All this reminiscing does that suggest that trawlers what ever they are ,are the old man old girl boat type. Re; Studebaker and Packard, I drove a souped up barely street legal 56 Studebaker-Packard Golden Hawk back when. Definitely not an old mans machine.
Sports cars, bathing suits, station wagons, SUV's, petroglyphs, high performance engines, classic cars, single or twin, planing hull, displacement or that moving target somewhere in between. Should you have authentic fish boat smell or a cheap imitation bottled and sold at the local WM?
This thread has everything except an answer for the OP's question of what is a trawler.
I (and many others) feel that my power everything, AC'd 67 Wildcat "Luxo Muscle Car" is cool! May fire up its professional race car machinest rebuilt 430 cid, 360 hp cross-over-piped dual exhaust late today - or Monday! Vrooom Vrooooom!!
Everything is original. Might off-market improve intake manifold and carburation once broken in... we'll see.
Following up on CP, a trawler must be a smelly, converted shrimper w/twin 1,900 HP MTUs, with a 1950 Hudson on the deck and a topless lady driving from a flybridge. The only real question not answered here is: "What kind of anchor should it have?"
A Big One... with toppless lady pilot's twin bending over the bow rail to pull it up and dunk it for cleaning as needed! Of course, being toplesssss tooooo!!

Wifey B: A trawler is whatever you wish it to be. It's the boat of your dreams, the one that allows you to see the beauty around, to visit the places you desire. And no one else can mess with your dream.

Wifey B: You know you dudes would have a much better chance of seeing topless girls on boats if you moved to warmer climates. I mean we have topless beaches. Not likely to have such in the PNW or even San Fran. And topless girls on boats in South Florida and the Caribbean all the time. Even our bathing suits. Just saying. Too cold up here to go topless though. Plus rain always in the forecast so have to keep rain gear handy.
Just don't ask the scariest question of all...
What is a trawler owner?
You might get a thread that's wayyyyy too similar in drift....
We are a pretty Cwazy group - if I do say so myself!
Wifey B: Like this one?
It's sort of quirky funky cool. Now if they had it in a convertible I'd like it.
I'm not sure what happened to that part of me. Now I'm in a frumpy boat with almost 50 percent more HP than it came with, but Frouds Law has exchanged my tire smoking, full throttle burn-outs to unnoticeable prop turbulence.
Beautiful video....
Careful Pete, as a medico, you know the dangers of high blood pressure.
That's why,I will not mention last nights game,not a word (actually the game was complete rubbish, unlike the gallant Socceroo's)

That's no longer a has-been feature. My 2014 VW Jetta has it.
