My wife and I were the original owners of LeeLoo and had her in the Great Lakes until we sold her 2006. We had many great trips in LeeLoo including a long honeymoon cruise in the Upper Great Lakes in 1999. We sold her when life and kids took our priorities in a new direction. Glad to come across this video and see how great she still looks all these years later. We hope to see her again out on the water one day in the future. Thanks for the walk through.
We often get attached to boats as they hold so many memories. I am glad you stumbled on my video and hopefully it triggered many happy trips down memory lane for you. This was my first time getting on a Nordic Tug, but I certainly see the appeal. This one has been well looked after and while she may be over 20 years old now, my money is on her being around for another 20 years and then some! Thanks for watching and for reaching out.
Thank you my friend for all your great show and tell. The Nortic Tugs are one of my Favorites to look at and see. A guy just a couple of slips away from my 24 foot (Larson Cabrio) I have and now listed for SALE through a local broker. It is a (2005) has a (5.7) GM Gas engine. Volvo outdrive. I pull it out every year service and paint outdrive. (Bottom is painted also)The lower unit gear OIL is soo,so important to CHANGE. I have added a second Fuel filter. Boat carries (84 gallon fuel) (20 gallon water storage)Hot water heater unit (18 gallon waste tank) only can pump out the sewer pump on the dock. NO discharge to overboard. Second berth under the helm. TV in front on the bulkhead . It has a power anchor ( Maxwell) spot light on the bow rail over the anchor. I am going to do a video like you going over my vessel. It comes with a twin axle OIL bath bearing for wheels. All just saying this because you sell vessels. I so badly want to sell her. Asking ($31.000) brokers advice. We rented a 26 foot Nortic Tug from (ABC yacht charters) Anacortes, Washington State. Cruising all over the San Juan island's On the 26 Foot Tug we Rented. You had to Dip Stick the Fuel tank. NO fuel level GAGE. I was shocked that the fuel tank never seemed to drop. Finally after we had cruised through the North end of the Island chain. On the way back the fuel tank started to drop. Those Nortic Tugs do not burn Diesel at all. I would buy one if I was looking to upgrade from my Larson 24 foot
Thanks for the compliments and good luck with the sale of your boat. You are right about the Nordic Tug and the fuel. Go easy on the throttle, and these boats will just sip the fuel. They can get crazy amount of miles per tank, especially for such a relatively small boat.
Thanks Andrew. There was no mention of a trailer with this one, but I did think it would be super easy to deliver by road anywhere in the country. Opens up more opportunities when selling, but also more opportunities for cruising.
Another comment would like to add. Sense I Rented the (26 foot Tug) for anyone wondering about engine noise underway. At full throttle you could barely HEAR the engine purr along. Very very QUIET. The (26 foot) had a (4 cylinder Diesel) but the sound dampening that Nortic Tugs do for Engine room sound to above is like you say.I have rented one I know the sound dampening Nortic Tugs do around and above engine. They are very QUIET sounding underway. A guy on my Dock has the (26 foot one) he loves it. They do a lot of cruising. I found even without Bow trusting, she still was very controllable. Now I will say when I was in the US Army was stationed on a (ST) 45 foot Tug. Yes the US Army has vessels. The unit was full of (LCM-8s) main vessels for the Transpersonal company. I learned how to dock the (45 foot) Tug from an excellent Sargent who served in WW-2. He was in the Coral Sea fighting. He was an expert at docking small vessels. He showed me how to handle a rudder without a bow thruster. We always hooked up the spring line FIRST.
I love joysticks and bow/stern thrusters etc, but I still think everyone should know how to dock without the aids for when or if they ever fail. Sounds like you have had many adventures on the water, and hopefully you get a Nordic Tug of your own some day to keep that journey going.
@@GarnockReviews thank you so much wish I was down there were your at. Loved visiting Florida when In-laws had home in Port Saint Lucie. It was a gated community. The sliding door to the patio was a 3 part. I loved looking at the large great private owned vessels.
Damn fine little bachelor boat.. A little "get away from it all" machine.. I am in Washington state it would be nice to bring her back and run her on the Columbia or in the sound.. thanks brother..
