Hi all! I have been reading this forum for a long time but not actively participated or very much…this is my only 3rd post and I thought I should introduce myself. Sadly, I am currently am “boatless” having sold my 21’ powerboat this spring. We (my wife and I) are in the saving phase of our boating career and hope to buy our first trawler within two years, we will be working with budget of approximately 100K and we are sure to be turning to these forums for some advice and help from the veterans when the time come to take the big plunge. We live in the Canadian Pacific Northwest…obviously some of the best coastal cruising in the world!
While a long way from seasoned cruisers we are “boat people” at heart and have both been around boats a lot. My mother and her husband are LONG time ICW veterans spending their winters in the Abacos regions of the Bahamas, they leave their boat in Florida now but have done the journey between Ottawa and the Bahamas over 15 times. Their ferrocement trawler, the Sheena II is well known in the Abacos boating community. My wife’s father is a second generation boat builder and a former boatyard owner so boating is in her blood as well…
We look forward to participating in these forums and taking the big 100K plunge soon!
