Hey there trawler people
 

Hi Everybody My Names Mike. I don't know if I publishing this in the right place but I'm brand new here, I own a 1987 38' President cockpit cruiser with a full upper deck. I'm a captain and boat nut and look forward to sharing and gaining knowledge from all of you:)

You have to post pictures of boat or you will be black listed...

Welcome aboard. We just sold our President 41 last June. Like he said we need photos …

Welcome to TF!! You will have lots of fun here.

Claims of being a trawler owner without accompanying photos are placed in the “unconfirmed” file around here. Welcome to the forum.

Oh yeah pics
 

Will have to get some pics up huh

Weclome aboard! You'll find the folks here very smart and helpful
 

Myself excluded on the smart part:)

And some of us are not even trawler people anymore but have been here too long to get kicked off. Welcome aboard. Glad to have you, even if it turns out your photo is a canoe.:)

Hey y'all thanks for all of your comments and support:) I put up a pic but it ring showing yet. I Will get this figured out! Until then anyone kn ow if I can fit a Lehman 1230 into my Canoe?:)

LOL mean a Lehman 120:)

Welcome aboard! By the way, your anchor is too small. Just thought I’d get that out of the way. It will come up at some point.

LOL I'll have to address that:)

Not only is it too small, it is the wrong type…

Na unh thats my Friday anchor

Welcome aboard! Sorry I can't help with your Lehman question. I'm sure someone will chime in.

And you're supposed to have two engines, not one, or one, not two, whatever, whichever you have, one or two engines, it should be the other! :D

Welcome to the forum!

And then there's that dinghy.....

Well even if it's the right size, it's the wrong type, guarenteed. So is your rode.

No boat, yet
 

I all. My name is Barnett. I'm in the Tampa Bay area and researching a live-aboard for my wife and myself. I've looked at a lot of boats for sale, and they all seem to come from the '70's and seem on the high side for a 50 year old boat (100K? Really???). Is there any such animal as a duel-helmed, 3 or 4 cabin trawler that does over 9kts?

Maybe, if what you want is something that goes over the "hull" or economical speed of a "trawler" is not the right name for what you are looking for but rather a "cruiser," which is what quite a lot of people on TF own. Price-wise, you are in the middle of the worst possible time to buy a boat in the class you are thinking of.
