    and they are all built in China or Taiwan. Names such as CHB 34 that cost $200,000 , Eagle 40' cost $300,000, or North Pacific pilothouse 42 cost $309,000 Would anyone of you consider buying a cheap NEW vessel instead of a pre-owned one which may be bigger for the same amount of money or less?

    By the way, trawler with semi-planing hull is not as seaworthy as full displacement hull, is it?

    Way too many factors to consider for a simple answer. You may get a good discussion going if you cite some specific deals you have found. Along with detail on your expected use. Meanwhile, here is another thread that kicks some of this stuff around - Trawlers versus cruisers and sleek yachts
