We have just started looking around to see what suits us. We currently own a Seasport 24 Explorer. I'm not fishing much anymore and my wife and I both like cruising. That is what we have been using the Seasport for.
While the Seasport is very seaworthy, there is not that much room. In theory it sleeps four. The reality is that is sleeps two and a child. We would like to be able to take adult children and spouses along.
The Seasport is a planing boat, 23 knots. We don't need the speed, but we enjoy the trip and the scenery. It seems like the trip is over too fast when we cruise.
This leads us to consider a trawler or tug. The Nordics, except for some of the used 26 footers are out of our price range, but the 26 seems too small. There seems to be a good selection of trawlers in the 36 foot range that would fit our budget of under 100k.
We have also looked at some of the Bayliners in the 32 to 37 foot range, but I'm not sure that's our style.
We are looking forward to researching our options and the wisdom here at Trawler Forum. It looks like a great resource.
