Sailor turning to the dark side to liveaboard a trawler

Hi all!

I am new to the forums but not to trawlers, I think I have been dreaming of one since I was 9. Then I wandered away from them to sailing, which is definitely fun (and cheap, relatively speaking), but now that I am thinking of living aboard (in frigid Boston) and you can't really beat the comfort of a trawler so... I'm back!

Any suggestions relative to good live aboard trawler for one in the 100k range, or experience with installing heating would be more than welcome. I just started my search and I have about a year to find a boat. So far I have looked at some interesting ones including a 48 foot Marine Trader Pilothouse and a 45 foot Steel Gladding Hearn (which is 30+ years older than me!).

Thanks! Hopefully someday I will actually have a trawler to share with y'all!

-Chris
