I don’t think you understand why a person would buy a trawler. Serious trawler buyers are looking to go long distances efficiently. Many come from sail boats and are fine making 7-9 knots towards their waypoints.
You should probably stick to selling go fast boats for people who only go out for the day or a couple of hours.

You make some valid points for nubies. Another important consideration is trying to take a trawler up a river. Under certain conditions, a large river can flow a a velocity greater than a trawler is able to may way against. As a former US Aux Coastie, we have seen trawlers actually pushed backwards by sudden river floods and dashed against the riverbank or severely grounded. Trawlers are excellent vessels but the lack of speed can be serious against fast flowing tides. They can also require expert handing in following seas to avoid being pushed sideways and swamped. They are serious vessels that require serious seamanship. The inability to outrun an approaching storm is to be seriously considered. I am sure I don't have to tell any mariner the folly of relying on weather forecasts.

In my book, 7-9 knots makes you a speed demon. If you are in a hurry, just fly or drive. At 20 knots, i have a range of 125 miles. At 5 knots i can go 1600 miles in my trawler.

[wkearney]

So if you operate a boat and don't take into account travel time, or keep a decent watch for other vessels.. just get a faster one? That's pretty stupid advice.

[PhilbyFavourites]

The story about the wake is just scare mongering.

If you’re night running and rigged for sea then it will roll the vessel, but no more. I drive boats fir a living in The Solent and we go from eBay £800 powerboats of uncertain quality (and skippers’ skill) to Supertankers, 65, 000 tonne Aircraft Carriers up to the Queen Mary 2. None of their wakes will ‘damage” a vessel. And SPEED will not get you out of trouble. Only skill and planning will do that....

The 3 cautions: don't buy a slow boat, don't buy a slow boat, don't buy a slow boat, why buy a trawler? what is the point of the video? ahh don't buy a slow boat

[clifbradley]

A trawler is designed to go virtually anywhere and even a smaller one about 61 feet like the Ocean lass by Greenline or even the 50 foot Fleming and Nordhavn Yachts can handle that wake from a cruise ship, or anything else. Most of them are small yet carry a category A rating. Whereas a Sanlorenzo SD122, a Mangusta 140, AB 125 or some of these other faster yachts are rated for offshore use only. So you spend a bunch of money on a yacht that is limited to 50 miles offshore. But it can go really fast...woo-hoo. Yeah. You miss the point on why a trawler yacht is so popular and why expedition yachts are the hottest thing on the market right now amd places like Numarine, Alia, Alpha, CmD and Ava are all booked up for build slots. People want to go places where assholes like you in your flashy speedboat aren't. Acting like frat boys on a drunken Binger all night and zipping up and down to St.Tropez and Ibiza. Yeah it might take a while to get there, but at least we can get there and best of all, idiots like you aren't there cause your boat can't make it. 'AHHHHN cwuise sip wake scawed da person on da boat. Hahaha. Don't get twaller yacht. Get bigga fasta boat.'

reading comments on the internet is like listening to salesmen.. mostly BS and always steer you in the direction THEY want YOU to look.. excellent points.. Hope folks listen

I have about 30, 000 miles under the keel and this kid has never been to sea.

[johnwaters]

Lived on a trawler for 16 years. The man is right, slow, long days, like watching paint dry. Doesn't matter if you have developed a migraine, or something else, a long slow slog, to the next stop. Doesn't have to be on plane, but 12 knots, is really nice, to catch a bridge, or end the day at a better time.

[Ron_the_Skeptic]

I've been on cruise ships and observed their wake. I'm having trouble believing even a tiny 40 foot trawler which can handle 15 to 20 foot waves on the open ocean would have any difficulty with the wake from a cruise ship. You wouldn't want to collide with a cruise ship, but it's wake is irrelevant.

[patrickhenry]

This sounds like don't buy a trawler if you are a newb advise to me. This was the most simplistic advise ever. I was expecting a dissertation about full displacement versus planed hull design, fuel use differentials etc... What I got was one antidote about an unqualified watch stander panicking about one of the most common encounters in the Bahamas or Virgin Island areas (The Virgin passage at night between Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands is one long line of cruise ships anchoring out to time their port entry time in the morning or steaming through the channel one after the other all night long) and a platitude about staying ahead of the weather. Yes it can be nice to avoid bad weather but never count on it for an open ocean transit. Plan for the worst and tie down everything prior to leaving port.

I read the comments before seeing the video.
Had no idea there were so many hardcore trawler.. enthusiasts !

[ronniepaulinc]

No one buys a trawler for day trips to Bimini! You buy a Trawler to spend 2 weeks on the hook at all the keys! With a single tank of fuel! Try that in your center console! If you must get to the Bahamas fast, buy a Hysucat as a pull behind Tender and book a Captain to transport your Trawler while you take you family in the Hysucat in about 50 minutes! Spend the day shopping and dinning and meet him as he ports!

[frankrice]

You dodge weather the same as a sail boat 8 knots is a long ways in 24 hour

[frankiegregoriou]

This guy is a genius, if you want to cruise next to a big cruiser get a fast boat, the advice of the century 🤣😂🤣

[inspiredone]

Don’t buy THOSE (because I don’t sell them) Buy THESE (because I do). The immortal words of Joey B pop to mind: “Come on Man - Gimme a Break”

[browsman]

I was in the U.S. Navy going 25-30 knots on a 600 ft. cruiser, I don't need that anymore, 7-8 knots cruising speed is fine for me. And there's no way I'm going to miss a cruise ship bearing down on me, I'll see it 15 miles away. One time in the Navy I had bridge duty as a phone talker. A huge container ship was on the horizon, radar said the CPA (closest point of approach) was the Chief's mess, in other words it's going to hit us if nobody gives way. The Ensign on duty was green and he couldn't figure out who had right of way, he had several rule books out flipping through the pages trying to figure it out and I'm looking at the container ship getting closer and closer getting ready to abandon ship expecting a collision and finally about 1/4 mile away the container ship gives way. That's pretty close for two big ships in the middle of the ocean.

[willloe]

This guy doesn't have any trawlers to sell.

[cprolland]

the speed i thought you would talk about the hull, the hours on the engine, when the boat had it s last refit.... etc ...the important things one should worry.
