Yep. I chose a power boat that was the most practical for
the type of cruising we want to do.

That's because they're dumb. Most cruisers I've ever talked
to complain about how often they had to motor (wind too
light, too strong, wrong direction), they need a bigger
fridge, they ran aground too often, had to wait for bridges,
couldn't make it to a good anchorage, batteries not holding
a charge, etc etc etc.

A trawler makes the most sense for the type of cruising we
do, so that's what we got. So far, it's been great, and
we're just getting started.
