When I describe my Marine Trader to my boating challenged land-locked relatives I tell 'em it's a floating Winnabago. They understand that. They have no concept of displacement hulls, coastal cruisers, passagemakers, or trawlers. They can understand diesel power, generator, galley, head, and berths, not to mention the awning and sun deck. It serves to get them away from the idea that I own a yacht, which to them brings to mind 007 movies, helicopters, and speargun toting crews.
