I personally think you should get a really nice trawler (maybe a GB
49) and go up and down the east coast looking for the best fish
restaurants and then publish a cruising book covering your adventures.
You will then be able to recoup all of your expenses for the boat and
trip.

Then repeat for the west coast.

You mean like this?

Or, maybe this?

(you gotta be nuts to spend this much moola on a boat, regardless of how
nice it might be)

Nice looking boat, I love the eastbay design, but if you are going to
cruise the east coast looking for the best restuarants, you need to get a
trawler, and not an express cruiser.

If the get the GB 49 Trawler, you could use the Parker 23 as your dingy.





Are they really trawlers, with their semi-displacement hulls?


Some call the GB hull a semi-displacement type and others call it a
semi-planing type.
According to David Pascoe it is neither.

That said, few GB's are sufficiently powered to plane. Any hull type not on
plane is a displacement hull.
