Steel trawler.


There's an interesting one a few slips down from me. A little small and
old, but it *is* all steel, including the decks and superstructure.

There's also a big (like 65'-70') classic trawler here that really is
something to see.
It was formerly owned by Jimmy Buffett.

It's too dark to take pictures right now .... besides the Sox game is about
to start ....
but I'll take a couple of cell phone pics tomorrow.

If you really are going to explore the world, and not just the coastal
areas, I think a steel hulled boat is what you want. The problem with
most of the larger displacement boats though, is that they really draw a
lot of water.

When I first got into boating on the Bay, in the 1970s, I had an S2 9.2
sailboat, a 30-footer. More of a cruiser than a racer, but it sailed
nicely. Damned thing drew 5' of water, though, and this was a real
annoyance in the Bay along the edges...and you can find the edges a mile
offshore in many places.

I always thought the '70 ft. Elco or Higgins hulls were "spiffy"
