Hey Guys...
Forgive my ignorance and I hope I am phrasing my question correctly. I have a lot of experience in running fishing boats offshore (I was an offshore Captain for years in the upper Keys) but I have no experience in live aboard trawlers except for performing engine work on a few.
Anyway...my wife and I have been pondering our decision of investing in a trawler designed for ocean crossings. We are now thinking of keeping our house in Key Largo and buying a trawler that would allow us to spend a few months in the Bahamas and maybe hoping islands all the way to the Caribbean. Anyway....would these "coastal trawlers" be suited for that type of cruising?
Thanks guys
