Nothing and everything. Art DeFever says all of these "trawlers" are motor yachts. A trawler is a commercial fishing vessel. It's all about the boat not the terms. There are no terms police in this spectrum.
Grand Banks, who most of us would consider a trawler, had a model they called a motoryacht.

I suspect the only way that my boat would turn into a yacht would be in a court if my wife divorces me and her lawyer finds out I own a boat.
American Marine (Grand Banks) itself did not consider their boats to be trawlers. Their official term for their boats is Diesel Cruiser and for ages their company slogan was "Dependable Diesel Cruisers."
"Toy boats" is another applicable and accurate term. ...
