In the late ’70s Heritage Yachts built a small number of “West Indian36″ Trawlers. I’m thinking the boat was ahead of its time. Designed by Charley Morgan the boat had many nice attributes: shoal draft, single engine, two staterooms (large vberth, slide out double in the 2nd), an enclosed head, large flybridge, a good size salon with side door, helm, galley, L-settee and chairs. The flybridge extends over the cockpit area covering the sterndec and easily enclosed as well. The layout makes for a lot of boat in a fairly small footprint. With a small diesel, the boat’s got good range and fuel efficiency at trawler speed. On top of everything else – a pretty good look too.
