“Our main claim to fame was a lot of boat for the money,” Don Miller told me. “Maybe it was not the best in the world, but it was a lot for the money. We put a lot of people in boats who couldn’t afford them any other way.”
Miller said he hired Ed Monk to design his first trawler, the 1968 Eagle, a round-bottomed yacht. He then retained Floyd Ayers, after Monk died during the design of a second yacht for Marine Trading. Ayers continued to design Marine Traders for 30 years.
