I'm new to boating and looking at 40-45 ft trawlers to find one to live on and take out to local islands on the west coast (26 miles) a couple times a month. I've found 2 that seem like they would work for me. One is a 1979 - 42ft. Californian - $70,000 .... The other is a 1985 43 ft. Marine Trader $57,000
Assuming everything else is equal (engine hours , condition, etc.), can I assume the Californian is worth the difference?
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
