Passage Maker trawler fest - worst money i have spent

I went to Trawler Fest twice but it was to attend seminars: I went to Bob Smith’s diesel workshop twice and it was worth it because I knew nothing about Diesel engines...sometimes I think I still know not very much! Pam took the women and boating course. She quite enjoyed that. I also went to a short Steve D’Antonio lecture that was worthwhile. But the vendors? Not so much. I believe the Kadey Krogen folks were there, as were the Nordhaven people. But I probably won’t go to Trawlerfest again. There’s now point. Vendor wise, you are better off going to one of the bigger boat shows.

I had an e-subscription to the PM magazine, but i let it lapse and I don’t see the point to renewing it anymore. I get more out of Trawler forum than I do a magazine.
