New to the forum, new to retirement, some experience with small boats and having an ongoing fantasy about doing some serious boating. Considering a trailerable trawler, 26 - 29 ft. I have a place on the Gulf in Florida so would be using it for coastal cruising but also love the upper Mississippi River, near where I currently live. Wife and I would like to be able to spend some time, mostly a few days at a time on board exploring Fla Nature Coast, coastal US cities, major rivers. Maybe an ocassional trip to the Bahamas from the Tampa area.
Looking for good gas economy, creature comforts and safe boating. Hoping to find something in the 50k price range.
Thinking Albin, Ranger, but finding it difficult to get any advice.
All you wise mariners feel free to throw in your 2 cents.
