Many wouldn't consider the Mainship Trawler line a true trawler, but Mainship labelled them as such. I wouldn't go by marketing propaganda.

Either you're in the purist camp, where only a true trawler fishing boat is a trawler. Or you're in the camp that any relatively slow, full or semi-displacement (frequently diesel) boat is a trawler.

The latter is more of a frame of mind. I personally cast a wide net in what I consider to be a trawler. All of the ones you listed I would consider a trawler
