If the 2000 Selene 47 your looking at is on www.yachtworld.com, I'd make the following observations: a. It appears to be a well cared for boat, that is good. b. There is no mention of stabilization. I'm not real familiar with Selene and their hull form, but I would be concerned about heading out to sea in a non-stabilized trawler. c. The boat is light on current, redundant electronics. I'd duplicate a source of chartplotting, radios and autopilot for a cruise of the length your considering. If it's the 1996 Krogen widebody on www.yachtworld.com... a. It also looks well cared for and loved b. Doesn't appear stabilized. A non stabilized Krogen will roll in the open ocean. It's not that bad as long as the crew is not prone to motion sickness. c. Boat electronics are dated, but functional, a bit better put together than the Selene. Overall I'd tip my hat to the Krogen if it was really a horse race between the two. Of course there is only so much you can tell from an add. I'd sure try to get a ride on each boat from an owner and see how the seakeeping is. Those are pretty long distances your talking about and your going to want something reliable and comfortable. If it was me, I'd look really hard at the Krogen, mostly because of reputation and resale value. Of course in this market, those are pretty much things of the past... Scott E.
