- 1997 4800 Navigator
In our search for our first trawler we have started to narrow down our selection. Here is the current contender list,
30 Californian LRC
Camano
32 IG Sedan
33 Navigator
All have diesels, all have the appropriate hours. From our perspective each will serve our family. Our needs are very modest as we are stepping up from a 22' C-dory with no pressurized water, no built in toilet, etc. A family of three, two adults and one four year old.
The Navigator is a Jules built boat which was the same as the Californian. However best my research has turned up it is not a cored boat. The IG has the lowest HP rating of all three, followed by the Californian, then Camano, and finally the Navigator having 400 HP.
If anyone has direct experience and would like to weigh in. We are looking for a well built boat and something the family can continue to grow with.
Thanks for all your suggestions and feedback.
