I'll admit that a 40' Willard may be considered the perfect trawler by some but a 36' Willard Vega Pilothouse ain't bad. Their main problem is that they are all getting old. I'd also like to nominate the 32' Fales Seeker. Not many of them were built as I understand that Mr. Fales got tired and decided to go out of business. They are very similar to the Willard 30' trawler but the extra two feet makes quite a bit of difference. Forrest Myers 36' Willard Vega "Trident" Sunny Ft Lauderdale
