I love those. Apparently only 9 were made and one is currently for sale.Now this is fairly rare, neat to see it in our home harbour.

That is a cool boat! Let's form a yachtshare and buy it. And while 500k is nothing to sneeze at, and we all know it's just the ticket to admission...I wonder what it needs? With inflation etc seems reasonable. I'm a sucker for old cool boats, I guess I grew up on John Wyane movies lol.post deleted
This one makes me want to own a wood boat. Stabilized, bow thruster, beautiful.

Totally agree with you. That Northern is one hell of a boat. Like it better than their current version which doesn’t have full wrap around decks. Also doesn’t those large areas of glass in the hull which seems to be the recent fad for the last few years. Would buy it in a heart beat if I didn’t have the one I have now. Figure it would be gone by the time I sold this one and would have to sell my other toys as well.That does look like a great boat, that is well priced. I will guess at why it looks so cheap.
1. I bet it would cost a lot more than 100-200K to have it brought back to super nice yacht spec if hired it out. I bet if you brought it into a high quality yard and had them fix all the issues you could easily hit the $800K price you mentioned. (It still might be an ok deal if you love the rest of the boat.
2. That is a SLOW trawler (Similar to mine). A lot of the similar size Nordhavn, Northern marine, etc, advertise a faster cruise speed.
3. No swim step in the back, and high side gates. Makes it hard to swim off of, get in and out of dingy, and get on and off it at the dock. Especially when first coming in when you might not want the boarding steps hanging out in harms way.
4. Deep draft.
This is my current crush. It is right at the $800k price point, and similar in many ways to this boat.
Anyone else notice the interesting exhaust setup on that Northern? It has what looks like a dry muffler and very long line over to the shower nozzle on the down side. I suppose that makes for little chance of ingestion of salt water into the turbo/engine. One would think it's also pretty quiet.Totally agree with you. That Northern is one hell of a boat.

Wow!Interesting to know the consumption of this one at different speed ?

Thanks for this info, but little desapointedWow!
"At wind of over 12 knots, and anywhere from 10 degrees onwards off the nose, IETA can self-produce up to 1 knot of additional speed, (or when the wind is to beam)"
Cruising at 6-8 knots she has a range of 4300-7000 nautical miles, and she has 1700g (6500L). So guess would be around 1L/nm at 6kn, and 1.5L/nm at 8kn. Both are decent but not particularly amazing for a good powercat. I bet her 12-15kn values would be really interesting though!
Oh, and 72cm/28.4" props .
Awesome tool room? check.
Toys and huge rear swim deck and storage/entry? check
Great to see this AND Domino going strong!
This one is also impressive for similar money:Hard to believe you could get this much boat for the price of a Seapiper. If this boat would have a positive inspection I think I could interest my wife in it.
This is different. Really like the big windows.

This one is also impressive for similar money:
What do the experts think about a 48 year old aluminum hull with teak decking? Nightmare or manageable? Imagine you'd want a very good survey from someone who knew what they were doing.

The "Stentor" was built in Romania.What is it about Sneek, Netherlands that they seem to have such cool boats there? Anyone in or been to Sneek? Tell me about it....
