NORDIC TUG 42 – FOG DOG – [Talk Through Tour] – SOLD!

SOLD! Congratulations and safe travels to the new owners.

The 42 Flybridge is widely considered one of Nordic Tug’s most sought-after models. Fog Dog is a 2004 model year, hull number 57, with a 2 stateroom, 2 head layout.

With her distinct build heritage to working tug boats, her hull shape is well known among trawler enthusiasts as being hardy, strong, and elegant through the water. Lots of interior upgrades have been done to revitalize her living spaces and by stepping aboard through the cockpit into the saloon, you can instantly feel a modern touch to her. The original carpet has been replaced with teak and holly wood flooring that has been double insulated to reduce engine room noise and temperature. The large windows open for maximum airflow, natural light and viewing pleasure. The living quarters, galley, and pilot house are all entered from the saloon.

Nestled below the saloon is the engine room, housing a Cummins 450 HP diesel engine that allows Fog Dog to be easily navigated around docks with both a bow and stern thruster. Up a few steps from the saloon is the pilothouse, a wonderful place to spend your days cruising comfortably. A variety of Raymarine digital navigation, including autopilot, afford the operator detailed charts and info of the water ahead and below. Morse electronic engine controls, bow thruster, stern thruster, and a large helm wheel all serve Fog Dogs’ operator for easy maneuvering.

The upper deck and flybridge are accessed via a ships ladder in the aft cockpit. Tall safety rails line the edges of the upper boat deck to help prevent accidents. The dinghy is an 8’ AB with a 15HP Yamaha outboard, that rests on custom chocks to the starboard side of the boat deck. The dinghy is raised with a heavy-duty Steelhead crane. A few short steps up the port side is the flybridge. The flybridge is shaded by a canvas Bimini, with comfortable seating for a captain and co-captain at the helm.
Fog Dog is reluctantly being passed on to new, loving owners. Her current owners have spent many years at sea and have now decided to live a new life on land. She has provided many amazing memories for both friends and family alike, just as she will for you.

I love your videos. You explain everything so clearly and make it not only easy to understand, but you make it easy to picture owning the boat. Superior boating videos. My favorite though is the Nordhavin. That was a seriously amazing boat. I have a boat in my bucket list one day. You are doing great my friend, keep up the amazing videos.

Might be one of the best filmed boat tours I’ve seen on YouTube. Great job guys! Beautiful tug.

[Vinniea]

I don’t know what I enjoy best, the fantastic variety of trawlers . . . or Jeff’s eclectic range of Reyn Spooners! 🎉😂

[siliconvalleyengineer]

[Vessel_Vanguard]

Beautiful vessel. Having a well maintained boat like this should make it an easy sale. Great video.

Hi Jeff, I’m dialing in what I can afford and this Swiss Army knife of trawlers is right up my alley. Thank you for a straight forward tour of this well kept trawler. 😊 oh by the way, I like your shirt!

Thanks for another great video tour Jeff! As the proud owner of hull #1 of the NT42 series, it is great to see all of the changes they've made over the years. To be able to actually sit up in the engine room is only a vague concept for me! Thanks again for this and all of your other amazing videos!

I like the flybridge! Nicest Nordic tug I've seen. Perfect size.

[BCVS]

Well done video and a nice boat! I can certainly see the appeal of this lifestyle!

[robnee]

I love your tours. You are a very knowledgeable boater! Thanks

Beautiful Nordic 42 Jeff, Thanks for the full tour.

Great Review of the boat... really great. The Nordic Tug 42 has always been a favorite of mine.

[scottosborn]

Love the fact that you listed the headroom. I’m 6-5 so that’s a big consideration for me, and it can be difficult finding that info. Nice video!

[DrCrabfingers]

Great tour Jeff....she's a beaut.

[benphillips]

LOVE the detail work on the prow. The overhang on the cockpit from the boat deck is nice. Was that canvas? Nordic really squeezed a lot into this.

Also, I really like how y'all use the red dot on the deck graphic to show where the camera is. I know that takes extra work, but the attention to detail says a lot about y'all.

SOLD. Great looking tug. Thanks for posting

I see some of the complaint comments here about the review and the price of this vessel.
However, please note. Although i don't know Jeff personally, he has an outstanding reputation around the world in regards to trawlers. He doesn't sell garbage.
Besides, if you buy from Jeff or his group, the support after the purchase from my understanding is second to non.
You are paying for not just the vessel but his expertise in the industry.
I've traveled from the islands into Canada and and even in Europe, we know of Jeff.
If i was purchasing a vessel, there are only 5 people I would consider purchasing from, and Jeff is in the top 5.
Shop around, but don't burn your bridge with Jeff Merrill.

Great video. You guys are pros at this.

I love Nordic Tugs.
I’m interested in cruising speed and range. I didn’t hear you talk about the main engine brand and horsepower. What’s an OK hurry up speed, and what is TopSpeed. Maybe I missed it.
I don’t care for about the 42 is you can’t see what’s going on the back deck while steering the vessel at least from the inside, not sure about the flybridge. Makes it difficult to talk to people fishing while staring at the same time a camera with audio may be helpful. Like I said, I love Nordic tugs and u did a really nice job touring this boat. Thanks mate! 🤗

I am not even in the market for a trawler. But really enjoy your channel. Keeps this dreamer dreaming.
