Long time, no see - I am back.

[Per]

Hello Folks,


Had almost forgotten about this community.


I sold my trawler in 2014 (Californian 38 LRC) and was out of boating a few years.
I bought a 32ft Blackfin last year - back in boating (all in).


Hope youre all doing well.


Cheers,
Per

Welcome back. You don’t need a trawler to participate here, I am an example of that…

your new boat is too fast for us

 

[BandB]

your new boat is too fast for us

Wifey B: Not for me. So, what propulsion and speed on your Blackfin? CC or SF?

 

[Comodave]

Nothing wrong with a fast boat, you can always pull back on the throttles and go slow.

Surely you jest!

she runs 3208s - each is 375 hp
goes 28 kts on wot, we cruise at around 15kts which is much more economical.
my previous boat was also not a true trawler though she had a hard time getting on a plane.

And me!

Yup, I regularly admit to my boat being a planing hull not-a-trawler.

 

[Osprey69]

Trawling is a mind-set, not a throttle-set...

Yes indeed, welcome back. I don't even have a boat at all now. I've held onto the dink outboard though. Wonder why..?

 

[OldDan1943]

You dont have a trawler? I wouldn't worry about it. We cannot define the physical traits of a trawler.

 

[candyannwilliams]

Well said!

 

[OldDan1943]

candyann, what brand of boat is your icon? Looks very interesting. I'd like to read it.

 

[candyannwilliams]

Old Dan can you send me a personal message. I tried to send you a PM about our boat but I do t think it went through.
