Hey Mark,

The gassers with twin V8s often have a very attractive price but their hulls are designed for going from one place to another at high speed. They tend not to be as stable at slower speeds as the single engine trawlers you mention. From what I've heard, much of the Loop is done at slower speeds. Others on here will know better.
