Somebody tapped a 1/2" flushing connection in to the plastic lid of the sea stranger! see it at 4:16 good way to sink your boat!

No exterior teak to maintain. Huge plus right there. As the owner of an Albin I love a single diesel though a little more HP would be a good option. Loads of access room with the single. Fuel tankage? Freshwater tankage?, blackwater tankage? This is what is important in a cruising boat, not speed. Amusing to see to see how many comments are from people who know nothing about boats or have at best only owned a trailerboat. Trawlers like this are not built for marina hopping day trips. They are designed to be self supporting for days at a time & have a range of hundreds of miles.

I like the large proportion of sheltered interior space to be out of the weather. Are flying bridges really all that useful especially considering the extra costs?
pacificNWboater
pacificNWboater - 6 years ago
Even in the "rainy" PNW, those that love flying bridges use them all the time, no matter the weather. They typically do provide the most commanding view from a vessel and are easily worth the cost to those that want them.

230 hp ? Seems a bit under powered. ....by about 100 hp.
DC
DC - 6 years ago
I think the first 45's came with 255 hp. Mine came with a 355 and a software tweak will bring it up to 400 but that voids the warrantee. When I have to get out of the way of a ferry or cargo ship the 355hp cummins moves the boat at over 11 knots and it gets there pretty quickly. I believe that all of the new NP45's come with the QSB6.7, 355hp Turbo Charged Cummins as standard. I believe that you can order other engines, even twins. I've heard Trevor tell people that they will do whatever you want.

You're very welcome. If you'd like to delve more deeply into this topic, Robert Beebe's book 'Voyaging Under Power' has a chapter devoted to "Technicalities of the Seagoing Motorboat," and it has many of the formulas, speed:power:range curves, etc. that come into play for design decisions. It's a fascinating book that includes narratives of how Captain Beebe's plans for building Passagemaker came to be, anecdotes from his voyages, etc. It also has new sections written by James Leishman and illustrations by Jeff Leishman. (I'm not sure if it's still in print; my Third Edition is copyrighted 1994.)

The hull speed for a boat with a waterline length of 43 to 45 feet is only 8.7 to 8.9 knots, and the boat could be easily driven at that speed with less than 120 horsepower. Add 130 HP to cover acceleration to hull speed, powering into head seas, etc. and the standard 250 HP Cummins seems pretty good. More power would just waste fuel. You could run at lower power to match the fuel burn of the standard engine, but running diesel engines at low power for extended periods is hard on them.

Lol, good catch! They fixed mine during commissioning and now they are perfect. I'm sure Trevor, (the owner of NPY) was very embarrassed by it and has had a few words with the factory. You're going to find issues like that on any new boat. Not that it's OK but it does happen. The thing that you need to be concerned with is the service after the fact. Trevor has been great. I've owned other new boats and have had a much different experience. You can't go wrong with North Pacific. I've been cruising the PNW for the last couple of months without any issues and I love the boat. The fit and finish is better than some of the more expensive brands. I did some side by side comparisons at the Seattle and Bremerton boat shows and was pleasantly surprised.

Just one opinion but I think the boat looks old fashioned both inside and out.

peggyt1243 - 6 years ago
Well SeikiBrian it seems we have come full circle. Perhaps we can agree that your taste and mine are opposite and just leave it at that.
SeikiBrian
SeikiBrian - 6 years ago
Which brings us back to MY original point: One man's "old fashioned" is another man's "classic" and "functional." (And yes, the use of teak in humid environments has a functional element, so your comment that "orangey brown wood has nothing to do with reliability or functionality" is incorrect.)
peggyt1243
peggyt1243 - 6 years ago
... which brings us back to my original point. This boat looks old fashioned although you call it "traditional". .
SeikiBrian

peggyt1234 "Wood can also be chocolate brown, dove grey, and other colors"

Yes, but certain woods are traditionally used in boatbuilding because of their characteristics: teak and holly for soles, caulked-teak decks (which this one doesn't have), teak furniture... Hmmm; teak seems to be a theme in boatbuilding. Oak, pine, ebony? Not so much.
peggyt1243
peggyt1243 - 6 years ago

SeikiBrian
SeikiBrian - 6 years ago
peggy1234 "orangey brown wood has nothing to do with reliability or functionality."

Well, that would be more a part of the "classic" side of the equation, but it does also have something to do with functionality: wood is easy to repair, materials are readily available, and almost anyplace you go in the world there are carpenters and woodworkers. Fiberglass layers and composite technicians? Not so much.
peggyt1243

I am not disagreeing with you but orangey brown wood has nothing to do with reliability or functionality.
SeikiBrian
SeikiBrian - 6 years ago
One man's "old fashioned" is another man's "classic" and "functional." The sea hasn't changed, and what worked 50 years ago still works today. Many buyers of "modern" boats have found that they're only suited for looking at while berthed at the local marina.

