I see there is a Trawler Fest in Florida in the Winter, and this is our slower time at work. Has anyone been to this one? Is it worth getting on a plane etc. Or should we just wait till next May for WA. We can only make one of them. Time and Money is all relevant.
I'd be taking a drive to the Stockton area to check out what's available. Next, I recommend a flight to Seattle- there are plenty of brokers and dealers that handle trawlers here. Take a few days, go thru different boats, and get your knowledge. This is also the time when dealers/brokers start slowing down, as a majority of the boat sales from the January show have already closed.

Boats Afloat in Seattle is Wednesday, September 11 and continues through Sunday, September 15. Lots of trawlers there, too.
