Glad you found this thread and chimed in.

My only interest in starting this thread was to get some comments and generate interest in a 30+ foot LOA, 8 1/2 foot beam trawler. I am not trying to design a boat by committee.

It seems that none of the 25-27' trailerable trawlers (C-Dory, Rosborough, Ranger, etc) have a decent interior layout. It seems that it takes 30+ feet to have enough linear space for a galley down, two helm position, L settee cabin.

Whether it can be built at a low enough weight to be practical to tow with a full size SUV is another question.
