In my Webster's, a trawler should be a rugged, seaworthy craft. I fear the Big Loop would become a Big Roll in a Beneteau! Not a well-built boat.
I agree. I ran a Swift 44' trawler from the Miami show up to Stuart, I think 2 years ago. We we're in a 3-5' beam to aft quarter sea. That thing was very very wet. But it had a horrible ride. It would roll over some, then snap back to center REALLY fast almost like you were going to get whiplash. We named it the "swifter wetjet" LOL
This subject came up over on this other forum,.... the second quote coming from an experienced captain.

I am trying to solicit a more definitive response from him as to why this 'poor' ride might have occurred ??
Has anyone else had some personal experience aboard these vessels??
