The best selling point about a trawler (for the admiral) was that she can sit UP, in the salon, be reading a book and look out, see whats happening, and keep the vitaminD going. She was getting pretty fed up with being down a 4 step companionway, 3' below the waterline, with three slits for windows that she couldn't see out anyway.

I was looking forward to running a boat at appriximately the same speed as a sailboat, with no work involved. WITH enough water to take a shower, WITH hot water, With a fridge and an actual stove that could cook something.

The AC, microwave and an actual head that doesn't smell is a bonus. (oh yeah, having a deck that is flat when ON the head is a real bonus too.)
