Eddie: You posted a lot there for your first post on here. Lol. I'm not gonna attempt to answer all your questions (and I don't have the answers anyway since I'm a fairly new trawler guy as well).


What I would say is this: Your budget may be a tad tight for a family of four looking for a big, comfortable boat. Although I have noticed that there are many great, older boats on the West Coast which sell for a lot less than on the East. So that may help you.


My other comment would be this. If you do buy an older boat then be prepared to work on it (either you or somebody else. And if someone else then you'd still have to oversee the process). From your post it seems like you were just looking to come down to the boat a few times a month and hop on and go. Older boats require more time and sweat equity. How far is your current home from where you would like to keep the boat?
