Here are the top 10 trawlers in the poll:
- Krogen 48 Whaleback
- Nordhavn 46
- Willard 40 Pilothouse
- Grand Banks 42 Classic
- Northern Marine 64 LRC
- Krogen 42
- Alaskan 48
- DeFever 49
- Marine Trader 34 Double Cabin
- Nordic Tug 32
All:
Looking at the list I'm a little confused as to the guide lines used to
pick the list. There seems to be an over abundence of big boats as apposed
to the types (smaller) seen on the waterways. Do we all dream about a
really big boat? If this is true this means we are not happy with what we
have. Speaking for myself (and Margaret) we have looked at a lot of boats
before and after we bought SAMAKI and I can say that after each show one of
us says "I really love our boat". (I always add, but I would still like new
engines) There are features on some of these (list above) boats that I
would never put up with, wood decks, narrow sidewalks, wood hull, not
enough room for the grade kids, poor engine access, can't see the bow from
the bridge, can't see the stern from the bridge, no bridge, teak rails,
black iron fuel tanks, etc.
Anyone out there interested in putting together a list of "most wanted
features" and "could not live with features" on an Affordable trawler. It
might prove to be enlightening...
