Thanks for taking a look and the nice comment. I'd love to answer your question, but we haven't had a "typical year" yet! Insurance and dockage is easy as they're relatively predictable (25k), but fuel, maintenance, and upgrades are huge variables. I've heard it said that one needs to budget 10% of the boat's value for maintenance and operating costs....and that could be true, but totally dependent on many variables - whether you leave the boat in the slip and perform little to no maintenance, or actively cruise and keep performing upgrades. As a boat ages, it's value may decrease but the maintenance and upgrade costs increase.

Thanks for taking a look, Paul, and passing along the kind words.

Thanks. It’s an Ultra 220 lb. with 400’ of 3/8 HT chain and another 250’ of 3/4” line. It lets us sleep well as we never worry about dragging.

I know them very well, it s the best anchor setup that you can buy.. Not cheap, but security costs money and it s worth every penny esp when you have family on board...

Thanks Joseph. Every boat’s a compromise in some way. And for most of us, $$$ is a huge limiting factor! Would love to know what else is on your list…

Thanks for the kind words, Wayne.

Thank you....great to have you aboard!

Great question Jay! It's around 19' with the mast down but depending on the amount of fuel & water on board, that can change by a couple inches. 3,000+ gallons of fuel & water have an impact on the air draft. But it should still fit under the bridge in Chicago, so the Great Loop is on the Bucket List!

@@northernmarineadventures6630 that's exactly why I asked. Was wondering if it is now great loop capable. Great boat, enjoy!

Thank you Stan. Appreciate your feedback.

Thanks for the question. I didn't dive into a lot of detail in this quick walkthrough, but the boat is stabilized with ABT-TRAC stabilizers which work very well. We've travelled in the company of other boaters who "had their seat belts on" while we walked around with our coffee cups in hand! And when cornering, the boat doesn't lean either. There's around 15,000 lbs. of ballast centered down low in addition to stabilization so that helps to keep us on an even keel.

@@northernmarineadventures6630 .....Thanks for the reply. I kind of figured that it does have them, but maybe I just missed it. Thanks again.

Thank you

It makes docking so easy. And even helps to back up to a crab pot float!!!

You're welcome, John. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Thank you Carl.

Thanks for the kind words Darryl. Hope you realize your dream. Northern Marine & Nordhavn's are both very nice, and some fortunate owners find a way to make a good purchase.

Thank you. Northern Marine packed a lot into a seaworthy 57' hull.

You're welcome....glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you Justin.

Thank you

Thank you

John, we made a few changes to the boat...here's a quick video taken before we left on our trip to Alaska this summer; th-cam.com/video/cu5V-RIjExI/w-d-xo.html

Thank you!

Why would you say that?

Thanks Sarah.

It sure is! Which 57 do you own?

Thank you for taking a look and the nice comment!
