I have been looking at NT's as well. From what I have seen, NT prices vary geographically. Tugs in the PNW seem to have the highest prices. Many of the tugs here in California seem to have been on the market for a long time. The brokers I have talked to told me they would be happy just to be able to present their clients with an offer. I would guess this would be true in other areas as well... if you search the archives here, I saw an nt42 sell real cheap as the owner just wanted out. I am not sure about the boat you are looking at, but I am confident I could pick up a nt32 inthat year range for $75k, but maybe not one with that low of hours. Then again, I am not so sure if a motor with that low of hours is a good thing. I am interested in hearing about the results of your engine survey. Also remember that soldboats.com only records the price of boats sold through brokers which may be priced higher than a PP sale.
