Moving Boat Hello; I have read your original post and all of the replies with interest. I live in London, Ontario and have been boating for over 25 years. I bought a diesel trawler in Florida in 2017. Here is what I have learned from my own personal experience: In the spring of 2017 I bought...

Boat Transfer Hello; I bought my 34' Marine Trader in Jacksonville, FL in early spring of 2017. I also looked at having the boat trucked to Ontario but the cost was totally prohibitive. I sailed it myself with the help of family and friends. Only 2 people on board at any given time. Other...

Marine Heads Hello all; For what its worth - in 2010 I installed 2 Raritan Elegance electric flush toilets (fresh water) in my 1983, 36 Nauticat & used them for 6 years without a problem. I sold the boat in 2016 and the new owner is still using them. I bought a 1993, 34 Marine Trader in 2017...

Thanks everyone for the feedback & info. I will check out the MTOA. Sounds like a good group to join. Cheers! Wally

MT Owner's Manual Very interesting that the company did not produce any documentation other than sales brochures. Guess I'll have to make my own manual. Thanks! Wally

Hello all; I recently purchased a 1993, 34' Marine Trading aft cabin trawler. Unfortunately, there is no owner's manual with the boat. Does anyone have a PDF copy of the owner's manual for this model of boat that they would be kind enough to share with me? Thanks very much! Wally MacKinnon...

Thanks! Sage advice - much appreciated! I figured if I managed an average of 50-60 miles each day I would be doing well. Don't want to rush too much - so many interesting places to see & visit along the way.

Hello all; I have just joined the forum and am looking forward to learning more about cruising on a trawler. My wife and I have just bought a 1993 - 34' Marine Trader (Aft Cabin). Prior to this boat we owned a 36' Nauticat Motorsailer for 10 years. The Nauticat was wonderful but the time had...
