Hello members of trawlers forum. My wife and I are long time sailors but alas, we are getting older. My recent lightning strike drove me up the mast for the last time to fix the wind instruments. We have considered moving to a trawler for a long time and I finally listed my 48 foot catamaran. As I look on Yachtworld I am overwhelmed by my choices because frankly I don't know where to begin my search. Here is what I THINK I am looking for so feel free to give me your advice:
1) A well made boat with a good bluewater pedigree
2) A boat that two experienced 60 year old people can enjoy
3) A flying bridge
4) three state rooms (big family)
5) It doesn't need to go over 8-10 knots
6) Small twins or a single engine with a "wing" motor for fuel economy
7) 45-50 feet
My traveling has been and will continue to be the Caribbean and the Florida coast. Thanks for your input in helping me find my next boat. I also am looking for a reputable broker. All the ones I know sell sailboats.
