I am looking mostly into older trawlers as in 70s to mid 90s boats, but any boat is fair game. What boat would you look seriously at, and which trawlers seem to sell the fastest? Ideally it would be in the 35'-45' range, but anything that comes to mind is fair game. I could add a price factor...

Excellent idea, thank you. Are there any issues buying in Canada and bringing into the US? Your recommended vessel brought a question to mind. One engine vs two, I think I will start another thread if I cannot find one that has visited this topic. I would love to have a Gardener engine, from...

We are fairly new to boating, and all that entails. We would like to find a boat for a small family of 4. We are in Southern California and will use it to explore the coastline, Catalina and other islands. We would like a strong craft with dependable engines. We anticipate that once we have done...
