T&T: Gulfstar Trawlers and Dave Pasco

[Adam Trachtenberg]

I know nothing about the boats, but as someone quoted Pascoe in support
of them I think I should mention what he said about them in his book,
"Mid Size Power Boats":

"Gulfstar

This long defunct company started up in St. Petersburg, Florida in 1971
and produced a very large number of sailboats and low price round bilge
trawlers from 36 to 53 feet.  Unfortunately, their hulls were fraught
with problems, often of a serious nature.  Since I know these boats
well, I can say that I know of no rhyme or reason why some go bad and
others don't.  Large numbers of them have deteriorated to the point of
no return.  At this point in time, I wouldn't suggest these boats as a
viable option to all but the most desperate to own a larger boat.
Caveat emptor."
