Hello,
Although this is our first post, my wife and I have been following and enjoying the Trawler Forum for the last couple of years. Trawlers are new to us, as we only have limited boating experience <18' from years past.
Our Goals:
- Purchase a live aboard trawler within the next 12 months (preferably on the East coast)
- Live aboard for 6-8 months out of the year
We are currently looking at trawlers that range from 32 - 42 feet. From our research, the style of boats that we are looking at are: Sabreline Fast Trawler, Monk 36, Grand Banks 36 - 42 and the Albin Express Trawler. We'd like to keep the purchase price at $130k or less.
And now for the burning question: Insurance?
From what we've researched and heard, boat insurance is extremely difficult to get without experience in this size range.
Has our search for this new adventure come to a crashing halt before it even started? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