I really enjoyed watching the tour of this boat.however it did leave me with one important question at least important to me. Why hasn't the yacht building industry moved to a jet drive propulsion over the older slower prop driven systems? the US navy has been using the jet drive in patrol boats the size of most yachts built today. why haven't the civilian boat builder followed suit?
SeikiBrian
SeikiBrian - 6 years ago
Andy Sjostrom "Why hasn't the yacht building industry moved to a jet drive propulsion over the older slower prop driven systems?"

Because most yachts are intended for long range cruising, and propellers running at lower RPM are more fuel efficient than jet drives, giving longer range for the same amount of fuel.
SeikiBrian
SeikiBrian - 6 years ago
Dale Elder, it's not that governments don't care about cost, it's that they use (or try to use) the best tool for the job. On some patrol boats that means jet drives for higher speeds and shallow draft, at the cost of lower efficiency.
ed plow
ed plow - 6 years ago
IF YOU DID YOUR HOMEWORK YOU WOULD KNOW THAT JET D RIVE BOATS ARE DEPENDENT ON HIGH SPEED ENGINES NOT A 2500 RPM DIESEL WILL NOT WORK . OK FOR A JET SKI WITH A 5000 RPM ENGINE .AND THE JET IS 33% LESS EFFIEIENT. THUS SUCKS FUEL
DC
DC - 6 years ago
They have on some go fast boats. I don't think it makes much sense for a displacement hull due to the inherent speed limitation.

I don't think that the US navy has to worry much about cost or fuel consumption.
Dale Elder
Dale Elder - 6 years ago
As a power engineer jet drives are way less efficient over propellers. a displacement hull and a diesel engine with a prop is the the most effeicient way to get around. Governments may use jet cause money means nothing to a government, just tax people more they dont care.
James McCarthyNH
James McCarthyNH - 6 years ago
jet drives are very pricey and more maintenance

The yacht is "cute". It's design has "character". Bottom line? Beauuuuutiful! ;<)
Would liked to have seen the range, top speed, and cruising speeds.
DC
DC - 6 years ago
400 gallons of fuel gets you about 1100 miles at 7 knots; 680 miles at 8 knots, both with a 10% reserve. Cruising speed is 7-9 knots; top speed is about 11 knots. With a change in the software 12 knots but that invalidates the Cummins warrantee. The engine can be bumped up to 400 hp which gets 13 knots. You can also order two engines which gets you about 16 knots, if my memory serves me correctly. It all just costs more money. I came from a 30 knot Carver C34 and enjoy setting a course at 7.5 knots while I relax on deck. I don't miss the fast boat not even one little bit. By the way, I'm a customer not an employee of North Pacific; although I do try to help them out because I like their products and the company. I've owned my own company for 30 years and I always appreciate a well run company with quality products and/or service. Cheers! :-)

Does the NP49 have a soft chine? I'm surprised that you stabilized the boat.
SeikiBrian
SeikiBrian - 6 years ago
DC "I'm surprised that you stabilized the boat."

Why are you surprised? As Robert Bebe proved with Passagemaker, stabilization is essential for safe, comfortable voyaging under power. Sailboats are stabilized by the wind against the sails, but seagoing power boats need some sort of additional stabilization over and above hull design: a hull that's optimized for efficient movement through the water isn't the best for reducing roll, and one that resists roll in mild sea states is going to be too stiff when things get rough. Some form of stabilizer -- whether active fins, an internal gyro, or outriggers and flopper-stoppers -- gives the best of both worlds.

I get about 3 gph at 8 knots, 2 gph at 7knots. These are average values. If I did the math right that is about 3 and 4 mpg respectively. If you check me don't forget to convert knots to miles. About 1.15 miles/knot

pacificNWboater

While running at night there are no reflections from instrument lights. And some say a wave over the bow would be less likely to “cave in” a window. Other than that it’s a traditional workboat aesthetic. We think it looks great on some boats, including this one.

If not already equipped with stabilizers a Magnus stabilizer by RS Marine would improve her sea worthiness even more. No stabilizing needed? It will fold away itself. Check out www.rotorswing.com or www.demo-yacht-arnolda.com for my personal blog. For an explanatory video go to www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dxNaS8p1rI&t=35s or www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZChcHfdB6I

Rein - Like many other boaters in North America we have not heard of RotorSwing before. I took a look at the links you provided and am very impressed. In fact I am quite interested as we live and workaboard a very round-bottomed Cheoy Lee 46 Long Range Cruiser. Hence we are prone to uncomfortable rolling in certain sea conditions!
