Great tour! I was ready not to like this boat from first glance but after the tour I’m in love. So much in 37 ft and the space in engine room is awesome for maintenance!
She is SO much larger on the inside than she looks from the outside! Truly unbelievable. And that galley! Just like home. Actually, even better than my home! Love it.
Nice boat, but boat prices are crazy. You can get more than twice the space, PLUS LAND, for the price of a used boat. Yeah, land comes with taxes, but boats come with docking fees and higher maintenance costs. Much as I would love to buy, it just doesn't make sense -- which is why there are so many sellers.
Yes agreed. I watched a show round of a guy selling his Grand Banks 52 in immaculate condition with loads of extras and he wanted 575, 000 dollars. The price for this in comparison is crazy.
@@patmonks3459 If location means so much (and I am not arguing otherwise), consider that this boat isn't in Vancouver. It's in Florida, where real estate is cheaper. One nice thing about boats is that, if a real bargain is to be had, it can be sailed/trucked/shipped anywhere for a low relative cost. I am simply looking at the value of boats and think them overpriced. I used to live in Florida and the number of used boats at any given time was incredible. Too many people rush into the purchase without realizing how expensive it is to keep them. Maybe, if there weren't such a market for them, boat builders would learn how to build them more efficiently, lowering the cost without sacrificing quality (i.e., safety). There's a reason that the old "definition" of a boat ("a hole in the water into which one pours money") is still applicable today.
@Navy1977 A lot depends on what you want in a boat. Do you want a like-new Kadey-Krogen, or can you get by with a Bayliner 45 that's 40 years old, and needs some TLC. Yes moorage can be an issue 8n the city. These days with so ,uch remote working you can be based outside the city. There are numerous liveaboards anchored around the city, too. There are many options at every price point.
Nice tour, nice boat. These are great boats and there’s just not enough of them out there. And they are pricey. I think they’ve spent too much time on the 35. They could probably build a ton of these N37’s and always have buyers. They’re also shallow draft. The GH’s are also nice but I think prone to being blown around by the wind. I always wondered why they didn’t offer a drop down keel on the GH’s. I’m pretty sure they are all thick solid glass below the waterline. Incredibly safe and efficient. A lot of the N37’s have a washer/dryer under the forward part of the kitchen island.👍
Wow....I was already impressed with the roominess of the Bosun's locker.....and then you took us into the engine room......so awesome for a 37 footer. I love the thick rubber strip surrounding the entire boat. She's got a draft of under 3' and a range of 1500nm.....And I read on the GH website that some had even travelled to Hawaii, obv with external fuel bladders, but that is true blue water capability. Those little 54 HP Yanmar engines are relatively cheap to replace too. There's so much to love about this boat. Thx for bringing her to us :)
Great Harbors tend to really do the rocking horse thing if out at sea in the open ocean. Flat bottom. Interior isn't very luxurious for that kind of money. $365,000 or so will definitely buy a whole lot of beautiful boat any day of the week. For me to justify the required near-$365 grand cash to buy this i would have to be Florida's greatest boat detailer like Brian. He can afford anything!
Several years ago Great Harbor motored an N37 from Gainesville to Honolulu for a charter fishing customer delivery. They had a lot of 5 gal plastic containers of diesel fuel tied on board when they headed west from Panama. Interestingly, Great Harbor boats will not sink. You can fill to over flowing & they will stll float. Worth every penny.
Nice boat, and thanks for the video. That's likely never going to sell at that price though - this will be one of those "Dutch Auction" games where the price keeps coming down over time. The engine room is clean but not well organized, and the finishes are good but not top-end. There's always a tradeoff with a full displacement boat - go slow (maybe 8kts) and save fuel to increase range, but you still have space for a lot of provisions. And you'll soon become aware of the value of some sort of stabilizer system. Semi-displacement lets you go faster and get out of the weather - at the expense of less range and probably less storage space. No perfect boat. To keep the admiral happy we like a boat that gets to the next marina before the gift shop closes... 😁
Yeah, that engine room - love the battery cutoff switch wayyy in the corner where you can't reach it when you need to get to it quick. Our surveyor would give this boat an instant fail for that. And better sit down when you hear the price of Yanmar parts for those older engines. Thanks for showing us the quirky boat! It's always fun to see the seller's 😁 fantasyland dreams of asking price.
I've ran into a couple of these at marinas we've stayed at in St Augustine, and The Hammocks at Palm coast. Cool trawlers I'll pretend I didnt see a green pool noodle cut and ziptied around a propshaft seal. Typical old man fix, ha. But solid nice boat overall I'm sure.
@Navy1977 I have not.I am not very computer literate. I will ask someone to help. Thanks.hoping someone would contact me with a cheap boat they want to get rid of due to maintenance costs
The 1st Great Harbor was actually the GH37 (double decker), not the N37. I believe the second was the GH47, and the N37 came after. These are not great sea boats, because of their relatively flat bottom they tend to “snap-roll.” But great for inshore, shallow water cruising.
This boat camnot make it to Honolulu. 500 gallons diesel onboard. You would need 100 of those 5 gallon buckets to get there. Unless you can hit up a ship along the way. Hahaha
Nice boat... poorly maintained/up-kept for the price. This seems like it has been used hard and put away wet. I love Great Harbour yachts and this isn't doing the brand much justice. So disappointing to watch.
