Funny how your priorities and preferences change after some years of boat ownership. We wanted a "trawler" at first too but we ultimately ended up with a big white tennis shoe boat (cruiser rather than a trawler). We still generally like it a lot, tons of space, comfortable, well made (in my opinion, for the price) but I do wish it had much more room under the floor panels and elsewhere for engine and systems access; wish it didn't have 9,000 square feet of high profile on a windy day (but then I wouldn't give up the room and comfort and view from up there either). It's very good in rough seas, to my surprise, better than I thought it would be, which was one reason I was looking for full displacement trawler style initially. Wish we had a solid enclosure and not canvas which needs so much care, but oh well, rolling it all up on a beautiful day is so nice. I really wanted a Selene 53 but -- well, life. Pretty happy now with the big white tennis shoe.
