RE: Taiwanese is rough seas and caribbean crossings?

As long as you have the proper prop, a Lehman 120 or Perkins 130 (or just about any single-engine trawler can make it. They have TONS of torque, due in part because of their huge rotating mass, that can spin the prop pretty effectively. You may only make 5mph, but you'll never be making neutral headway or going backwards unless you are in a helluva blow.
