It`s like a hippopotamus; hard to describe, but when you see one, you know what it is.
well I'm not sure what tankage is required to curse all the way along the coast. Maybe a swear jar is more appropriate?
I'll stick my neck out on this one.
Californian, OA, Rangers, and many Mainships are at least slightly questionable. They all have a planing hull and are light enough to plane. Many will disagree w me and I usually think of the Californian and Manships as trawlers but the case for them is weak.
Carver, Sea Ray,Tollycraft, and Owens are not.
The following are.
NT, GB, AT, DeFever, Cherubini, Selene, Marine Trader, Most KK, Sundowner, North Pacific, CHB, Maple Bay, Willard, Monk, Pilgrim, Senator, Coot Fu Hwa, Island Gypsy, Marben and the Chantyman.
Some of these brands are not all trawlers. I speak of the ones we see here.
Do you, or anyone else for that matter, know if all Monk branded trawlers were actually designed by either Jr. or Sr. Monk?manyboats said:Monk

I know the Monk trawlers of the 80s were built in various places including Canada's east coast. I thought there were a bunch that came out of Taiwan as non-Monk, Monks. I think I may even recall Ed Jr. trying to stop them.
Ahhhh... this topic again. I've never chimed in on the age old debate, but this time I will...
.... but my boat doesn't look like an old fishing boat and have interior decor of a seafood restaurant....
She is to me!
Why ?
Panacea,
I said I'd call it like I see it so no your boat is not a trawler.
A beautiful boat but a yacht or large cruiser in my book. But my comments are just that .. or and 100% opinion.

Indeed it does. Though I have not researched them much, I believe that is the first direct connection to Ed Monk I have ever seen.dhmeissner said:But then I did find this which adds to the confusion:
Monk 36 | Soundings Online
I have a range of about 1,300 nm and cruise at 9 knots with a semi-displacement hull, full keel, protected running gear, and weigh about 100,000lbs. Basically, I meet all the requirements of the original post, but my boat doesn't look like an old fishing boat and have interior decor of a seafood restaurant. Is my boat still a trawler?
She is to me!
