Hi all; I have a mint condition 2003 Nordic Tug that I have loved - taken the inside passage to Alaska twice. But the stage of life has come to let her go. Living in the Pacific Northwest selling a NT37 shouldn't be too tough as they perfectly fit the crusing climate for this region and the...

Hi all I have a Nordic Tug 37 - wonderful long term cruising vessel. But With the Cummins 6BTA directly beneath the pilot house there is quite a lot of engine noise, even at 7-8 knot cruising speed. Has anyone investigate ways to further insulate noise from the engine room? I’d love to hear...

Super helpful thank you. This is exactly the kind of answer I'm imagining and this seems to show it's doable. thanks all for the specific suggestions on railmakers who can do this kind of work in the NW area!

Thanks all for suggestions/advice. I did find a railmaker in the Seattle area with very good Google reviews - called NW Railmakers so I'll have them over to see what they suggest. Also - Iggy I'd love to see a photograph of what they did on your boat if you can do that.

Here's a photo if that helps....

Hi all I have a Nordic Tug 37 (2003) that was built and set up with the dinghy on weaver davits off the swimstep rather than atop the aft cabin with a crane. I like this setup as I use the upper deck for a seating area and also as a piloting place - (wireless remote control to the autopilot...

I mean TWO friends Ideally I'd like to be able to bring 2 separate friends (all male - no couples) for trips up the inside passage. One could certainly be in the salon, but I'd really like another bunk for a second friend to also join for a week or so.. thanks for you comments. Don

Hi all; I'm looking at purchasing a NT37 which is in stellar condition. My biggest reservation is that is was built as a single-stateroom model so has a narrow port side for washer/dryer and an additional freezer instead of the "normal" second stateroom. This portside is about 36 inches wide...

thanks Thank you all for this. I'll plan on getting a careful maintenance history (if possible) and a very good mechanical survey.

Hi all; I'm looking at purchasing a 2006 Selene 40 that appears to be in excellent condition. It has been in the PNW all it's life but has been part of the Anacortes Charter fleet for several years and has 3900 hours on the Cummins QSB5.9 230hp engine. I know I'd need a careful...

Yes easy Garmin Glo for $69 will add Bluetooth gps to any iPad and works seamlessly w my iPad running navionics. I’ve come to use this much more than the older built in Raymarine navigation on my 2008 boat. The iPad is higher resolution, way less expensive, easy to upgrade update and never...

Offer? `What did you offer them that they accepted? Helpful for the rest of us to know selling realities for these older boats?

Hi all - I have a 32 foot Nordic Tug that I've taken all over and used and loved enough to know that I'm in this for the long haul. Now looking to trade-up to a larger trawler-style boat to accomodate guests and family for longer outings. Here's my question - I often also travel alone and...

Where can you buy the epropulsion motor - is there a model name?

I have a backup camera on my Nordic Tug and find it pretty useless. They give no sense of depth perception and the wide-angle lens distorts perspective. Just look out the pilothouse and trust real-life.
