Converting commercial trawlers
Cap'n Ric wrote: 72' LOA with a 20' beam that draws about 7'. Where are you going to dock it? That'll take a mighty big and expensive slip with at least 8' of MLW water all the way in. You got 8 kids? Do you really need 72 feet of boat? I think you are probably looking at closer to $200,000 for a "complete" liveaboard refit. Do you know how to maintain this boat's systems? Didn't think so. Add another $10,000 a year for maintainence. How about insurance? Do you have a 100 Ton Masters License? Didn't think so. You'll also need one of those to operate this vessle in the US. How many shrimpers do you think are licenced Captains?
