The wonderful thing about trawlers - lots and lots and lots of space!
The not so good thing - they typically go very slow. I don't mean to make fun of trawlers, but when you are accustomed to cruising at 30-35 kt it's difficult to imagine only going 8 kt.
What are we looking for:
*2 1/2 staterooms: one for us, one for guests, and one for storage. Go ahead and laugh, but if we are still working while living on a boat, we can't just live in shorts and t-shirts, we need room for work clothes.
*2 separate living areas: an example is a salon and a helm station with extra seating. We love each other but we also need to be able to get away from each other.
*A decent galley. One of the boats we looked at has a full side-by-side refrigerator!
*A patio: we want an outdoor living space that is close to the water level.
*Ways to go green: how fuel effecient is the boat? is there a potential for solar panels to run the electric?
*Something we can actually afford!!!
We did find three boats of interest. I'm not saying they are in our price range, but one can always hope to win the lottery.
The Fleming 55 Pilothouse Motoryacht
The Manta 44 Powercat. One of the catamaran dealers did mention that we need to consider where we plan on keeping the boat. There are only so many shipyards that can pull a 21 ft beam boat out of the water.
The Maine Cat P-47
