NORDIC TUG 42 - FOG DOG - [Talk Through Tour] - SOLD!

[@MontCoRealtor]

I love your videos. You explain everything so clearly and make it not only easy to understand, but you make it easy to picture owning the boat. Superior boating videos. My favorite though is the Nordhavin. That was a seriously amazing boat. I have a boat in my bucket list one day. You are doing great my friend, keep up the amazing videos.

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

John: Thank you! Your note is about the nicest comment I've received and is very appreciated. The boats I'm fortunate enough to film all have a different personality, arrangement, equipment, condition, etc. My goal is to let people know what I observe, just my opinion. As a trawler buyer, there is a lot of research and planning involved. Video is one way to learn more. All the best to you!

Might be one of the best filmed boat tours I’ve seen on KZbin. Great job guys! Beautiful tug.

Thanks for another great video tour Jeff! As the proud owner of hull #1 of the NT42 series, it is great to see all of the changes they've made over the years. To be able to actually sit up in the engine room is only a vague concept for me! Thanks again for this and all of your other amazing videos!

@S. M. Hello Tazzy! Asking price, for condition and equipment is right on, many showings, a lot of interest.

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

@S. M. OK, well sorry to make that mix up. I think I'd be quite happy visiting either one and staying for some time - love those most magical and beautiful places!

[@maplebay32]

@S. M. Hi there; I'm no expert on the market prices of Nordic Tugs but this one certainly looks to be well priced. The flybridge gives her a nice bonus and the layout is quite different from mine, which is a preference. NT's tend to hold their value so again, I would say this one is appropriately priced.

[@willhoyle752]

I like the flybridge! Nicest Nordic tug I've seen. Perfect size.

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Will: Thank you! Flybridge, two staterooms and two heads, really a good package.

[@kari53]

I see some of the complaint comments here about the review and the price of this vessel. However, please note. Although i don't know Jeff personally, he has an outstanding reputation around the world in regards to trawlers. He doesn't sell garbage. Besides, if you buy from Jeff or his group, the support after the purchase from my understanding is second to non. You are paying for not just the vessel but his expertise in the industry. I've traveled from the islands into Canada and and even in Europe, we know of Jeff. If i was purchasing a vessel, there are only 5 people I would consider purchasing from, and Jeff is in the top 5. Shop around, but don't burn your bridge with Jeff Merrill.

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Kari: Thank you. There are other same model Nordic Tug 42's asking a lot more money than Fog Dog. Anyone can say anything on a post, but they certainly don't need any qualifications to share uninformed opinions. Appreciate you standing up for me, thank you!

LOVE the detail work on the prow. The overhang on the cockpit from the boat deck is nice. Was that canvas? Nordic really squeezed a lot into this. Also, I really like how y'all use the red dot on the deck graphic to show where the camera is. I know that takes extra work, but the attention to detail says a lot about y'all.

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

[@gregroth4696]

I love Nordic Tugs. I’m interested in cruising speed and range. I didn’t hear you talk about the main engine brand and horsepower. What’s an OK hurry up speed, and what is TopSpeed. Maybe I missed it. I don’t care for about the 42 is you can’t see what’s going on the back deck while steering the vessel at least from the inside, not sure about the flybridge. Makes it difficult to talk to people fishing while staring at the same time a camera with audio may be helpful. Like I said, I love Nordic tugs and u did a really nice job touring this boat. Thanks mate! 🤗

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Greg: Thanks for your note. The video was created to show the layout, fit, finish, etc. The detailed photos and specifications are on our website, www.JMYS.com - you can look up the engine model, brand, hours, transmission, etc. We also have some speed estimates. Sightlines and visibility are extremely important and the NT42 has two good command stations. Thank you!

I assume the "fog dog"must be a twin diesel. You didn't really say anything about that. Beautiful boat. Get rid of the flybridge and it would be awesome! I wonder, if I could be a riverboat?

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Serious question. Is there any way to get this boat to cruise at a minimum of 15knts. Maybe custom tune the diesels to get more power out of them and then maybe a cpl new props with more pitch? Or will the hull only allow it to cruise at 8 knots?

Unless you've owned a large boat in saltwater there is no way to understand the maintenance required. It is absolutely endless.

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

OMR: Yes, to keep a boat ready, you have to look after her - very similar to a house, RV, plane, etc. You want to keep things clean and fresh so that your boat will remain reliable. If you don't deal with details with an ongoing schedule it will catch up with you.

[@Jim.Thunda]

Women are even worse, I'm comfortably wealthy, single and free to spend money on boats and aircraft. Guess who's laughing the loudest and longest.

[@Jim.Thunda]

That looks like an aluminium water tank. So you will need to spend at least $4K to replace it with a stainless tank.

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Jim: I am not sure, now you are raising doubt. Agree, stainless steel is best for fresh water, aluminum can be used for diesel. Until I get back aboard I'm not sure - but with all of the Nordic Tugs out there - hundreds - I'd be surprised if it is aluminum

[@Jim.Thunda]

I look forward to your reply, but I'll say here and now it may be possible that it wasn't a water tank. But if was that's a no no. But going by the look of the welding and colour, it was aluminium, if I'm mistaken I'll bare my arse in Bourke Street.

[@chriskelly6559]

Who uses a chart table nowadays? For charting I mean.

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

Chris: If you are an active cruiser and have paper charts aboard (and I believe you should) then it is very convenient to have a place to lay them out and do your plotting. In my opinion, at a minimum, paper charts should be used in an hourly lat/lon back up mode. What is your plan if your nav/com electrical fails?

I'm really not sure how you could have crawled all the way down into that engine room and not actually give any useful information. So for example you showed the generator but don't say how many kilowatts it is or how many hours is on it. You show an engine but don't say what brand it is. How much power it is, anything like that. And then you show the fuel tanks. But there's no mention of how much fuel you can carry or how much fresh water you can carry. How much black tanks you got or anything. Kind of bad review really

[@JeffMerrillYachts]

John: Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it. The video purpose is to show the layout and current condition - give you a feel for this specific boat. The You Tube description for the video does inform the reader about the engine. Our goal, if you want to learn more, is to post ALL of the important details on our website. Numbers like asking price and hours can change over time so we update them online, the video can't be adjusted once printed. For example, our online brochure shows Cummins 6CTA 8.3-M3 450 HP (~2,000 hours) and Onan generator, etc. We have found that video viewers want to see the boat and move on. Trawlers buyers want to see the boat and then study the details - photos, layouts, specifications. we also have a 360 degree tour on JMYS.com.
