Where have you got it hidden? Have you got a Link?
2001 Albin 36 Trawler Power Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com
Where have you got it hidden? Have you got a Link?
. Builder: Ontario Yachts Designer: Ken Ball
Cruising Speed is 9 knots with a top end of around 15 knots
This engine is the largest one used by the builder in these boats and makes reaching cruising speeds very easy and because it doesn`t work hard the fuel efficiency is very good.
I wanted a trawler with big saloon and covered aft cockpit, with a big flybridge to get the biggest floating cottage possible in a small package.
At least now I know the numbers I'm looking for: 6tons/300hp/34' by 12' for 3-4mpg at 7 kts.
You won't find the first sentence with the second sentence (6 tonnes, 12' beam) in the same boat. One or the other has to give. If you want the size then the weight goes up to 9 tonnes like the newer Mainship 34T which isn't a 15 kt cruising boat, more like 12 kts.
If you can live with less size then the Albin 32, MS Pilot 34, etc can cruise at 15 kts on a single 300+ hp engine.

The description indicates the 110 hp Yanmar as a "base" engine. I "assume" by that a larger engine is available that would reach the speed hump you desire at the co$t of fuel efficiency. I have seen the center cockpit design before and must admit that it is growing on me.
...
New boaters must get some shock when they're told a 34' trawler does 1.5mpg at 15 kts when they were thinking 15mpg would be bad! ...
Misinformation if not downright lies. Try six knots.
Tut tut tut, none of you mentioned the Great Lakes 33'

Regarding the graph above, and to keep the fuel consumption figures in proportion with 'real world use', I feel I must post this comment from a real Nelson owner.......
Some people don't have all day.
If I was happy at six K I would have kept my sail boat that powered at 7.5k with 75 Hp engine at< 1/2 throttle on a drop of fuel and sailed at 8+K burning no fuel and the ride was very good and capable of all waters and all oceans. Never even thought about the need for stabilizers with that boat. But sometimes I just need the speed.
For better or worse the trawler concept has navigated in to muddy waters. We are all aware of the haziness of the definition of trawler and more and more boats on this site and more boats defined and sold as trawlers are SD and the six and seven Knot limitation is getting rare and 10+k becoming closer to the norm. Because there is no clear cut definition of a trawler the significantly more numerous SD and planning hulls will if not already represent a majority of boats designated trawler. Just for the record my boat is not a trawler not even close and I would never try to pass it as one. Most boat sale personnel know speed sells boats (cars and airplanes) and even a few knots counts. This is why so many boats are sold over propped and set up for light boat which becomes unrealistic when a owner takes delivery and starts loading it up. I have owned many slow boats and presently own a 5.5k boat and have on order a 5K boat. When I match the boat to my use pattern the slow speed is not a problem, but when I go where the extra knots make a difference than the faster boat is a better match. Some times a boat with a wide speed range fits my use pattern best and that is what I had in mind with Moon River happy at 7k or 18k or anything in-between. Yes there is a price to pay for that flexibility in the cost of the boat and the fuel when the speed goes up. My slow boats past and present are and were wonderful but limited in the flexibility department. I think this type of thinking is behind the increasing popularity of the faster SD trawlers. It's not all about inpatients to get there it's also about the flexibility.No doubt or questioning, some people "need the speed." Not consistent with the trawler concept, but whatever gives joy.
