This is our second year boating. We purchased a 28 ft Rinker in excellent shape and enjoyed the experience. But, did discover we purchased the wrong boat. We do not enjoy speed or should I say the noise associated with high speed planning. Also, fuel consumption, not to my liking. We decided on a trawler. Started to look at 30 to 36 ft used trawlers. We are located in buzzards bay Massachusetts and would enjoy cruising the ease coast. Looked at 36 ft Albins and others that I have found are from Taiwan. Here is where the confusion starts. It appears all but the very upscale ships have at one time or another been built in Taiwan including the Albin. I am looking at a Clipper 30ft that so far looks like it has been very well maintained. Still hage a lot of questions and need surveyor with experience in CHB's. I was told the Albin has good sea keeping properties, is this the same with a Clipper? Has anyone any experience and suggestion for a surveyor? Any information would be helpful. Right now I am bordering on "frustrated".
Thanks
