“IMHO only a full displacement recreational vessel designed to cross oceans in foul weather should be called a "trawler"
The required scantlings and systems required , added to the lack of interior room due to tanks and stores mean few 50 fters could be called "trawlers" , perhaps 1 in 100?
The cost difference between an ocean crossing vessel and a lakes and bays TT would be 3 to 4 times as expensive.
Not many folks have learned to enjoy weeks or a month at sea.
