There is a Marine Trader 40 Europa style trawler for sale in my local marina. Looks to be in decent shape. Has a single Ford Lehman. I'm thinking of going to look at it this weekend with my wife. This would be a major step up in size for me as the largest boat I've owned was a 27' Chris Craft Constellation mahogany boat I restored 20 years ago. I think I have a handle on what to look for though any tips would be nice if you have them. I'm sure if we progress and actually consider buying a survey will be needed. Can anyone give me a ballpark number for what insurance on a boat of this size runs? Just want to get a few ducks in a row first. I probably ought to consider selling off some of my fleet first LOL. They are asking $34K for it, how does that sound? Thanks.

Kevin
