Julia Have cruised with a Krogen 42 in the PNW and in most of the waters East of the Mississippi including the Caribbean. Perfect boat for the area. Especially if you are intending to spend your time anchored out as opposed to marina hopping. The tug style boats such as American Tug and Nordic Tug are also popular. Suggest you look at the Trawler list as well as the Passagemaker list: trawlers@lists.trawlering.com Marty Campanella Bay Pelican KK4278
