re: Any sportfishing boat or trawler yacht owners?

A big center console plus the cost of a camp is about the same as owning a sportfisher or trawler. My wife wants something she can move when there is a hurricane. Or maybe that's just the excuse she's using to pitch her big boat idea.
I already have mooring worked out so that's a non issue.
The only people I know that own these things couldn't tell me the first thing about their boat other than what tournaments they fish. I was hoping someone here would own one or at least have experience operating one.

I fool with them occasionally.
The problems are endless as well as the money it takes to remedy them. It can't be said enough that the cost of ownership is massive. It's one of those "if you have to ask, you shouldn't buy it" things.
For instance, main engines and gears will probably run you around $50k each depending on the size of the boat. A generator will be around $10k, electronics will be limitless, they typically hold about 650 gallons of diesel... The expenses never end. You've got to be able to write big checks.
A big center console will be much more affordable and versatile. If you've got the money though, a big sportfish yacht is the ultimate man cave.

What exactly do you want to know?
What size boat are you looking for, what brand and what year models?
