Hey John, Thanks for the response. Were you at Constitution Marina? What do you mean by "equipped for liveaboards"? The marina that I spoke to, also here in Boston, said that the liveaboards use a garden hose from the main building to fill their tanks, because the slip water is turned off...

Hello all, I am in the my planning stages of purchasing. I will probably end up with something in the whereabouts of a 65' Trawkler, very possibly a Hat LRC or similar. I will be living aboard in New England at a marina for a few years, taking short trips until my kids finish school...

Again, with all due respect, this is a different question. I figured that I wouldn't have to reference, because most active posters would remember me anyhow and those that don't or weren't around, can always view past posts if they choose. and, by the way, I took all of the advice that I was...

No, actually, it was a different question that I gave a run. I was trying to figure out, over, the summer I think, whether to get a sailboat, trawler or both. I was also trying to figure out what size I would need and the ins and outs of living marina side for a while. I have gotten past most...

Marin, Thanks for the reply. To answer your qestion. I am a total newbie. My kids are still in gradeschool so I figure that I can start with hiring a captain, working my way up to short trips, then longer, then maybe hire a captain again for a very long trip until one day after several years of...

Hello all, For several months I have been researching and flipping through Yachtworld trying to figure out what boat I need and will possibly purchase this Spring. I think that I may have narrowed it down. I need a comfortable liveaboard with 4 or 5 staterooms (kids). I would like to be at 65'...

Thanks for the info. I had seen some boats with pilothouses on the flybridge and loved that, then got wondering if it could I could add it to whatever boat I get, or if it would make the boat top-heavy/unstable.

Hello all, I am planning to purchase a Trawler to live aboard with my 5 kids and my mom. I am going to purchase something large to give us all plenty of space, probably around 65'. I will live in a marina for a few years so my kids can get through High School. We will take weekend and...

Waterfront home- Been there/done that. I think we'll be ok with the wastewater as we will have a pump out at our slip.

Phil, what size is your boat? You just reminded me of another question that I had. What's the deal with walk around decks. You mentioned that your boat is wide body, so that means that you do not have a walk around, correct? How does that effect docking if at all? I would prefer not having...

Yeah, the yard problem I won't be able to get around. thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Thanks for the links Gene, The requirements don't seem like too big of a deal. Things that a boat that size would probably have anyhow.

I agree, I do have a boat load. That's why I've decided to just go ahead and get a big boy boat. I want to be sure that we don't feel cramped, especially since we will be full time live aboard. You're so right, the marina is VERY important. For us, the top of the list includes pump out at...

Hey Phil, Sorry about that. I am planning to sell my house and buy a Trawler in a year and some change. I will purchase a Trawler to liveaboard and have been trying to figure out what kind/size? I have 5 kids and my mom will also join us. So, I need something big enough to comfortably fit...

Hey Gene, thanks for the advice. Would you mind elaborating on this comment a bit. I tried to look it up, but couldn't find anything.

Hello all, I am in the process of preparing to live aboard with my family. I will be purchasing a Trawler somewhere in the 60-70' range. I have specifically been looking at a 65' steel boat that I found. I was wondering what fuel consumption is considered good on a Trawler that size? The...
