re: Any sportfishing boat or trawler yacht owners?

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.