Thanks 🤠 I've got another video going live very soon of a great little weekend escape boat, a 2019 Jeanneau NC895. Filmed it over the weekend and miss being onboard already 😁
@@GarnockReviews it is an addiction they you will never rid yourself of.. I am 70 now and not so steady any more and on a fixed income now I can not afford the upkeep of a good boat.. But the call of the seas, the rivers and bays is always close at hand for me.. any chance I get to go out I am there. I still dream of the days as a youth I plied the seven seas.. the adventures, the feeling of freedom one gets when all you see about you is nothing but water.. My last great little adventure was 8 years ago when my friend last took us around the San Juan's up in the puget sounds We used to go twice every year mucking around the islands until his death.. Well I am yabba yabbaing to much.. thanks for your hard work my brother.. I do appreciate it..
@@tinkmarshino I've been around boats all my life but haven't owned one myself. My Dad and I ran our own boat sales business for around 10 years until the world gave up in 2008. These days, my channel allows me to mess with boats without costing me an arm and a leg, but never say never........maybe one day I will get on the water on my own boat 😉
@@GarnockReviews Man that is tough.. have the run of boats you could take out then you had the business. Then stuck not having one.. someday brother.. you will have another and your joy will be fulfilled. Carry on and keep looking up..
Glad you enjoyed it. I don't know the full details yet, but I'm supposed to be filming a Nordic Tug 37 this month to share with everyone. Got a Ranger Tug R23 getting lined up too 😉
I can't recall if she had a generator or not, and since she is now sold the listing is no longer there to check. However, she had AC throughout for sure.
Thanks David. This one was recently sold but as a guide, the asking price was $133,500. She was a great boat for her size, with lots of storage and comfort. Being easily road transportable, it makes these boats open to wider audiences more, so they don't typically stay for sale for long.
Unfortunately this one is sold. However, if you can email me your contact info I can have a few of my broker friends see if they can help track something down for you. My email is Boats@GarnockReviews.com
I really think the 32 is a fantastic trawler. IMHO a 100-125 hp engine would do fine and extend the range a great deal. A great loop boat for sure, how about hitting the southern islands. or s. pacific?
These trawlers have a maximum hull speed by design. Even if this one had 1000hp, it wouldn't go much faster than 125hp. If you have enough power to push through tides and cruise at a good hull speed, there is no need to go higher. I'd enjoy taking this one island hoping and exploring new bays and coves 🤠
Absolutely unimpressed with Nordic Tugs ! Nowhere to sit comfortably. The microwave nearly on the floor. One mini stateroom. The list goes on for $200,000 +/-. So many great 32 footers for the same money. Thirty two feet and THIS is what you get.

Nice She looks like a great Boat I bet she Holds many great memories
The separate stand up shower is impressive. That's a real plus.
It's a rare find in a boat this size 🤠
Nice little walk around....well done

These little guys are the real deal and especially so if it comes with a trailer which for this length is a must.

Hermoso barco
2500 hours on the clock. Considering the millage it has done it looks great.
I agree 100% This one is now sold and was in very much high demand 🤠
Omg finally a reasonably fair price for North America they normally rip the living daylights out of you.😊
Glad you enjoyed it. I don't know the full details yet, but I'm supposed to be filming a Nordic Tug 37 this month to share with everyone. Got a Ranger Tug R23 getting lined up too 😉
No generator? No HVAC?
I can't recall if she had a generator or not, and since she is now sold the listing is no longer there to check. However, she had AC throughout for sure.

@@GarnockReviews why do Nordic tug put some much HP in them...what 250?
They are built in Washington State. I would think they go for extra power for the strong tides and current in that neck of the woods.
Absolutely unimpressed with Nordic Tugs ! Nowhere to sit comfortably. The microwave nearly on the floor. One mini stateroom. The list goes on for $200,000 +/-. So many great 32 footers for the same money. Thirty two feet and THIS is what you get.
