Hi All,
A big hello and as a newbie, this is my first post asking the community for some wisdom. My wife and I sold our cruiser and are now looking for a trawler that would allow us to cruise our home waterways around Sydney and up the east coast of Australia. As would be piloting this frequently solo, also want something that is easy to handle when on my own.
Two boats are firmly on our radar at the moment as ticking our requirements, easy to maintain, easy to handle, single engine, comfortable for extended stays, walk around and able to have guests come along for short stints. This has me looking at a 2007 Mainship 34, a 2009 Integrity 350 and a 2011 Integrity 350 MkII.
I am leaning to the Mainship as seems better value but would be great to get any feedback / thoughts. This will be our retirement boat as kids have finished school so looking at keeping it for quite a while.
Thanks for the help ?
