    Jerry,

    These seem to be great boats. I really consider them Great Lakes boats,
    because they just seem to fit in nicely with the decent sized weather we
    get, and they don't have all the foo-foo stuff you might find on a
    "go-fast" and yet they can make some pretty good time.

    The most important reason for ME to like them is that my wife LOVES the
    look of them! She just delights in picturing herself on one, which greatly
    improves my chances of actually owning one.

    Even though I am still in college, we are saving (slowly) for a trawler,
    and hope to buy one in 9 years, 8 months and about 15 days. Not that I'm
    counting.

    The Nordic Tug will be high on my list to consider.

    (Just noticed you are in Wisconsin!) The Scheulers (spelling?) have a
    dealership over your way. Hopefully they will still be in business in 10
    years (and not retired). You might check them out.
    They are at http://www.trawlersmidwest.com/.

    Best regards,

    John

    Much debate on this!
