If I am going to do exclusively coastal cruising and don't plan any trips further than the Keys and the Bahamas why do I need a trawler?
Can't I just buy a boat like the Meridian 341 or Bayliner 3587 and coastal cruise in that. The initial purchase price on these boats is considerably less than a trawler with considerably more amenities.
The Camano trawler I rented last summer could not even come close to the comfort that the aforementioned boats offer.
So why do I need a trawler? Because I think trawlers are cool? If that were the case I'd buy a cool Porsche instead of the efficient Camry that I drive.
