I hope I can get one when I can afford it! It'll be sure to turn some heads on the adriatic! So excited that my dream boat is back in production! I hope I can get one when I can afford it!

The hull is extremely flat at the stern as it is a semi displacement hull shape and has no relevance to performance like a planning V bottom hull. Bob Hello Mike

I think we should probably consider it "transportable" but since most states require at least a special permit for anything over 8' 6", it is NOT easily trailerable. As far as economy goes, a more fine hull might indeed be more fuel efficient, but would have less initial static stability. If you're really talking full displacement, that changes the stability factor even more, not to mention eliminating the "fast cruise" option which many of today's "hybrid" trawlers are capable of. Certainly there is a market for slow, full-displacement, high-efficienty travel; but this boat is not designed for that. As a weekend "trawler" that can step it up to 12-15 knots to make it back home from the islands on Sunday evening, it's probably still a good deal. Let's agree that we're probably not going to trailer it. Good comment! Thanks for contributing. Alan – your comment about the “trailerable” beam is well-taken.

What I would like to see is a trailerable displacement powerboat that's 8'6" by about 35', with about the same power or even a little less.

I certainly hope production resumes on this model. I have been yearning for a Nordic Tugs 26 for several years, and finally, I will be able to afford one.
