I think perhaps it's anything that blows their skirts up, and/or is expensive might be the definition.
In that case, helicopters on boats are really cool!

Believe most would agree this is neither a trawler nor a tug.

"buy quality you only cry once".
Were these Heavy Cruisers the original trawlers?

I doubt it. But what came before them?
Averilla and those like her are probably pre-war boats and were Cruisers. At the time I don't think they were called anything else. But of course I only know that they were called Cruisers in the 50s. I spent a lot of time around Lake Union in Seattle at that time. Some that looked more like a modern Passagemaker were called Heavy Cruisers.
A modern day Cruiser would be like a Carver or Bayliner. So perhaps nothing's changed except Heavy Cruisers are now Trawlers.
Ahh, you're set up with diesel heat. I only have wall mounted Thermador electric heaters in each compartment and they're fine, March through November.as for staying warm in Oregon, we have not moved aboard yet, but have spent the last 1.5 years on a sailboat in the same marina.. staying warm is not an issue so far
the person I am buying the Californian from is also a live aboard and has not had any issues.. the boat has 2 diesel heaters for when it gets *really* cold.. which is not often... he actually lived through a couple of winters in AK with it. A couple of standard West Marine electric heaters work just fine otherwise.
