Its not a big boat ? I think its about the same like my sea cruiser . Its 10.70meter long Wide about 3.40meter. I'm 1.86 high and i do not Touch the roof . So i can walk in de boat . Reason i ask is the camera u use. Its a fish eye lens so it looks bigger.

[@13a5h]

We rented a Nordic 32' in Juneau with another couple about 30 years ago. Ten days cruise through SE Alaska; Tracy Arm to Glacier Bay and back to Juneau...Eagle, Bears, and Whales, Oh My! Absolutely the best vacation we've ever had! The boat (Little Vixen) was perfect for four people and the John Deere main was solid and thrifty.

I love these boats. Been looking at them for years. Made in the USA

[@tomickes409]

'Made in USA' Is it though ? Washington is a blue state. Is that REALLY the USA ?

I absolutely love the tug trawler style of boats. "Dock trophy". 🤣 Damn the head is a lot bigger than I thought it would be.😲

[@CharlotteHarborFisherman]

Sad but true most boats are dock trophies

[@freddobbs4437]

My wife wished I didnt see your video cause it has got me thinking about a trip down to see my brother and family in Clearwater and ask him to keep an eye open for something like your find!!! Yea, Im gonna do it!!

[@CharlotteHarborFisherman]

Me too let me know if she shuts you down on a good deal. A little tug or a 32-34 Grand Banks or monk will work.

[@Dethgato5060]

Hey I worked for Nordic! It's about 20 miles from me. Was there in 2019 prepandemic. I can attest every inch of that boat was made by guys/girls that know what they're doin! Beautiful boats.

[@CharlotteHarborFisherman]

Yes, I’ve always liked the Nordic tugs as well as the American tug

[@LiberaceProtege]

Dock Trophy you say? Back in the day we lovingly called them "Harbor Queens".

[@CharlotteHarborFisherman]

ill use that

[@Rubbernecker]

Beautiful little boat!

[@jenniferstewarts4851]

I love nordics, Nordic and rangers are really the only boats i'd trust in bad weather on the lakes around here. i'd NEVER want to get caught out on the lake in a big storm but for running to port these things can take the tossing around you see. Find it funny people take to the lakes thinking of them as lakes... but when a storm rolls in its as bad as the open ocean.

[@frankconley6321]

Great Lakes? If so, yeah I've sailed those many times.

Yeah I think about selling everrything and moving onto a Nordic tug 32. The 26 is a possibility since it's just me and my little dog but want enough space for my ebike so if I anchor out can row ashore and use the ebike to get to a store.

[@ashleighelizabeth5916]

I've always been impressed by Nordic Tug but they are easily some of the most expensive boats on the market for their size and type. They are in the rarified company of Kadey-Krogen and Nordhaven trawlers. They are EXTREMELY well built and tough motor cruisers but they come at a premium cost.

[@CharlotteHarborFisherman]

These are very popular here in Washington State. Very seaworthy and dry perfect for our weather. Being able to boat during fall winter and spring makes the Nordic the perfect choice.

[@pspblows99]

the minnow? do you do three hour tours?

[@KlingonCaptain]

S.S? You don't see too many Steam Screw vessels these days. 🤪 No wonder the professor couldn't fix it. He didn't have a proper forge to repair the boilers. I spent my childhood in the 80s and early 90s in Florida. I watched a lot of "Gilligan's Island" 🏝 which was filmed in Florida. If I had this boat, there's no way I wouldn't be offering three hour tours to friends and family every chance I got.

Used to be in Washington. not sure now though. A lot of trawlers are built in Taiwan. I have an American tug 43 walkthrough coming soon.

[@ashleighelizabeth5916]

Nope they are still made in Burlington Washington. That accounts for a lot of the premium in price on them.

Haha, tug life. Love that.

[@captainrosie6738]

Im interested to know why you think American tugs are nicer than Nordics.

[@CharlotteHarborFisherman]

At least from a Detailing point of view, I’ve detailed both and the Nordic tug gel coat is horrible. Extremely chalky and the window frame paint on the Nordic has worn off years ago on this specific boat. I also have been detailing an American tug. Who’s owner is quite meticulous, but the boat is mint and just being on them both the American tug seems much nicer. I will be doing a walk-through on that American tug with the owner in an upcoming video. .
