[@jasonissel217]

I am speechless that is one of the nicest trawlers I have seen yet. I loved the freezer and the bathtub. I loved the flybridge. The cabins were amazing, and the galley was great. Nothing says trawler buy a Nordhavn, but the only gripe I could think of...I'm not even going to look at the price because I will probably start crying.

One of the better buys out there even if it needs a lot of deferred maintenance. Lots of aging systems but asking 1.1 is a fair starting price. Good move up boat for those in the +/- 40’ range and knowledgeable about what systems are important to upgrade and willing to do the long hour overhauls. Good presentation.

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

STI: Thank you for your comment. I was just aboard her today and I really don’t think there is any deferred maintenance. Time and age are natural and you can always do a refresh, but she is ready to take off in the morning.

Nice to see an individual with enthusiasm about his craft even after doing it for a number of years. Nice walkthrough Jeff. Does this 55 have Trac Stabilizers? It’s over double the money I’m considering. I’m just curious.

[@blackal53]

You know your stuff with trawler/expedition boats, especially the mechanicals and design features. Good feature that you have a location schematic alongside your narrative. Only one criticism - Slow down a bit. If your vids run a few minutes longer - doesn't matter.

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Blackal53: Thank you for your observation. My brain does not work at trawler speeds - I think too fast, I talk too fast and it is hard for me to say everything I want if I change my normal cadence. This is free form, ad lib and I try to say enough for people to understand some of what is going on. They have gotten longer, I agree, that doesn't seem to matter much, people drop out if they lose interest but many do go all the way to the end.

[@waynesilva3129]

For a production boat. There is no way you can go wrong with a Nordhavn.

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Wayne: You are correct.

[@cber5077]

This is exactly the boat I want, but alas I don’t have a spare $1m to buy it nor the additional $1m to live on it (provisioning, petrol, maintenance, etc.). But a man can dream

[@abouttime5000]

Not to worry, even if you had the money to buy it the real expenses begin with the operating costs. Fuel, food, repairs, ,maintenance, insurance, crew, docking and berthing fees, lock fees, WINE....... could go on.

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

C Ber: After purchasing, I am certain you can do this for a lot less than your estimates to live on.

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

About Time: Costs of ownership should be understood before acquiring. You have identified many of the larger expenses.

[@wellcraft19]

Spectacular vessel (as should be expected). Amazing the extra size compared to the 52.

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

[@michiganengineer8621]

Looking at the bow wave when you had the underway shots it _almost_ looks like one of the previous owners added a bulb bow, do you know if that was done?

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

John: No bulbous bow on any of the Nordhavn 55's. It could be done, isn't necessary on this design and is a topic a lot of people have an opinion on.

Jeff, nice looking trawler, as a long time boat owner I am curious which brands other than Nordhavn are the most well known, which will sell the quickest.?

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

[@howardtravels]

Has the main engine been overhauled or replaced, looks like it would be time to do that???

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Howard: No, original with some components changed out over time. With proper care, Lugger engines will run for tens of thousands of hours, this one is broken in and doing just fine.

[@allaboutyachting]

A very nice boat. What went wrong with the anchor chain? Rust, or painted with prop one?

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

All about: Not sure what you are seeing. The anchor chain will rust over time, but it still has the required holding strength. You can end for end, clean and galvanize or buy new if you want it to look better

[@allaboutyachting]

@@JeffMerrillYachts I was wondering if it's rusty, or if it has been painted with prop one, which has almost the same color.

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

@@allaboutyachting All About: I’m going to guess that it is rust, not familiar with prop one. I guess I’d rather buy an active boat with a little wear and tear and some natural rust than a pampered boat that has never traveled, you don’t know what has been kept active if the boat is idle.

[@keithprichard516]

How can you leave off engines on your spec page?

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Keith: The engine models, horsepower and hours are detailed in the downloadable brochure, perhaps you were looking elsewhere?

[@ianmangham4570]

The fuel bill must be ASTRONOMICAL when cruising the world at 7 knots 🤣

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Ian: Yes, that would be expensive, but most long rangers cruise at 7 - 8 knots for a big trip.

[@sparkyguitar0058]

I hope you're trolling. With 1 engine barely pushing this probably gets pretty good mileage. Now some of these with 2 engines, faster speed, more weight you might have a point.

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Ted P: You wouldn't need to.

[@MrMediterrano]

For me the choice would be between NH55 and NH56 (or Shannon 53 HPS). More space & roll stability (NH55) vs less space & fuel economy & lower maintenance costs due to single engine and having no active fins (NH56) and less space & fuel economy & higher speeds (Shannon 53 HPS)

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Mediterrano: You say NH 56, but that is the motorsailer, do you mean NH57? I don't think there are very many Shannon's out there, but they build a pretty boat. Thanks for watching.

[@MrMediterrano]

@@JeffMerrillYachts yes, I really mean NH56. I prefer motorsailers due to quiet cruising, having sails as a backup propulsion and for fuel economy. NH56 is really nice but if I can find (and can afford it too) I would prefer a twin-engine motor-sailer. 2nd preference are trawlers. 3rd preference are fuel-efficient semi-displacement hull coastal cruisers like e.g. NH59 CP or Beneteau Swift Trawler of similar size.

@@davidwmcgee I'm referring to the liklyhood of rolling all the way over.

@@TechnikMeister2 Nah, very unlikely to roll over but some of these Nordhavns are for sure rolling puke buckets without excellent stabilization. They can handle big seas, even 20’, but most people avoid passage with conditions like that.
