A PDQ 32 LRC cruising catamaran listed at $65,000 prompts Lady K to examine whether the price reflects a genuine opportunity or a structural disaster.Watch The PDQ 32 is a 32-foot, 7,200-lb foam-core, epoxy-and-carbon-fiber catamaran built in Whitby, Ontario in the 1990s, drawing 2.5 feet with a 16-foot beam.0:58 The LRC version carries twin inboard Yanmar diesels rather than outboards, with roughly 40–50 gallons of fuel and comparable water capacity — enough for coastal cruising, the Bahamas, or the Great Loop.2:00 Construction quality is the boat's main argument: owners consistently describe it as overbuilt, and PDQ produced only about 50 hulls.3:13 The low price follows from four factors: 32 feet is considered small in the catamaran market, the 1990s build date drags value down regardless of condition, the boxy appearance undercuts emotional appeal, and the limited production run shrinks the resale market.5:58 Cruising speeds run 7–10 knots; the boat performs best on a reach and is stable downwind.5:02 The interior offers two cabins, a functional galley, and a saloon, but the narrow hulls mean single-file movement.4:32 Lady K concludes the boat is a legitimate cruising platform for a couple willing to accept its size and age in exchange for twin-engine reliability and shallow draft at a used-truck price.7:31
