I want to get on board one of these before making my mind up. Looks like an awfully compact interior from some angles.
Perhaps some problem with the engines to be 100 hours/300 hours
How one feels about the interior layout, like everything about a boat, is a personal matter. There is a lot in that space, two settees, two staterooms, separate shower in the head. 41 ft isn't all that big of a boat. With all that placed in there, it can't leave much wide-open space for dancing.
But I like it. A lot. More compact interior spaces, just means more to hold onto and less distance to get thrown around or fall in turbulent sea conditions (which the Nordhavn is certainly designed for).
Though, if I had a cost-is-no-object budget, I would want the boat with the single stateroom layout. That makes the master and the head both larger, plus adds a sizable walk-in closet. Nice!

I also like that it's twin engine. I completely get and agree with a comment someone made here (maybe it was
@Art ?) to the effect of, 'It only takes one engine to get home, which is why I have two.'
I've been in the delightful situation of once having bought a well-regarded, well-known, premium-quality and priced (by my financial standards) trawler, and with less than 75 hours on it, had the single engine fail, making it interesting getting back to a dock.
The same brand new single engine boat, with less than 40 hours, had a complete loss of steering - while I was navigating a very narrow, very busy, commercial channel full of in and out-going fishing boats, with a 3+ knot current running through it. There was no time for any kind of 'emergency repair', I was without steerage at the mercy of the current, hurtling out of control towards larger and much more expensive, and unforgiving, fishing boats. In a twin engine boat it would have been simple to just maneuver using the throttles and gearshift along and the hell with the rudder. I didn't have that option.
But unfortunately (for me), the price, whether for this 'used' one, or a brand new one, is impossibly out of reach. Like most things in life, you get what you pay for.
Maybe I should have bought some lottery tickets. Missed that boat too.
