2021年2月25日 · Small trawler with a single diesel engine might burn about 1.5 gallons/hour running 6-7 knts so approximately four miles per gallon. UPDATE: Requesting tips for SOLO living aboard a trawler - Page 2 - Cruisers & Sailing Forums

The living space I hope will not be an issue for you - have a look and judge by yourself - but I found the new 50 foot sailing boats huge inside. The deck space is better on a trawler though - more comfortable to move about and better space to foldout some chairs and a table.

Having a boat capable of higher speeds is nice. For example, my boats top speed is 30 MPH and in 15 minutes I can go the distance that a trawler or sailboat would take one hour to accomplish. Now I don't want to go fast a lot as the fuel burn is high but to move along at 14 MPH still covers twice the ground than a trawler of sailboat going 7 MPH.

2021年3月9日 · I have a 38' trawler and live six winter months in Fort Pierce Florida. Marina is about $700. per month.

2014年2月8日 · A trawler or power cat won't be worth much if diesel hits $6 or $7/gallon. Our cat is very dry, but is completely dry with it's fully enclosed cockpit . A family can spread out in it's 12' x 16' main cockpit whether it's pouring rain or cold (as long as there's a little sun), or nice & cool with all/any panels rolled up in the Bahamas heat.

2009年11月1日 · That being said, when (if) I turn about 70 or 75 years old I may want to get a trawler as well: Push one button and anchor comes up, push another button and the boat goes from A to B: No sails to deal with, no finer points of navigating with respect to wind, weather and shallow water, just crank up the diesel and muscle through the problems.

Food and living expenses don't change. What ever you used to spend to maintain the engine on your sailboat, figure double that. Maybe even 150% more counting running gear like props and shafts and more frequent fluid changes. For a 50' trawler, I would figure about 6-8 …
