I basically own my ultimate trawler with some minor changes. However, it interesting that many of the boat listed are long, narrow, low profile and a high D/L ratio. which is what many of the boats back in the 50,60 70 & 80 where.
We prefer pilot houses design with the house pulled back mid way, a reasonable size stern deck and easy access to the swim platform/water/dock. Also interesting that many of the boats do not have side decks, mainly because the being narrow which would make the salon/house extremely narrow. We also like the wide bodies for the added living space.
How ever if I had the bucks and not so attached to the Eagle the Delta and the Northern Marine are my favorites.
Delta 70 ft – Seattle Washington

Northern Marina –64 – Anacortes Washington

I have been through both plants. At several boat shows/and trawler fest have talk to the owner of the Northern marina at length. Both Delta and Northen Marina are a heck of a boat. Both are also single engine.
