***Please take a moment to subscribe to my channel***Owners asked me to clarify: they have owned the boat since 2018. The hull and deck were painted by previous owner prior to them buying it. MotorCity Boat Werks has no financial stake in this boat. I just think it’s a Beautiful boat! Great deal for someone 😁👍

@Clipper024 Ай бұрын

Ted Brewer's boats are just beautiful. Before Ted had died, I had hired Ted to help me out with the conversion of a Canadian Navy Whaler to a motorsailor, the Nimble was used as the basis of the conversion. He was a wonderful man, not an ounce of pretension in his bones, easy to talk to. He mentioned he wished he could travel to see the boat when done, but he figured that wouldn't be possible. The boat is in the water, and now working on the interior.

@TOMVUTHEPIMP Sam Holmes sailed from California to Hawaii in a Ranger 23. Personally, I've always loved "adverse" weather. There's just something about being lost in the sound of a torrential downpour and merging with the water as you get soaked to the core. Growing up in Florida in the late 80s and early 90s really taught me to appreciate a good soaking. Sure, I busted some teeth in the ocean, but I've never been afraid of it.

25 ft boat can take you anywhere you want to go. At least if you ask the Norwegian who sailed a 22 ft sailboat to Antarctica back in late 1990's. I think it was in 98/99. He called his boat "Berserk" and I met him by the coasts of Antarctica while sailing tourists from Argentina to this very isolated place. Unfortunately I don't remember his name. A wild man, this Norwegian, following his dreams.

I concur. With the mast/tabernacle combination, outboard motor, and flat bottom it should have no problem navigating any part of the Mississippi and shallows. Fueling will be easy as it can use gasoline from anywhere. However to use anywhere? No way. Too light, no keel to speak of to keep it tracking well and tacking would be difficult as a solo sailor. There is not enough room for fuel & potable water storage or for refrigerated or frozen food. There is no survival gear or advanced electronics (chart plotter, AIS, etc.) evident and definitely no radar. How do you recharge the batteries? That v-berth has me feeling claustrophobic and I served on submarines in the Navy! The two things about her that are nice is the protected pilot house & helm and the bow thruster. Cannot picture her and crew making a long passage.

They were made in Odessa FL, in Pasco County. On the west side of Gunn Highway approaching from the south and just short of the old flea market. They used to sit the hull molds and hulls outside a pretty small shed at the side of the road! You may be confused with Compac yachts who made up to 28' boats in Largo/Clearwater Hurcules Avenue area.

If I owned this boat, she would quite possibly never see the ocean. With her shallow draft and trailer-ability, you could spend a lifetime exploring the lakes and waterways of America and with that little diesel stove you could include Canada and Alaska. Several lifetimes, actually. Time for a small, diesel/multi-fuel outboard with with reduction box and a decent size prop. For a boat of this heft and windage, it’s low-end thrust you need to get you home against a stiff headwind.

@@WSallai Windage might be an issue in extreme cases, but hull speed is hull speed and 9 hp should push that along pretty comfortably and use about 4 litres an hour doing so. It's pretty typical to see trailer sailors of that size in my part of the world with 6-9 hp engines. Maybe 15hp would be a better fit, but a 40 hp engine in something that only does 5 or 6 knots through the water seems a bit like over kill, and expensive to run.

Research says 9-15hp seems to be the standard. But there was a “trawler version” that’s was outfitted 40-50hp.

Nice boat. Great condition and a sturdy build. But could it take me anywhere? Maybe the boat could take it, but with it's narrow beam and flat bottom, I doubt it would be a comfortable ride. Just my opinion.

I like people who take my thumbnails literally😂. You can see the two brain cells rubbing together and a little smoke🤣😂. A boat like this asks if you have what it takes. 🤔And I understand you may think you’re lacking. I would have to agree😂🤣

Honestly with the right care and preparation this boat could go just about anywhere, but just not at anytime like most boats, gotta have the right window to fit your boat and your own capabilities.

Beautiful little motor sailor. However I once had a sailboat with the outboard kicker mounted in the back much like this one and it had all kinds of performance problems due to lack of air circulation......

That’s unfortunate for you. 🐙Luckily this boat is rigged properly and works great 😊 👍

If you want a go anywhere small sailboat, you really need to look at a Pacific Seacraft Flicka (20') or Dana (24'). Much more capable boats than the Nimble, which is definitely a fair weather boat. That is not to say that the Nimble is not a nice boat. They are very nice protected water cruisers.

This is a go anywhere boat by trailer, certainly not by sea. It's good for protected waters. It must not beat into the wind very well. Don't try to motor against the wind either with the slamming on the flat bottom. And that propeller dragging all the time. Inside I didn't see a table for two to be able to have a meal. Nice to look at though.

😂🤣 No-- it it doesn’t slam. and No-- it sails just fine. And there is a table inside, but it was not in place during the video. Be sure to like and subscribe 🥸
