T&T: Trawlers vs Motor Yachts

[Ownyacht at aol.com]

Ole Dave should go to a few owner association web sites for more  information 
and maybe  contact some owners of whatever he is considering.  For example 
Nordic Tugs have several groups for regions of the country. There is  NETOA for 
the northeast and SENTOA (Southeast Nordic Tugs Owner's  Assoc.)  for the 
southeast. At _www.sentoa.org_ (http://www.sentoa.org)  he will even find some 
boats for  sale.

Hi  Dave

With a little luck and hard negotiating you should be able to get  a
well-equipped Nordic or American Tug within your budget.Top-notch  build
quality, and no exterior wood. In 2006, we bought a 40' 2001  Pacific
Trawler, the boat from which the two tug designs were drawn.  (Nordic bought
Pacific Trawler in 1996 and re-designed the interior.) All  three are
wonderful cruising boats.

Cheers, Garrett


"With  the approaching possibility of semi retirement and more time
becoming  available to enjoy cruising I've been struggling with the
Pros and Cons of  purchasing a Trawler style vs a Motor Yacht.  Anyone
want to jump in  with opinions they would be greatly appreciated.

My budget is in the  $300-400K range and I really don't want a boat
over 10 years old because I  like the amenities of the more modern
boats even though probably not  constructed as  ruggedly..."
