Hello . We would be interested in speaking with any other trawler folks who have converted a fishing vessel into a cruising trawler. We are particularly keen to know if there are any other steel Dutch beam trawlers out there that have been transformed, at least in duty. Thank you! Peace and kind regards, Capt.
