As a confirmed old school sail guy I have advocated a specific
"trawler" type to all. its really a buy of a llife time opportuity.

Do a Google search for ship brokers and look at the "gulf shrimper"
vessels. I defy you to compare the following numbers for a MOTOR BOAT:

1997 to about 2000
Steel
75' x 22' x 12' of course may vary up to 85' x 24'x 13'
Single 540 HP Cat.... 3412 rated at 100% continous HD.... Industry
standard.
20 GPH
Got problems???? Just go to any real boat yard that works on real work
boats, not "yachts" and get a fair deal for fair work.

Now get this........................... $100,000 to about $120,000

Why on earth would anyone buy some fiberglass, candy ass, yacht when
yas can get a real boat for 1/5 the price????!?!?!

Umm, because I prefer to cruise with 5 people instead of 10 tons of
shrimp and ice? (Although the hold could carry a lot of cold beer!)

Hulls and motors are only a fraction of the price of yacht these
days.

Yea the Big Screen HD LCD/Tv and Tracking DirectTv Antenna really
add up when figuring the costs of a Plastic Boat.......
