My wife and I plan to do the Great Loop in a few years. I am learning and reading as much as I can now in preparation. I have boated all my life but nothing more than 20' bass boats for personal use and a 30' Sea Ark for work. We are leaning towards a trawler style boat for our journey and I'm new to the trawler lifestyle. I know they have boat shows, trawler schools, trawler events, etc but at this stage I was just hoping I could find someone close my home (Monroe,NC) in NC or SC to "mentor" me a little. I'd like to tour a trawler, learn the pros and cons, learn some maintenance tips, etc. I'm fairly comfortable and competent in navigation and boat handling so we wouldn't even have to take it out. I just want a thorough, hands on, walk-through of an actual trawler. Anyone have a trawler, on the hard or docked, and a free day that would be willing to spend a little one on one time with me. I'm a nice guy and I can buy you lunch or bribe you somehow....
