Welcome aboard. I am the proud owner of a Prairie 29,hull #6. She was built in 1978 and we purchased her from the original owners in 2010. We are in fact in Florida, so I can't offer much assistance with your area. I can tell you that if you like comfort and classic lines you will love your boat. This our first trawler, have always been a sport fisherman. Speed is a relative term and in the case of these boats it is a non issue.
I do in fact have an original boat manual for the boat. It is in a loos leaf leaf notebook.
