I just bought this and would like to upgrade the power from the brand new 57 hp Yanmars to something that would get me into the low 80s.
Any ideas ? Turbine or nuclear ?

10 450R's

^^^^Yup ^^^^

a couple 90 degree elbows pointing backwards on that bow thruster should get ya close... but seriously those old trawlers are so friggin cool.

I'd go electric, Tesla Trawler.. Is there room for a stripper pole on that deck ?

LOL or you could use TWO tank diesels! Be lucky to get to 8knots with that bad boy but man it would be a fun liveaboard!!!!Key West Baby!

That's a really cool trawler. I would absolutely love one of those. Give her enough motor to pull a go fast boat. Maybe 120hp Yanmar diesels?

we see a lot of those doing the great loop we call them pregnant trawlers they have a very loyal following there are a few different sizes and once in a while they will travel as a group kinda like airstream

Get her to 10kts so we can run her out past pully ridge for a few days deep dropping.

what does she weigh?
