Interesting boats

[Nomad Willy]

Explorer is made in Holland …. so she’s steel.
She has the look of a boat that was scrapped and got a house that was lay’in around a boat yard that had come off an old wood boat but was plastic.

First thing I’d do w her is paint the hull white.

The Romsdalls (sp?) were 85’ wer'nt they?

Looks like a 25’ dinghy on the foredeck.

I’ve seen them 55’ to 100’ but yes many are-were 85’.

I wonder why this Northern Marine has been listed for so long at at 429 days. I like this, and I know at one time Northern Marine had a stellar reputation, I assume this is a good build. Anyone here seen this in person? Says motivated seller.

The seller is very motivated so If you are looking for a yacht to cruise the world or just want a great live aboard cruiser, "Patricia Lee" is a must see! Please call today to schedule an appointment for viewing.

Short answer... price is too high. That is the only reason boats don't sell. You can have an old rotted wooden boat full of muskrats, but if you price it right (perhaps $1) then someone will buy it.

The important question is "what to price it at?" and that obviously depends on so many things you could name them all day long.

Really beautiful boat though

You are lucky

This one is a little big for me at 85', but It sure gets my pulse racing. Seems like a lot of boat for the price. If I could find moorage for it in Anacortes for a reasonable price, I would be tempted to try and pull off a miracle and convince my wife we should buy it.

They just reduce the price
I take a look at this boat in the past but the price still...
For a smaller price you have one closer to you

Few year ago we visited a similar Northen Marine in Neederland ( because she will be auctioned, and with auction we never know some time good opportunity) but the boat is very high not the price the boat ...

Yep, that'd work.
But no need for a mooring, she's made to be out there.

I do hope that transom drops out making a nice boarding area and lazaret access.
One of the line drawings indicates it does

 

[long-cours.62]

On De Valk website you have one photo where the transom il open down ,

 

[OldDan1943]

a lot of boat for the money. Does it come with full fuel tanks?
Several cargo holds?
I like the idea of, no frills on the outside. Every frill on the inside and then damned few.
Too bad it wont fit in my 15 ft wide slip.
I guess I could anchor out and take one of the smaller boats into my dock.

Speaking which, I wonder if they leave a crew member on board, for security etc.

I find this boat interesting... upkeep could be a chore.

A 90 year old wood boat? Upkeep? Nah, what could go wrong? How hard could it be?

:lol:

Beautiful boat though.

I recommend to watch the video. This old beauty virtually "walks on water"!

Did not see nmpg stats... but... by the way she glided through water, with a 6 knot cruise speed mentioned, I would not be surprised at 5 to 6 nmpg.

You mean a 90 year old wooden hull boat.

I had a chat with the owners a few years back when Patricia Lee was docked here in Campbell River. The exterior looked fabulous ( circumstances prevented my going onboard) and i was able to glean some interesting info from the owners. Being an early production 64 she was much lower than later versions. Apparently later customers wanted more headroom below deck for accommodations, engine room, etc. so NM raised everything up, which made for a very tall vessel. One benefit of the lower version is a sidedeck gate that allows direct dock access.
Great people by the way.

 

[JWellington]

They have a great reputation!

 

[twistedtree]

Joubert/Nivelt Alloy

Nice looking boats.

 

[twistedtree]

They have a great reputation!

who, northern marine? Mixed, I’d say, ranging from very good to very bad.

Saw this boat in Pittsford on the Erie canal and talked to the owner for a while about it. This is an old Gulfstar sailboat that he converted into a pilothouse trawler. You can still see the Chain plates in some of the pictures.









I would have done a few things differently, but I give a tip of the hat to all the work he put into it.

What was more important, a 'stick' in the air and being stuck in the canal or the flexibility to travel the canal and other places. I do wonder what he did about the keel.

 

[Nomad Willy]

Love this old Gulfstar and her very full 360 degree visual command.

Not sure about the rudder and prop locations tho.

This looks like a heck of a lot of boat for the $$ - lots of wood but in the PNW and in a boathouse! Just a gorgeous trawler.
