Very interesting, to me anyway https://youtu.be/AVAKogqy_u8?si=hGUXZGEKR1gNe043

Great book on deep sea salvage in the day... Hi - I suggest this book - https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/grey-seas-under-farley-mowat/1101360809 if you like the deep seas rescue tugs. Fair winds...

A good read... I have encountered a number of people in my life with a wide assortment of problems. I have lost people I care about to alcohol, mental illness, carelessness, greed among other things. This book changed my mind about our approach to addiction as a society. Heavy read but worth...

Freudian? "This was Frank Trane’s personal vessel and his attention to detail and design can be found throughout Hallelujah making her truly one of a kind, and well suited for extending cursing."

It's not a trawler but its very interesting (to me) This is such a purpose built boat, I find it very interesting: Pelagic Yachts 77

Thanks for the insights on the Seapiper - you’ve made some great modifications to your boat and it looks like it meets your needs - always appreciate someone sharing. This model has intrigued me for a while, I’m looking for a loop boat that is as self contained as possible, efficient, seaworthy...

window slant I think another topic - "If my pilothouse windows slant like a real trawler, will I get more respect?"

Premature send - needless to say cup your fingers to hold the line when they can get caught between the line and cleat or whatever.

I will spare the details but have to say I saw a man killed standing in the bight of a wire line from a tug attached to a submarine. Never, ever, no matter what stand in the bight. Many good safety tips above, I don't remember if it was in them but never hold a line near a cleat, capstan or a...

I thought some guidance from my industry (which it seems from the SFO crash needs constant revisiting) would help a little bit: http://www.faa.gov/training_testing/training/fits/research/media/Det_App_Lvl_Atm.pdf Regards

I have a free app that has a decibel meter - SkyPaw - pretty cool. Pretty close to as good as a calibrated "real" one I use. Close enough to help you track down the areas where the sound is escaping. If you establish a baseline and chart it different points on the boat at different rpms, as...

I agree - to have to resister to have the privilege of viewing a boat for sale - poor form and seems to be counter to the expeditious sale of anything. My .02

Thanks to all - really valuable references and advice. I appreciate everyone who answered. Working in defining the mission better - so many options and possibilities. Thanks again!

Because of my deeply ingrained "trust but verify" nature I would want to know in looking at fiberglass boats - how does one (I will use a surveyor) determine the soundness of a fiberglass hull? How do you avoid the situation related above about a compromised core? Steel, due to my background...

all good points Thanks for the thoughts and input, all good at this point as we are just starting the process. I agree with the points that the Krogen 42 might not be the right boat as we have not completed defining the mission yet. Certainly it has its attraction, just seems like one of the...

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, the tips regarding the "like" boats did help. I am sure we will have other questions, using the search function in the forums allowed me to see a plethora of information. Should we be looking at a twin engine boat or a single......... JUST...

Thanks in advance for any and all insights as well as input. Like so many here, we are beginning our search for a trawler, we have not narrowed our options down too much as we are still defining our mission and usage. A starter question - I have really fallen for the Krogen 42, not totally...
