Trawler (boat)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trawler boats are a kind of powerboat and are so named because they look similar to a commercial fishing trawler. Like a commercial fishing vessel, a cruising trawler has a displacement hull and the pilothouse is raised. The engine and mechanical room is under the main cabin and can be quite large. Usually trawler boats have a single engine and lots of fuel capacity. The general design of trawlers is quite seaworthy.
Combined with the efficiency of a displacement hull, trawlers generally can go far before needing to be refueled and can be home for between 2 to 8 persons for many days and can be a permanent home.
The size of a trawler ranges from 30 feet to 70 feet.
