Strikes me it's not a easily driven hull. the fact that the displacment is over double that of other 50ft trawlers concerns me..

HA, it's what you call a full displacement trawler. We're not talking Taiwan tubs or swift trawlers, we're talking passage makers. My 47' LOA weights in at 90,000lbs. I can agree she's not the most pretty boat I've laid eyes on.
