I've come to realise that I'm not a slow boat to China type - 7 knots just doesn't do it for me. Hell, I can walk faster than that. So for me, it's fairly simple. 32-36' express type with outboards. Based on my experience with a 32' Contender Fisharound (twin ETECS and prior to that, a Contender 32' CC with twin FICHTS), I can get the speed I want with more than acceptable fuel efficiency and still have some room for weekending or even cruising if so inclined. I realise to each their own - trawlers just don't do it for me. I've run inlets where a 7 knot trawler wouldn't be able to get in or out until the tide shifted. *Cruising* at 7 knots? Why not just buy a row boat? All the good Viking oarsmen have unionized. |
