Here are some comments from Motor Boating and Sailing about the Sabreline 36 Fast Trawler...

....."Three things about the 36 immediately stand out. Firstly, there's the significant extra privacy provided by having the two sleeping cabins at opposite ends of the boat. And the views from the saloon are very clearly an advantage that trawler yachts have over other breeds of powerboat, and something that enhances safety as well as appreciation of the scenery. Finally, every aspect of the deck's operation is good: effortless boarding, safety and security, and ease and Speed of movement around the boat. Major plus points include the well-behaved handling, the high-volume engine room, and the amazingly heavy construction. But there's also a string of smaller details designed to make life easier on board: the easy access drawers under the seats and berths for instance, and the labelling on all the plumbing....."
