Hello!

[futuretrawler]

Hello, everyone! I've lurked the forums for a few days and decided to join. Being honest, I joined for primarily educational reasons, and I won't have a trawler/yacht for years to come.
Facts about myself:
I was raised near a marina, which is where my love of boats began.
I've spent about 1/20(I know, not enough) of my life on trawlers fishing and "shrimping".
Finally, I intend to save money throughout college for a trawler and all the bells and whistles that may come with it.
That's about it, I hope to expand my knowledge on boating in general. Thanks!

Welcome, FT. Hope you find yourself on a nice trawler at some point....

Hi. I too am new here. I have quickly discovered there is an amazing amount of experience here and people that are very willing to part with it. Welcome.

Welcome, Futuretrawler! I wish you luck in your quest for a trawler. If I saved all my money during college for a boat, I would have had barely enough for a leaking old canoe. Much to much money was wasted on chasing women and alcohol....OK, so maybe it wasn't wasted!!

Thanks for the welcome, guys! @Delfin, thanks! I'll probably settle for a worn old vessel at first, but it's better than nothing. Granted it doesn't sink, I don't lose 60+k and drown in debt, or water for that matter.
@sailtones, it does seem like everyone here knows what they're talking about, so hopefully it'll rub off on me. Thanks for the welcome!
@FlyWright, No, I think you spent your money pretty well! Thanks, you made me laugh.
