The Most COMFORTABLE Mid-Sized Trawler I've Been Aboard [Full Tour] Learning the Lines

[@KlingonCaptain]

Trawler yachts are just so practical. If I owned one, it would just be my house.

[@nostradamus7648]

Yep, just park it offshore and avoid property taxes. Use a dinghy for groceries. Get those delivered to the pier. Travel as you like up and down the coast.

[@macnaughtamericas3200]

Wife and I toured this vessel the other day, it is in excellent condition, has Cummings engines and is priced at 360k. I suspect the boat will sell closer to 300-325k. While not for us, anyone looking for a solid mid 40 ft trawler should take a look.

Nice price for a well maintained yacht. This would make a fantastic live aboard. Thank you Jordan.

[@terrydouglas2777]

For a small boat, it would be perfect for a single guy or couple starting out if they both love the water. I like boats the best for if you want to pull anchor and move to another area you can. You buy a house on land, it's there in one place. I liked this video and think you did a good job showing it to us. Thanks for sharing.

[@luckyeagle7789]

Hey @Learning the Lines... ignore the Haters... your review was excellent and OA makes great boats... especially for the price. This pocket yacht cannot be compared to the boats the Haters mentioned at twice the price... or more. Haters will always be Haters... they just lurk around and were probably Bullys in grade school and never grew up!

[@mediamaker6828]

Great tour and I love it. Great details added in at the end. Thank you for having the clearance, draft and beam. I've seen some that miss that; if you can believe it.

[@motorv8N]

Gorgeous boat and great walk through. As much of a hassle as lack of easy exterior passage up the side decks likely is, the gain in salon width is astonishing. Would love this boat.

[@terrydouglas2777]

Thank you so much for sharing this awesome boat with us. It's a truly beautiful boat or home on the water with a different front yard every time you pull anchor and drop it or tie up at the new place you want to visit. That is why people buy boats and yachts so they can go see new places. May i suggest one very important thing to everyone who's about ready to go live their dreams and purchase or lease a boat. Get yourself a big thick paper map and draw out all the places you travel to, an mark the date and important things in a notebook to keep with the map. This way when you and your spouse are older you can easily show your family all the wonderful places and tell them about the people you got to meet all because you took the chance and went to live your dreams on your own floating house and never regretted it. Because we only live together once they say. I don't think that's correct, because i believe true love is like a really strong magnet and pulls the two people together if they are true soulmates. We are connected by an invisible force like gravity. We can't see it but knows it's there working. Share the Love and remember, Love is like glue that holds everything together in our Universe. That is so true.

[@biglar155]

Great video! A very thorough walk-through. (I had to laugh at the final drone flyover where I watched the bilge pump suck the water back up! ;)) If I could suggest anything, it would be to spend more time opening the various hatches to access the mechanical systems. I'd like to have seen the floor in the main salon pulled up to see what engine access looks like from there. (I suspect that would be the "normal" method of performing maintenance - 'cause this old guy isn't crawling in on his hands and knees.)

[@jeffwalston8110]

I would guess that water you can see being pumped overboard on the starboard side, is Air conditioning discharge not a bilge pump running.

Great boat. Great video, from the start to the walkthrough and the specs/info sheet. Subscribed!😄

[@kevinxxx8093]

The fitting above and left of the sink is a port light. the large things are windows.

[@richardwestmoreland4796]

Lol. Yes I don't think that port light does justice when describing those big beautiful windows. I really like how the main salon is designed with all those big windows. One of the few things that I would want to change is to have a bit better walkways that run along both the starboard and port sides. They wouldn't have to be the entire length of each side, just enough so that that you can safely walk along each side. They could even be something that flips out of the way. In rough seas of course you make them a no go zone if you don't want to lose one of your deckhands.

[@mwrcrft]

Nice boat with plenty of performance for a trawler ,the salon is nice and large but at the expense of being able to walk outside bow to stern while docking. The second state room is a nice feature but the cramped engine room make this boat excellent for a younger family with plenty of flexibility to get in the tighter spaces.

[@laurashackelford7122]

Thank you for giving the listing price. That is one of my complaints watching videos of tours. I’m just starting to get an idea of what’s out there. What could I afford. I see different boats and NOBODY gives asking prices. I go to the site to look up and they are SOLD. So no way to find out, even what it sold for! How does a person “shop” if you don’t know what prices are? I can look at houses AND asking prices. I know the price could change, duh. But at least I know if it’s in my range!

[@WilliamSmith-tg3wl]

For a looper, the maximum overhead clearance that limits the height of your boat above the water is 19’ 6”. This boat is 23', so it will not fit under the Chicago bridge, unless the mast folds down.

[@MrSteviethegreat]

That’s what I was thinking.

[@rtbinc2273]

There are a few places it might not make. I don't see any sign that the mast folds. Do you have to go under the Chicago bridge? I was under the impression you did not.

[@WilliamSmith-tg3wl]

@@kenttomaselli8984 "The lowest unavoidable fixed bridge on the Great Loop is currently charted at 19.6’ and is located at mile 300.6 on the Illinois River.

Considering you want to do engine checks while on your way, it would be best to not be claustrophobic in a loud and hot engine room.

If you have issues with being claustrophobic my suggestion is to probably just stay on terra firma. A boat is no place for the claustrophobic. See you at the the next port honey.....lol.

