You should do a podcast. I would love to listen to owner stories, cruising adventures, maintenance tips, buying advice, different boats pros and cons, etc.
Jag: Thank you for noticing. The engine room is her personal domain (yes, you read that right) and she is awesome on mechanicals and maintenance. To me, and many others, the engine room is the most important area - especially if you are going to travel far.
Jeff you do such a wonderful job presenting these boats. I prefer the look of the forward raked windshields on other Nordhavn models but this will certainly make a great cruiser for someone. Thanks for allowing us to see the ins and outs of so many great boats. I hope to be a customer of yours someday.
Mik: Thank you for your nice note. The 50 and 57 models are not aft raked pilothouse windshields (a few 57's were) so it is a different look. They are all equally capable offshore and the engine rooms are well appointed for that type of travel. Please feel free to get in touch directly with me Jeff@JMYS.com or call my cell 949.355.4950 any time you want to connect.
Great walk through and I enjoy being able to follow the diagram on the video of where you are on the vessel. Nice job, your going to make Dick Simon jealous
I very much enjoy you, Jimmy or Victoria and Rico on explaining the boat from the comfort, wood, electronics, hull, engine details, etc. Thank you until a 55' Nordhaven is in reach dollar wise.
Greetings from Northern California. Jeff I get tired of these people criticizing you because you do an excellent job presenting the boats. I don’t know much about trawlers but I find your talks interesting and informative. Do you ever sell boats out of Sacramento?
Hi Brows: Thanks for sticking up for me! I don’t know why, if they don’t like it, they have to say something negative and hide behind a pseudonym. Part of the gig. I have a great broker and friend up in the Delta if you need a local resource. Please send a direct email to Jeff@JMYS.com and thanks again for your note!
Bnk: The more you learn about your choices, the better your final decision will be. I tell people that the perfect boat is the next one, so you are right on course!
@@dubcoco1 Great place Baton Rouge. I represented a buyer, the boat was listed for sale by a very kind NO yacht broker. No consignment deals in trawler sales. Seller hires a broker, broker does marketing to attract a buyer.
David: Forward water tank full, fuel tanks are aft and low so yes, a slight bow down, which is actually a better angle in big seas (and were in flat calm)
Arthur: They are great boats, but only a couple dozen of them built so it's going to take some timing and luck to become an owner, but you won't regret a single minute of it and it's a very worthy goal.
Ross: Yes, this would be an ideal entry level Nordhavn. Two cabins, two heads. The classic Nordhavn machinery - Lugger main with dry stack, wing engine, generator. Please feel free to email me directly if you would like to discuss - Jeff@JMYS.com thank you!
Peter: Good eye, yes and easier to see in flat water. The trim can be effected by the volume in the water tanks (there are four) and I believe forward was full and I also think the fuel tanks were no more than half full (full they would bring the stern down).
John: This is a boat built to cross oceans and when you are away from the shallows it is beneficial to have that deep, ballasted keel to smooth your ride.
John: For the video the owner was driving solo. Calm waters and a short trip. Docking single handed can be tricky. I wouldn't travel far by myself, best for two minimum and ideally three for overnight/multiple day runs.
Beyond: Price on JMYS.com, we don't publish on RUclips because this video will still be active long after the boat sales so the price won't be accurate. Feel free to write me a direct email - Jeff@JMYS.com to discuss. Thank you!
@@RossEnzo Yes - 3,000 mile range. Depends upon speed, load, weather, etc. if you slow down you can go farther, there are mathematical calculations you need to do after you run your own boat to verify. Price on JMYS.com, not on the video or comments as it could change and will sell.
@michael ferrins Hi Michael - he may or may not go to the site, that is where the price, photos and specifications are. Most brokers will not publish prices on RUclips for the same reason; the price could change and the boat will sell. Like an old magazine ad, it's dated, not current.
If it is new, it is okay. A eighteen year old is like paying too much. It definitely won’t last for another ten years. By then it will depreciate to $50,000, after spending a hell of a a lot of money on upkeep.
Well maintained Nordhavn's, like this one, hold onto more of their value than you might think. If the new owner takes as much care as the current one has, I can see this cruising on for another 20 years. Yes, it's going to need more maintenance than a brand new boat, or even one half it's age. You commented on the cost of the upkeep, I hope you realize that the word "boat" is an acronym for: Break Out Another Thousand That's just as true for a brand new boat (of any make) as it is for this one.
The Nordhavn layout that has the guest cabin accessed thru the owners cabin goes back 20 years?! You'd think they could have solved that bad design in 20 years. I like Nordhavns. I plan on buying one (or a Fleming) in a few years. But I just don't like that layout.
If you were actually planning on buying one then I'd imagine you'd already have realised that you are mistaken on the layout, and wouldn't just be relying on RUclips videos for information on what is a major financial outlay. I suspect you are simply a dreamer, just like the majority of us.
Wayne: You have already had some replies, but I wanted to contribute. The 50 had different choices in layout, like most Nordhavns. The forward end of the saloon/galley always has the stairway up to the pilothouse, but the stairway to the owner cabin was an option. Some original buyers used that stairway for cabinetry / storage. No right or wrong, just a choice. What I like about the aft entrance to the owner is that since it is typically a couple aboard, they don't have to go up through the pilothouse and then down the forward stairway to get to either stateroom/head. The saloon entry also allows for more natural airflow from the open forward hatch through both staterooms out through the open saloon door. It's not a question of the age of the design, it is a choice by the original buyer as to what they preferred. Thanks for our note.
@@tommyroche9142 Hi Tommy. Thanks for your response. The diagram does show the layout and we have additional photos and detailed specifications available online. Some prefer the aft entrance to the owner cabin. They all have the landing entrance from the forward pilothouse stairway.

