Bruce,
We looked at a bunch of them before we bought AKAMA (Krogen 48 Whaleback).
There is something about the Defever 49 that we like. But, it is no
passagemaker. IMHO it is a very serious coastal cruiser though. Most of
the boats we saw had a range of about 800 miles or so. It's a hard chined
boat and the roll is a bit snappy, compared to a Krogen or a
Nordhavn...although the Nord 46 can be a bit snappy too, especially with
full tanks.

Subject: TWL: DEVEFER 49 Pilothouse
Good evening,
Does anyone have any information about Defever 49 Pilothouse trawlers?
How are they as sea boats? Range? Are they good long range
passagemakers?
Thanks.
