That is a sweetheart of a boat. Some boats are just "right". To my eye that falls in the "right" category.
Same here!The more I drool/look at it, this boat reminds me of the Krogen 54 - although obviously this fine ship pre-dates the KK by about 40 years!

Hmmm. I was going to do a "wannabe" windshield photoshop job on it, but it's already got it. I agree with Don......it's right.

Strange how the two roof lines are quite different, and dis-continuous, yet it all works together VERY well.

Aaaaaaa Eric, man of taste!! Your can entice me with a Portuguese Bridge every time. You can leave the windows as is thank you. Anchor and windless appear in adequacy for the needs. Suspect that the price reflects all of the qualities of a fine boat.
Good photo catch and posting Eric.

Julie and I liked at a number is boats like this in the Netherlands in the last few years.
We did like them a lot.
Not having the pilot house separate was an issue. The engine room access was even more important in the long run.
Other than this boat being able to do the French canals, the Krogen is a much better all around boat to both live on and cruise oceans.

When my father was a young man there were a lot of boats like Patamar in these three pictures also at the LaConner boat/car show. Notice how narrow they she is and the're not very deep either. Mark would call this boat a "slicer". Most all of this type were powered by 6cyl gas flat head engines. Smooth and quiet. No rubber engine mounts. Very happy at 9 to 10 knots. The sunshade ruins the first pic. Sorry.
Observe in the first pic there's no straight part of the sheer .. a long graceful curve.
The last pic is of a Dreadnought anchor that isn't all rusty. This guy painted his to match his deck. Very classy looking.

I had noticed that very few of the listings of these beautiful Dutch steel boats had pictures of the engine installation - I assumed because it was because the engine "rooms" were similar to your typical sail boat (tucked away in a corner).
The KKs certainly are fine all around boats! Though the parquet floors would take some getting used to!

I'm not ready for a "love aboard", "work in progress" 1985 trawler.
I am fine with the "love aboard" part, but the work-in-progress isn't for me. The hull shape is interesting with the "flare" carried the full length of the hull. The portholes look like they are actually angled down a bit. Reverse slanted portholes?

Hull shape?
No see no hull shape .... except above the WL.

Greetings, Now comes this interesting craft. Always looking for a boat that will adapt to our Southern Southeast Alaska waters. Here is one that would qualify in my opion . Salty, steel and the price has to be one that is worth a question with the hoped for outcome of a described estate sale complete in truth!!

I think that was the prototype for the Nordhavn 62.

I don't care for that weird flair. Like a piece of metal curled over. And no flare at the stem. I would prefer a flare running straight up from the WL. Would increase the volume of the hull w no significant downside that I can see off hand. Perhaps the NA did that to maximize the width of the deck cabin and retain a reasonable walk around deck width. Looks rather bad though.
And Don Nordhavn's are like Land Rovers long on guru appeal and short on style.

Don, that looks more like a shortened Krogen Manatee facing backward to me

That was interesting,...wish she was on the east coast,....and wish I was still in the market for a boat.
