T&T: Advice for newcomer to trawlers?

[mattingly23 at optonline.net]

Group,

I am interested in finding a small (30'-36') trawler, used -something extremely economical that I can use for weekends and occasional extended (7-14 days) cruising. I have only recently realized that I am probably looking for a trawler (I used to have small weekend/cuddy cabins in the past), and have no idea of where to start my research - I know "of" Albin, and Grand Banks, but other than that I don't know the manufacturers or their respective reputations or the real reputations of either of those, for that matter).  Anyone have a crib sheet/thoughts/direction they could give me?  Very much appreciated.

Bryan
