| a lesser Downeast lobster boat Am looking for a about a 28' Downeast style lobster boat for overnighting on the Maine coast. Love the overall look but the hull design features that enable them to safely motor into big seas or be a stable work platform at rest in swells tending a lobster trap- add to weight, price, and fuel use. Can anyone suggest some older (20 year old) FG semi-displacement models with: * less than large approx. 8" radius soft chines, like 2-3" radius * keel & skeg, but perhaps less than a massive straight, full length keel * a bottom which rises at a very small angle from midships toward the transom, for higher speed, economy and less bow-up at speed * a less rugged hull which is not designed to take maximum commercial abuse * requiring less than a huge engine to get 14 kn economical cruising, 18 kn maximum. Appreciate any comments. |
