T&T: RE: RE: Best Trawler for the Money? (long post)

    I am wondering where the Island Gypsy Trawler would fit on the members
    list in terms of desirability - I have always considered them right up
    there with the Grand Banks in terms of quality, but at a little more
    affordable price. Am I right in my thinking? Or would members put their
    quality and desirability much lower on a scale?

    Here's some research Chris Caswell did a few years ago on Taiwan Trawler
    builders. Bottom line from my experience having owned 2 marine Traders
    is
    each one is unique because there are 9 different yards that build them.
    Quality varies by yard and the "families" that construct them.
