As retirement is just around the corner for us, we are strongly considering a trawler for next season. This vessel would be to replace our current 35' cruiser we have on Chicago's Lake Michigan. We look forward to further exploring Lake Michigan, down the Illinois River and beyond at a more leisure pace. Can anyone comment on their experiences with the Grand Banks, specifically the 43' EU. This trawler seems to check many of the boxes on our wish list. Have read good things about GB, but most of these published articles only say good things about all boats. We are looking for a quality used boat in ready to use condition, not a fixer upper. We especially like the pod drives, the fly bridge, helm door is key to me getting around for dock-lines, 2 engines, ability to get up and go if you need to, safe and great quality - appreciate your response
