For my 48’ trawler. A boat that can take four adults and some gear ashore in all types of weather, or for the grandkids to play with?

We can build the boat at 14’ or 16’ with the same beam. Keeping the accessories to a minimum and using a 50HP motor would probably bring the weight down to only slightly heavier than an inflatable. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
