Been reading the forum for some time and finally joined. I'm looking for information on cruising the inside passage. From what kind of trawler would work good (40 to 60k range). Just my wife, me and one 13 yo son. And of course the dog and my sons let rabbit. I spent 10 years cruising SE Alaska in 40 foot Bayliner and flying around in my 182. But I have never been thru the inside passage and I want to share it with my son.
What size of boat would be good. I like simple, slow and basic. I have a year to prepare and want to purchase now so we can get familiar with it and outfit it for our needs before we go. Any words of wisdom from those that have been? It's been 15 years since I have captained a large boat. But I have been brushing up on navigation and have been reading books on the passage. I want to be safe and a boat that is safe and reliable. So any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you!
