Howdy neighbor: We lived in Walden for many years and in April Sound as well as Conroe before moving to the hills. Had a couple of sailboats on Lake Conroe as well as down on Clearlake. Port A is one of my favorite places. We like trawlers and had a CHB for several years. You are right about...

Chris: That's kinda my way of thinking. We start physically looking at boats next week. We had a trawler and a few sailboats but I suspect when the Admiral gets on a Sea Ray or Azimut I may have a problem getting her back in a displacement hull boat.

The "Stairs instead of ladders" is one of the reasons we are looking at the faster boats. We are no longer spring chickens and these type of details mean more than they used to. Is it practical to run these boats at trawler speeds on a regular basis or are the hulls just not made for it?

James I just joined the forum also. We have had several boats and kept them in the Clearlake area. We live in the Hill Country now and would probably keep a boat in the Corpus Christi / Port Aransas area. Was wondering where you were planning to call home port?

Hi folks. New to the forum and would like to soak up some of the knowledge and wisdom from the trawler community. I suppose I'm starting to lose it a little as I have been thinking about another boat. We have been talking about doing the loop and I have been parusing yachtworld and boat trader...

Makes sense. I would think you would want to blow it out a little after a long low speed run.

Engines run the gamut from the 300 horse 3126 Cats, 430HP Volvos to the 430 horse Cummins. We haven't narrowed down a particulay boat yet. I believe that hull is cored. How do you like the Cummins engines? My experience with engines is Yanmar on the sailboat and the old Ford Lehman on the trawler.

Any issues with engine problems due to running at slow RPM for extended periods?

Haven't been on here for a long while but I'm having a relapse of the boat disease. Trying to decide if I want to buy another boat and do the Loop. Been looking at single engine slow boats to twin aft cabin boats. The two boats that I keep coming back to are the Heritage East 36 and the Sea Ray...
