My name is ken. My wife Peigi and I are looking to move up to a trawler for coastal cruising and to be our house on the water. Having grown up in a boating family on Cape Cod i have extensive boating experience up to 27' and i even built my current boat (a 25' Tolman pilothouse). In addition we're both members of the USCG Aux and have various seamanship, navigation and SAR training both on and off the water. We currently boat out of the Merrimack river in Massachusetts. We'll probably stay there for the foreseeable future, but once we retire (6-9 yrs) who knows?
When we started looking we were thinking of a GB classic 36 and have looked at several, but fell in love with the design, size and layout of the Albin 43 Trawler which is now our focus.
I've been lurking here a little while cramming every bit of info available about trawlers and trawler systems (i'm an engineer) ahead of our trawler purchase.
