I started two long threads about two classic questions - stabilizers and single vs twin engines. It's only fair to report back on my decision.
As of today I have an accepted offer on a single engine trawler with active fin stabilizers. So there you go - my vote is well and truly cast.
The boat I've agreed to buy is a Krogen 54 Pilothouse:

I went up to see the boat in Ketchikan last weekend. I fell in love. I have a survey from 18 months ago that looks good - so I'm hoping not too much has changed since then. Wish me luck.
I'm taking delivery in Ketchikan and intend to bring her down to San Francisco in two trips in the spring. The first will be to the Seattle area and the second down to San Francisco. I'll be asking for a lot of advice from the forum - so thanks in advance!
