Greetings all. Like many of you, I am transitioning from owning a sailboat to wanting a trawler. I've been searching in all the usual places, including on this wonderful website. So glad I found it! My next step will be to place a "Wanted" post.
I live in Indy but have wintered in the Virgin Islands much of the past 10 years on a variety of boats, including a 52' Jeanneau sloop that I owned a partnership interest in. Prior to that I owned one of Charlie Morgan's great old sloops which I kept in Melbourne, FL. I'm tired of making the trip to the Islands and want to purchase a trawler and put her in south FL; possibly Key West, and spend winters there, when I'm not delivering yachts. (I have a USCG 50T Master's rating.)
Like some of you, I suspect, I have champagne taste and a beer budget, but am hopeful that I'll be able to find something workable in the near future. If you know of a trawler owner who is in transition and wants to sell, I would invite you to check out my boat wanted posting on this site.
Fair winds and smooth seas!
