Most so-called "trawler" boats have twin engines, capable of surpassing hull speed. So, that's what is most available. Still, high speeds equal high fuel consumption. Too me, the quintessential trawler has a single engine and is not capable of exceeding hull speed, cruising consuming less than two gallons of fuel per hour.. Most people want a fast cruiser, not a trawler.
