Hi Folks,
Dmooch here...new to the trawler world. My wife and I are heading to NC for a weeks training and them will be looking to purchase our used trawler.
I've been drooling over all the beauties on yachworld and keep coming back to boats with the Volvo 435 IPS drives. Have they been around long enough that most of the marinas could service them? Or would you suggest that we look more seriously toward the twin diesel? Any advice for a rookie?
We hope to be crusing in the NY area, ICW and(if we're brave enough) to the Islands!
We are also looking at Mainships 43', Island Pilots, and Beneteau 42'.
We have 5 kids and 8 grand babies that expect to join us from time to time...so we'll need the space!
I'm sure we'll have lots of other questions...thank for your patience!