[@paulpowell4871]

the Alaska Trawler is a robust design. I imagine it would be the only design in this range I would care to be in in an open storm

[@lorditsprobingtime6668]

Damn! I just looked at the price and realised I could afford that lovely thing! I would have to sell my house but, good riddance. I would absolutely love living and wandering around in it. Just a shame it's half a planet away from here and those big diesels would eat A LOT of fuel to get here, IF I was even game to try that. The fact they've got over 2,000 hours on each isn't a killer since if maintained well they'll last damn near forever but, they are big and for my type of normal use, I wouldn't need that much. That is a gorgeous boat and extremely well kept, so much so, I actually thought it was new at first.

[@ddadamo7353]

After traveling some 10k miles on the ocean I’d be concerned about over head grab rails very important while underway it’s a clean boat but crawling into that engine room underway could be problematic it’s a nice coastal boat but Selene beats this hands down

[@saillaw2]

Well it is very comparable to a Nordhaven 43 from afar - priced at only about half to a third of what an N43 would cost- so I can see the appeal. Personally though it wouldn’t work for me for two deal breaker reasons: 1) the fact that there is no side access without going through the main cabins - this will make short handed docking a challenge if anything goes wrong. 2) and more importantly, you need to be a spelunker to access the engines -no way I can get there and not be claustrophobic- this will really be a problem for any major maintenance and will make routine checks a nightmare. Maybe if you are younger and that crawling is not a problem, but for me it’s sadly a deal breaker.

[@rickhaigwood1079]

The floor panels in the salon lift out/up so actually you could stand in that engine room centerline for pre-checks......No real need to crawl.

[@saillaw2]

@@rickhaigwood1079 ok that makes it a much less head scratching design

[@garythorstenson6783]

Less money than a Nordhaven for sure, but that extra $$ gets you a real bluewater boat with doors and hatches that are water tight and windows that will stand up to big water. But for the money, these are great boats, even with the limited side deck access and short engine room with the sole panels in place. And William Smith is spot on in his comment above. no way you get through Chicago on the loop at 23ft air draft. I looked at the mast and there's no hinge. If you can install one on such a substantial mast, you should be able to make it. But my main issue with this post is that the narrator failed to emphasize the main feature of this particular boat. It appears to be in outstanding shape for a 23 year old boat. The floors and walls are stunning, and at less than 2350 hours, the engines are just hitting their stride. I didn't see this boat in person like Mcnaught Americas did, but I think it will go closer to the asking price.

[@richardwestmoreland4796]

Unless you have a serious aversion to it,a retrofit for the engine room doesn't appear to be overly difficult. It might might not be 100% as good as if it was already done when this floating home was manufactured but at my first look I didn't see anything that would completely rule out doing a retrofit to create some more overhead space to make maintenance considerably easier. I would want the blueprints before attempting anything of course. A friend of mine had a similar issue with his live aboard and was able to do a retrofit job with relative ease.

This one is a mixed nag. Why its well maintained there are some things not to like. A shared shower, no eating or table place on the flybridge or aft deck, crawling into an engine room while at sea is no fun, having to get to aft lines quickly will require you to go through the living quarter every time. The pilot house door sills/coamings are non existent and would not keep water out during high seas. The size of the fuel tanks makes range limited. You couldn't go from San Diego to Hawaii. Not sure what the price is but I'm sure it is much less than a Bering. UpdateL Saw it is $360k or half the price of a Bering. Coastal cruiser on a budget would be the market for this.

How to contact into on this boat

[@markomarten]

The design is not so clean or uncluttered as that on a Grand Banks or Nordhavn. The galley seemed a bit dated, but could be easily upgraded. The television being placed where it is seemed to take space away in the galley area when the separate area to the left that could be used for that. The use of space did seem a bit hit and miss which is a shame. There’s bits to like but overall it could be a better boat, it appears to be a busy boat and trying to do too much with the result being corners are cut. The Portuguese Bridge was ok but why no door? I don’t think I would want to spend more than a few days on this before it drove me mad. Sadly someone has tried to be clever and this boat is the result, it doesn’t excel at anything and will leave you with more questions than answers. The Baby Nordhavn 41 would be a better choice in my view and it would cross the Atlantic. Another alternative would be a Grand Banks 41/43 Heritage Europa, not an exploration vessel but well designed and thought out across all areas. It makes me wonder why folk settle for just average.

I really get a kick out of those that feel everyone should have a comprehensive understanding of all the vernacular that those who take to the seas use. You might get labelled as a landlubber when you call a "rain locker" a shower but I've been called much worse. I personally could not care less if anyone hasn't passed this imaginary test of what type of language to use when onboard a vessel any larger than a dinghy and for some probably any larger than an inner tube.....lol. I have unfortunately been onboard a vessel when the so called captain didn't know shit from Shinola about operating said vessel yet he sure talked a nice game. As long as people are taking to the waters wherever that might be there will be those who might never know much of the vernacular that goes with it. I guess surprising to some those that don't speak the language are just lucky that they haven't gone to Davey Jones locker because it. I'm 66 years of age and somehow I have managed to keep my head above water(no pun intended) with just a rudimentary understanding of a sailors vernacular. Probably just luck.....lol.
