30'-40' Catamaran Trawlers

[Epiphany]

I have cruised in the Keys and Bahamas with my 32' Gemini sailcat for almost 5 years. Bad knees and a desire for a little more speed have led me to want to change to a power boat. I love the stability, shallow draft and room of catamarans. The PDQ Passagemakers (32-34') have caught my eye but they are at the top ( $170-220K) of my price range. I have also seen a couple Kit-Cats in the past that seemed interesting. Anyone have thoughts on the PDQs and/or KitCats and suggestions of other options.

Have you considered an Endeavour 36 Trawlercat? 3 roomy cabins" sweet twin 125 Yanmar Turbo Diesels, AC. HEAT GEN fits UNDER most ICW bridges and 2'10" draft.
Ours is for sale, it's in Florida and very negotiable. Engine hrs less than 1000, vessel is in excellent condition, listing at 179K but as mentioned, open to offers.

Felix11: I just sold my Gemini. I am considering the Endeavour Trawlercat 36. Where is your boat located?

[felix11]

Stuart area but it's in storage (has been since March) so not in show condition. We'll be back and in a position to show it in 3 to 4 weeks.

thanks

I have switched from sail to power and am also looking for a new boat. Once I honestly defined how I planned to use the boat the search became easier. Like you, I wanted more speed. I have also decided that I don’t need much in the accommodation area. What I save with a cheap boat can pay for a resort stay now and then.
Good luck with your search and keep us updated - there are people out here

I'm looking for this kind of boat.
Could it navigate in Bahamas?

No idea if they fit the budget - but one of these looks pretty fun
