Does anyone know about Pequod boats? What was the last year built? 1st year?

Would love your help.

pequod scuttle butt

Greetings fellow pequod owners. I have a 1974 that I purchased in late 94. since that time I added some new features, the most outstanding was the addition of a custom aluminum half tower with an EZ2CY enclosure and a teak bow pulpit. I replaced the windshield and side sliding windows this past summer with units I had made by Ocean Dynamics in Miami. The lower station had to be moved aftward 1.25 inches to accomodate a built-in ref/freezer. I used a Norcold full size unit. While involved with that project I discovered the open space that was basically closed off under the galley floor. A hinged door above the stairs drawer opens this space for storage and in my case a prefect location for a Lectra-San system, battery charger, and other electronics needing a dry but easilly accesible location. Since the tools were still plugged in I relocated the saloon A/C coil into the locker to the right of the lower helm and just behind the refridgerator bringing the discharge duct straight upward and thru the dash panel. This directs discharge air up to the cieling and fills the salon with cold/heated air. The left over space above the A/C unit is just right for a Liquor Locker or pantry type storage. The medicine cabinet can be removed for access from the back side. This season's project will be to finish some interior woodwork and to add underfloor insulation while replacing the wall to wall carpeting with Teak Parquet flooring. The repowering will follow but at this time I do not know which engine/trans combination will work the best. I heard that someone had installed GM 454's on to the orig. paragons. Any suggestions out there?

Pequod 34's

I am new to this forum and I have owned a Pequod 34 for five years. Would like to communicate with owners of this vessel for ideas. Also, would really like to know the history of the boar. Specifically I would like to know where i could get replacement struts.

Thanks,

Joe

Pequod 34 Sport Sedan

Hello Pequod owner's. I just joined the yacht forum. I own A 1974 34'Pequod Sport Sedan. I know they are A very well built boat. As far as I know. They were built in Concord NH industrial park. I just rebuilt one of the 318's last year. Now I am resealing all the windows and frames. I am trying to bring her back to original. I owned it for two years now and my wife and family like it very much. I know of three more in Newburyport

My First boat Pequod 34'

I bought my 1975 34' Pequod in November of 2006. The vessel is documented with the Coast Guard and hails the name Carried Aweigh. The interior has been redone and the inside steering control had been removed and replaced with an LCD TV. It has a seatalk system so that the steering can be controlled with a computer from inside but I do not have the software to try it out. The 318's were replaced in 1998 with Marine Power 454 GM motors with V-Drives. The Props are 19 x 21. Does anyone know if these are the original size propellers? A diesel generator has been added also. I do not believe this was with the original eqipment. The fuel tanks are 210 gallons each. Are these original? I like many other people have been trying to find out more information about the Pequod Sport Fisher. That is how I found this Post. Would love to find a manual and would pay to have it copied. I am currently renting a boat lift that is rated for 21,000 pounds. I am guessing that with the additions that it probably weighs 19000 lbs but not for sure. I could not attach pictures but can send if requested.

Great Pictures

You already have a picture of my boat the Carried Away. All my pictures are greater than 2 meg jpeg's so I cannot attach them. It looks exactly the same except the top has a full bimini all around.

Thanks

Must be me!

I expect that the Pequod you spotted in Annapolis was "Melody". She's a '76 and I bought her in '99. She's been a wonderful, dependable boat for us. When I bought her, I did some research and managed to contact some of the key people that built Pequods in Concord, NH. I have correspondence and some of the literature and also found a fairly thorough article in a 1977 "Boating" magazine. I copied it at the Library of Congress in black & white. I need to go back with my scanner. The owner closed up the the company in 1982. There was a major downturn in the boating business then. He said he could have cheapened the boat but decided to close up instead. The molds were stored in a barn and subsiquently lost in a fire. I have been thinking of putting up a web site with all this stuff but haven't gotten around to it.

I've decided to put "Melody" on the market after her spring haul-out. I'm getting ready to retire and my wife & I will buy a sailboat to cruise the Caribbean during the winters while we are still ambulatory.

Website Posted

OK - I've put together a website to share the information I have collected on Pequods. I hope you find it interesting and perhaps useful.
