The MTOA has a lot of members with these boats.
MTOA - Marine Trawler Owners Association You won't regret joining.
RTF is right about the early days of trawlers being like "A free for all" where a low quality boat with no sealing around windows could be built alongside an Ocean Alexander. We looked at over 50 trawlers in our price range before buying. Some were trainwrecks, some were good picture takers on yacht world. Good luck with yours. HTH
