Hi There,
New to the forum, we live in New Zealand and have been looking for a 53 to 58 foot used trawler.
It has been a very steep learning curve as we come from many years of off shore and coastal sailing. The change seems overwhelming in terms of makes of Trawlers and which one to choose. We spent a week in Seattle in July looking at Selene's Nordhaven's and Krogen's, as well as one off boats.
We are also looking in New Zealand and Australia. Some of the questions that seem hard to answer are the age the boat should be, the number of engines and all the electronics involved.
There are many other questions, but we need to start somewhere and we wonder how important the brand is.
We would much appreciate any advice.
Regards, Jill
