In my research, I have "discovered" the Nordhavn 46, and it seems to fit the bill for a long range, passage-making vessel, in terms of seaworthiness, range etc.

This model features a dry exhaust, with engine cooling via a keel-mounted heat-exchanger (not sure if using the correct words to describe such an arrangement).

Any thoughts, ideas, info or tips on that manufacturer, model, exhaust/cooling setup would be greatly appreciated.
That's the way I would go if I needed a blue water trawler. I really like the 46 even more so than the 43. The Nordhavn 46 is one of the original passage makers. For the money I think it's the best thing available for a trawler.

Happy Trails!
