Hi, I'm Ray Harlow. I've owned four trawlers over thirty years. I've made expensive mistakes, hired the wrong yards, missed things on surveys, and learned most of what I know by paying for it. On this channel I share what I've picked up along the way, how trawlers actually work, what they actually cost, and how to avoid the mistakes that catch most first-time owners off guard. You'll find videos on buying, engines, maintenance, living aboard, working with yards, and the real numbers behind trawler ownership that brokers don't usually bring up. New videos uploaded regularly. Subscribe if you want the honest version of trawler life.
