i've been looking at trawlers for about 7 months now. I've been on about 25 so far. Some like nordhaven are built like tanks. I really don't mind the slow speed, in fact I think I prefer it. It's a whole different kind of boating than my 280 so i'm trying to wrap my head around it. I like taking little weekend trips and these don't really fit that bill for me. For longer trips they would be great. There were a couple of hatteras' in my marina and they were almost never out on the weekends. The people just stayed in the marina, then they would leave for a month trip. Seems like that's the kind of boating they're made for. Don't know if I can give up the weekend runs just yet.
