Hello,
We have some family members considering a 38' Trawler built in the early 80s.
I know a few of you guys have Trawlers and would like to ask for some advice. Is there anyway to charter a like sized boat to test prior to buying one? We're being offered a sea trial as the final contingency of sale.
Are there rentals of boats of this size in the Dana Point/Newport area?
Lastly , are they worth it? Dual diesels with over 1000 hours on them. Are these boats that will take more of your life in repair and maintenance than in cruising and enjoying?
Thanks for any advise given
