  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.

Any chance a Nordic Tug 32/34 would be in your wheelhouse? My fully loaded model (flybridge, genset, air, bow/stern thrusters, etc) will be coming up for sale within the next few weeks in Portland. I realize they are very different hulls, but also have a lot of similarities.
 
No I am pretty stuck on an AT34. Would prefer a boat somewhere near the great loop but open to anything. Thank you.
 
Kent,
looks like there's two AT34s on Yachtworld on the east coast but you're probably aware there is not a large inventory.
I don't know what your price range is but have you heard the American Tug factory (Tomco) is now producing a new product called the Waypoint 36 and is built from the same mold as the AT34 and AT365? If you haven't here's a link, its a lower price point than other new ATs in the line...

No affiliation, just a happy AT owner.... ;)
 
Yeah, I am aware of them both. One of those is actually Sale Pending and I am not sure about the other one. Just seeing if there is anything else out there. I was at the factory last weekend, great place!
 
Hi Kent. I sent you a PM with a couple of questions. One of them you have answered here (was an East Coast vessel ok?) My other question is what vintage of boat are you looking for. There is a big difference in price between a 2001 and a 2015. So I guess what I am asking is what's your approximate budget?

My AT34 broker was Greg Clark 401 862 1777. He is located in/near Stuart FL.
Tell him, Dan says hello.

Very little difference in the 34 and 36 other than the year built. Neither has much of a hanging closet.

If you buy one, contact me and I will show/tell where I put 3 additional cabinets, spice rack and thingie to prevent sliding of stuff you leave on the counter.

I am south of Ft Lauderdale a bit.
 
The American Tug 34 seems to be a much bigger hull than at Nordic Tug. Especially when one is pulled up behind you.
 
Yes there is a common history between the two companies, but the hull molds are completely different.
In both the ~34 foot length as well as the ~42 foot lengths the American is almost exactly 2 feet wider in beam.
But there are other similarities; both have full keel protected props, single engines, semi-displacement, and both tend to come with higher hp motors capable of high teens in knots at WOT, but pretty efficient down at hull speed.
 
Are the hulls that different between a Nordic and and American Tug ? Weren't they both designed by the same guy ??

Hamrow provided a good summation. One additional point is that when AT was started, they bought the molds which came from a commercial fishing trawler.

I've been in an AT365 (closest equivalent to my NT34), and while the interior layout is very similar, the AT is a much larger boat primarily due to the beam.

I've heard that the ATs aren't quite as fuel efficient as the NTs. Hearsay or truth, I don't know. It could simply be due to the fact that the AT is bigger.

I have some experience with Mr. Clark and will say the same for him as I will say for all business transactions...do not believe or count on absolutely anything that is said until it is put into writing and signed by all parties.
