Howdy guys and gals, I came across another Nomad a couple months ago here in Florida, she's in rough shape, but nothing a little effort and elbow grease can't fix. In this video we get the 1st layer of grime off her and install an outboard on her transom. I'll keep posting videos of the project as I get to it.
For those interested, yes this boat is for sale. It's now located at my home in Minnesota. As much as I love the Nimbles, I have too many boats and the Vagabond is the keeper. There seems to be way more people looking for a Nomad than available. The price will continue to go up as I work on it and spring comes. If you're up to a project, this would probably be the best deal you'll ever find on one anymore.

I have seen you get in to some very shallow conditions where a poling platform could be very handy. It could prevent you from having to get in the water and pull. If you leave a boat in Fla it could pay for itself in fuel savings in a few years by not having to pull one back and forth. As long as you don't have to pay storage. But leaving it in the care of a master aluminum welder might not be a bad idea. He worked wonders on your other one.

Question...I have seen these Nomads on the Great Loop and have always wondered...what happens when you catch a wave and flood the forward cockpit? On our Loop, we ran into these kind of conditions unavoidably a few times in our Ranger 25 and got me to wondering....keep up the great videos.
@TheOldGrouch
@TheOldGrouch Год назад
There are cockpit scuppers on front and rear cockpits that drain just fine. They have one way valves so water goes out easily without coming in. One on each side of the front drains well and the rears do a good job as seen in the pressure washing. The front outside flapper valves can be replaced easily and the rear scuppers can be bought from west marine or Amazon pretty cheaply as they are not native to Nimbles (common parts.)
@backwatersandbackroads
@backwatersandbackroads Год назад
Yes, more/less what grouch said ;) the sides of the Nomad are extremely high (makes it a hard boat to get in and out of) honestly, I think the front could be swamped and it wouldn't sink the boat. Getting the interior swamped might get you in trouble.

Every Nimble I've ever seen has dark-colored paint and it's always terribly oxidized with that white chalky residue. Unless there are better paints today than they used when those were made, go with white. Just a suggestion from a random guy on the internet.
