Here is the mother of all trawlers as I see it. If it was'nt for our awful*weather I'd buy her.

The only contemporary boat that comes close is of course the Krogen full disp cruisers and perhaps a 40' Willard. Here's a heavy and deep 40' full disp cruiser that makes 7 knots easily w a 63hp 3 cyl GM diesel. Why did'nt/do'nt they make such a boat instead of all the many lesser craft we see regularly. This lady makes most trawlers look like 1959 automobiles. In just a few years we went quite far astray of the wonderful standard she set. Just had to share.*
