Thank you for the advice, I decided that I would be spending a lot of money to gain very little, so I left well enough alone and decided after 8 years to step in a vessel that will give me the 10 + knots that I need along with a few more creature comforts. *I put her on the market to see if there was any interest and sold her for a good price, now I am on the hunt for a replacement. *I am looking for a small trawler style vessel between 25 and 30 feet, diesel power, a vessel with a good reputation. *Any suggestions?
