Sea Dory ran an add calling their flat bottomed OB boat a "trailerable Trawler".

And brokers will call anything a trawler to increase the chances of a sale.

If you really want to hear our take on it there's lots in the archives.

I think the most important identifying feature of a trawler is what's below the WL. But I think most people feel if it looks like a trawler it is.

Thank's Mark,
The Wikipedia definition is really quite good.
I don't think they should have mentioned the Portuguese Bridge as not very many trawlers have them and by their def Willy's not a trawler ... too small.
