Thanks for taking a look and the question Mike. Th black water tank holds 140 gals. Grey water is 100, then automatically pumps out underwater via the dump chest.

Thank you for taking a look and the nice comment.

Thank you for the nice compliment on Northern Marine. We feel the same as you. One might say they're "overbuilt" - they don't even creak or groan in heavy seas! The builder once told me that every component had to add to the structural integrity of the boat - most joints are both mechanically and chemically bonded. I've seen this first hand! Appreciate your view and comment.

Thank you.

Thanks for taking a look and the nice comment. I'd love to answer your question, but we haven't had a "typical year" yet! Insurance and dockage is easy as they're relatively predictable (25k), but fuel, maintenance, and upgrades are huge variables. I've heard it said that one needs to budget 10% of the boat's value for maintenance and operating costs....and that could be true, but totally dependent on many variables - whether you leave the boat in the slip and perform little to no maintenance, or actively cruise and keep performing upgrades. As a boat ages, it's value may decrease but the maintenance and upgrade costs increase.

Thank you for the nice comment. We are very happy with this Northern Marine...it has treated us well in so many ways.

Thanks for taking a look, Paul, and passing along the kind words.

Thanks. It’s an Ultra 220 lb. with 400’ of 3/8 HT chain and another 250’ of 3/4” line. It lets us sleep well as we never worry about dragging.

I know them very well, it s the best anchor setup that you can buy.. Not cheap, but security costs money and it s worth every penny esp when you have family on board...

Thanks Joseph. Every boat’s a compromise in some way. And for most of us, $$$ is a huge limiting factor! Would love to know what else is on your list…

Thanks for the kind words, Wayne.

Thank you....great to have you aboard!

Great question Jay! It's around 19' with the mast down but depending on the amount of fuel & water on board, that can change by a couple inches. 3,000+ gallons of fuel & water have an impact on the air draft. But it should still fit under the bridge in Chicago, so the Great Loop is on the Bucket List!

@@northernmarineadventures6630 that's exactly why I asked. Was wondering if it is now great loop capable. Great boat, enjoy!

Thank you Stan. Appreciate your feedback.

Thanks for the question. I didn't dive into a lot of detail in this quick walkthrough, but the boat is stabilized with ABT-TRAC stabilizers which work very well. We've travelled in the company of other boaters who "had their seat belts on" while we walked around with our coffee cups in hand! And when cornering, the boat doesn't lean either. There's around 15,000 lbs. of ballast centered down low in addition to stabilization so that helps to keep us on an even keel.

@@northernmarineadventures6630 .....Thanks for the reply. I kind of figured that it does have them, but maybe I just missed it. Thanks again.

Thank you

It makes docking so easy. And even helps to back up to a crab pot float!!!

You're welcome, John. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Thank you Carl.

Thanks for the kind words Darryl. Hope you realize your dream. Northern Marine & Nordhavn's are both very nice, and some fortunate owners find a way to make a good purchase.

Thank you. Northern Marine packed a lot into a seaworthy 57' hull.

You're welcome....glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you Justin.

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you John.

John, we made a few changes to the boat...here's a quick video taken before we left on our trip to Alaska this summer; kzbin.info/www/bejne/maaYh2CIfs94rqs

Hello Michael. You did spot a StarLink Antenna 25' on the main mast, so you've got a sharp eye! It's the in-motion antenna, and is working better than we could have imagined. The other 2 are Cell and WiFi which feed into a router that takes all this data into the boat, sorts it out, and allows us to choose the best option - which is usually StarLink! Thanks for checking it out!

Thank you!

Thank You, Robin. We feel very blessed to be able to enjoy this part of God's Creation.

Why would you say that?

Thanks Tom. Appreciate your review and comment.

Thank you for stopping by Driver 5, and thanks for the well wishes!

Thanks Sarah.

Hello Rick. Thanks for watching. The boat's a Northern Marine, a custom Trawler builder in Anacortes, WA. This is their smallest model at 57 feet. It's full displacement with lots of ballast deep in the keel to make it very seaworthy. Fully fueled, it weighs in at 70 tons. Glad to hear you have an interest in seeing more of the interior - will keep that in mind.

Thanks for watching. Here's the beginning of our Alaska 2023 adventure. Thanks for enduring my amateurish videos....I'm investing in editing software and hope to come up the learning curve quickly. Appreciate your interest AllanKatie.

It sure is! Which 57 do you own?

Thank you for taking a look and the nice comment!
