- Defever 49 RPH
Hello everyone,
I’m close to start looking for a trawler. Its been a long journey 3+ years. I found TF an incredible source of great information that has helped in choosing what to start looking for. I’m about three months out, maybe less, depends on home sale and getting rid of current boat, motorcycles, garage crap etc.
I’m definitely going for full time liveaboard and travel north to south seasonally, islands included. Perhaps I’m dreaming and too much work. Regardless if it just turns out to long marina stays and shorter trips, I’m still in. Will have to see how things go and how adventurous or lazy I get lol.
Boats in mind 44 Defever or similar in design. I do like the 49RPH and 44+5 as well. 48 Hatteras Lrc perhaps but not many out there in my price range. I had a 34 Mainship MKIi for 10 years and caught the bug for trawlers. Unfortunately a hurricane took her away from me. Just running a 26 Trophy cabin cruiser to keep my feet wet but she’ll be up for sale in another month.
I look forward to hopefully meeting many of you in my future travels.
