8. Great Harbour 37 (coastal, but great living space)

I should think a great liveaboard trawler would certainly be a
candidate, but rather than the new and untried Great Harbour--Has the
first one been launched yet?--would we not favor the Benford/Trane
collaborations, those wonderful Florida Bay Coasters of the early 1990s?

There is at least one GH 37 in the water, it was "toured" in the spring 98
issue of Passage Maker. If I understood the article correctly the design was
begun by Jay Benford and then completed by Lou Codega and Reuben Trane.

While the GH 37 isn't my cup of tea it certainly meets the criteria of being
an existing production boat.
