"What was the best trawler of the 1970, for blue water and long distance?"

A one OFF custom build in a specialized yard that understands the requirements of an offshore boat.

It will probably be steel , and probably have been custom built in Europe .

Look there if a blue (not brown) water vessel is your desire.

AS these are rare if you require long 2500nm+ range they may be larger than you hoped for.50+ ft.

Abaking & Rassmusen (SP!) would be one builder, not a TT.

The style boat you desire has been built for decades , most any quality post WWII build that can pass survey should be considered.
