GADABOUT is as close to a new boat as you can get, only better. Purchased new from the dealer in August of 2020 and then commissioned, she has only 100 hours on her. The owners have decided boating is not for them and this presents a terrific opportunity for someone to get a boat that is essentially new, but has the equipment needed to avoid supply chain issues and take off immediately.
Equipped with a 270 hp Volvo diesel, Northern Lights Genset, RIB Inflatable on a Seawise mount w/8hp Tohatsu and Hydronic heating. Volvo engine has extended five year/1000 hr transferable warranty. And she was hauled out and repainted including PropSpeed on all the underwater metal in Mar 2022. While Nordic Tugs are styled like a traditional boat, they are engineered to be very modern. He top speed is rated at 17kts with a cruising speed on 8-14kts. She is a blend of beautiful and modern function that is widely appreciated throughout the PNW.
If you’ve been looking for a super clean, barely used boat for cruising this year, come over to Bainbridge Island and take a look at GADABOUT.

The exterior of the boat is composed of easy to maintain materials and has storage compartments for all of your docking equipment. The cabin top has a generous amount of space to carry a couple of kayaks, deck chairs, crab pots, large cooler or other assorted gear. The rails are extra large 1 1/4 in polished stainless steel and netting has been installed to keep your kids or furry friends safe.There is a shower in the cockpit to clean their paws when returning from the beach.
