ideally suited for this type of cruising.  Her speed, low fuel consumption, ease of handling, and shallow draft all make for an enjoyable cruising experience. If you are looking for a less expensive PDQ 34 you definitely should take a look at INSTEAD.
