Have 9 kw Northern Lights brand new when I got it. Three years running and 1100 total hours- very reliable. I assume I am just breaking it in. Starts easy and once warm will run all day and night at 180 degrees. I think I ran it nonstop without turning it off for 4 days straight. Just wondering...

Came by? Oh well we came by and realized no seats left, our fault for not responding and reserving earlier- the staff had us waiting for seats- next time !! we are just walking around the docks now and will be checking out the slips on the docks. We bring our trawler back to the docks in a...

Let us know the dates we are 30 minutes away - love in the Tampa /Pete area

We are here and the inventory of trawlers is impressive- American Tug, North Pacific,Kadey Krogen, Fleming, Norhaven,Helmsman, Beneteau Swift, and others - if these are the kind of trawlers you are interested in - it would be worth your while to see them all assembled together [emoji41]

We will be bringing our North Pacific 45 for the show[emoji41]

I work full time, of retirement age, own a trawler an hours drive away- getting boat and finances in order for official retirement in a couple of years or so—we go to it almost every weekend and spend night at the marina- love our current private marina with all the social connections—also try...

It is another opportunity to see a multitude of boats of difference sizes and types—both new and used. You can get on all the boats that are there- far as I know the boats are open. Whether you are in the beginning or towards the end of a boat decision there is always something to be learned...

I am planning on showing our new built North Pacific 45 at the show! See you at the show [emoji41]

Wow! Thank you all for your responses— very thoughtful and insightful. Just to add a few more comments that I should throw out there and answer some questions— we have been focused on getting a trawler for some period of time 8+ years - the one we got is a 45 North Pacific- extremely happy with...

I know this has been discussed in multiple ways but I think as I struggle with this important decision I wanted to get fresh opinions and feedback from the Forum members-that I believe understand and that I have a connection to— even though I may not have met many of you I feel connected in a...

Didn’t know bilge keels were an option on NP’s Did you have them installed at the factory?

I think this is a common thought - doing something so enjoyable, knowing at some point that all good things must end. Besides the boating I love scuba diving, snorkeling, spearfishing, lobstering all in the warm waters of Florida and the Bahamas. I wonder how old is too old to be safely going...

pictures of the work in progress on the master suite and the guest stateroom. This guest stateroom has double berth on the bottom and a single bunk on top. we could fit three in there in a pinch ! The master shows how much walk around space there is.

Good observation on the flooring-the floors are covered at every stage except this one. They are varnishing the whole boat including the floors and sanding each coat before the next goes on. No one goes in there without protection over their shoes and there is no heavy equipment in there right...

So I started this thread in the Welcome Mat forum and thought it would be more appropriate in this General Discussion Forum. If you want to see the first 4 pictures please go that forum same title. Since this will be a "long" over time thread(Delivery not until "Decemberish" I wanted to switch...

thanks for all the supportive comments! attached are a couple of interior pics of work in progess.

To start it will be the West coast of Florida including the Keys- after some breaking in we will do Bahamas, Loop and if we have time take it around through Panama Canal all the way up to Inside Passage- many years to do this of course[emoji38]

After many years of TrawlerFests, boat shows, Loop seminars, reading PassageMaker/books,Blogs,TrawlerForum, YachtWorld, Google searches, walking docks, talking to fellow boaters/brokers, facing life's unexpected twists/turns, and dreaming--- we have decided to buy a new North Pacific 45! My...

You made a great selection- AT 39 is one fine boat - love the color also! Congrats and may you enjoy every day of the rest of your journey!

I will be home based in Florida , cruising to Bahamas, Loop,and maybe through the canal up the west coast to Alaska.

Need some opinions - I am finalizing a purchase of a semi-displacement trawler and would like thoughts and experiences regarding the electronics.The standard offering is Garmin 7612xsv, plus basic Garmin autopilot and radar. My experience has been strickly with Furuno chart plotters and Simard...

Blissboat thank you for your note. Will keep an eye out. Thank you!

BandB, will do as Capt.Bill11 suggested. Thanks.

Thank you. We asked this forum to gain from your real life experiences. The uncertainty of the wait time in the locks is another concern.

Thank you for your responses. Very helpful. We're traveling in a 28 ft Parker pilot house with twin 250 outboards. We're trying to make some distance, worried about idle zones.