Jeff, You give the best walk thought / Talk thought videos on the internet! It shows you know your stuff!! Thanks for sharing!😎👍⚓
Captain Rick: Hello old friend! Thank you very much for your very kind words.
You should do a podcast.
I would love to listen to owner stories, cruising adventures, maintenance tips, buying advice, different boats pros and cons, etc.
Wayne: Thank you for the suggestion, I've been asked before and as much as it would be fun to do, there is only so much time...
Cant believe how clean the Engine room is for a 20 year old boat. Nice to see people taking pride in their belongings.
Jag: Thank you for noticing. The engine room is her personal domain (yes, you read that right) and she is awesome on mechanicals and maintenance. To me, and many others, the engine room is the most important area - especially if you are going to travel far.
I NEVER would have guessed she was from 2002. It aged very well and looks AMAZING. Timeless, I would say
Blewyd: Thanks, the sellers are very thorough and she looks better in person.

Really enjoy your presentations, Jeff! Top 5!
Quantum: Thank you for the high ranking. I enjoy doing these videos and that kind of positive feedback is very encouraging and always welcome.
Jeff, thanks for showing off this double cabin 50. I’m getting closer and closer to yacht ownership. Gotta find that perfect boat. Cheers!

Beautiful boat and a nice price. You have some great trawlers on you site.
Dub: Thank you! Was in NO in December on a successful Selene 43 deal. Are you in Louisiana?
@@JeffMerrillYachts Yes sir. Baton Rouge. Did you deliver a unit here of were making a consignment deal?

Very nice 👍🏽
@@ronaldcockayne9489 Thank you Ronald!
Moving all my subscriptions to Rumble. See you there.
Bob: I hear good things about Rumble.
this is the oldest nordhavn I've seen. it's still very nice!
Licence: Thank you, she is really a terrific boat, appreciate your note!
should have a camera in the hallway to record all the guests that fall out of that desk chair into the stairwell.
Sigh: I'm not sure how many people use the desk chair, but I've never heard of anyone falling out of it. Thanks for watching.
JMYS - Trawler Specialists
LOL at the Sigh, it’s gotta get tiring some days, keep up the good work Jeff, see you soon.
@@GENECARP Thank you, it's a lot of fun seeing what people have to say!
Nice boat! She seems to be runnng a little bow heavy. Maybe the tanks are low on fuel or water.
David: Forward water tank full, fuel tanks are aft and low so yes, a slight bow down, which is actually a better angle in big seas (and were in flat calm)
I wanna own one some day
Arthur: They are great boats, but only a couple dozen of them built so it's going to take some timing and luck to become an owner, but you won't regret a single minute of it and it's a very worthy goal.
A fantastic example of a classic Nordhavn. Very nice size for longer cruises. Would you say this could a good entry point to Nordhavn ownership?
Ross: Yes, this would be an ideal entry level Nordhavn. Two cabins, two heads. The classic Nordhavn machinery - Lugger main with dry stack, wing engine, generator. Please feel free to email me directly if you would like to discuss - Jeff@JMYS.com thank you!
She looked bow heavy? Am I right or was I seeing it wrong? If so, why?
Peter: Good eye, yes and easier to see in flat water. The trim can be effected by the volume in the water tanks (there are four) and I believe forward was full and I also think the fuel tanks were no more than half full (full they would bring the stern down).
I thought the same thing!
@@toddkarrick6711 Trim adjustable, tanks full vs. empty will impact it
Lekker man lekker
Thank you Gerhard!
Very nice Nordhavn, too much draft (both keel and air) for what I would want it for though.
John: This is a boat built to cross oceans and when you are away from the shallows it is beneficial to have that deep, ballasted keel to smooth your ride.
Can you please point the camera down a little next time or use a wide angle camera lense? Difficult to see what you’re talking about
Jonathan: Agree, hard to tell what the camera is seeing when filming myself, working on it and will get better.
nice boat can it be operated by 1 man operation ?
John: For the video the owner was driving solo. Calm waters and a short trip. Docking single handed can be tricky. I wouldn't travel far by myself, best for two minimum and ideally three for overnight/multiple day runs.
i agree with the earlier comment...less face more yacht....
Larry: Thank you for your comment. Not as easy when self filming, but I hear you.
Has this boat sold?
Larry: Yes, she has sold. Details on JMYS.com for reference.
Fuel range and expected price please. We want a boat to cross the pacific. Send us a message. Thanks.
I believe it said 3,000 miles of range. I’m thinking the price is somewhere around 600-800, could be way off though.

Está Traineira é a Gasolina ou Óleo Diesel
Joao: Diesel engine main and wing.
And the price? Am sure twenty years is as good as as scrap value.
They have been sellling in the 620-635 range
If it is new, it is okay. A eighteen year old is like paying too much. It definitely won’t last for another ten years. By then it will depreciate to $50,000, after spending a hell of a a lot of money on upkeep.
@@jayadsilva67 i guess you are not familiar with the nordhavn brand.

That's just as true for a brand new boat (of any make) as it is for this one.
@@michiganengineer8621 You are correct, Nordhavns do well in the resale market, especially one well maintained like Wild Rumpus.

I like Nordhavns.
I plan on buying one (or a Fleming) in a few years.
But I just don't like that layout.
The main access for the guest cabin is the forward stairwell in the pilot house, not through the owner cabin.

The boat is OK, but the presenter is annoying and i cant listen him more than 5 minutes , max ! Sorry....
Janez: Turn off the volume if I'm that annoying, or watch something else.
I m watching boats, not the presenter !
@@JeffMerrillYachts I found no problem with Jeff's presentation. He's definitely amongst the best salesman I've ever seen.
Jeff is a great presenter and salesman. He may speak too fast for you slow witted but he knows his boats.
