- Ken Fickett, the builder of Great Harbour Trawlers, walks viewers through "Easy," a well-equipped GH 37 trawler that is currently offered for sale by the original owner. Details at www.greatharbou... or call 352 377 4146
This is the cutest boat I've ever seen.
Residential Washer, Dryer, and Fridge. Properly equipped
Nice looking boat, and an outstanding tour. I never really looked into Great Harbor before, but now they are on my radar. They seem well built and well designed. This 37 seems like it would be a nice little coastal cruiser. I'd probably want something with a deeper draft, more range, and less windage to try cross an ocean, but this boat looks like more than enough to comfortably reach the islands off of the east coast of Florida, or the Gulf coast, Mexico, or South America.

@Boone Matias Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out now.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Boone Matias it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account :D
Have to say, WOW...I liked the presentation shown here...and after seeing it, had to look at one (used) to see what they were about. That said, I couldn't find a 37...but the 47 was NICE. LOVE the actual interior decor and floorplan! It is actually 'perfect' for a retired couple to live-aboard on...not too large, not too small...and best off, a 10-year old GH47 is pricing around $500k, which is a good used 'like-new' pricepoint. THAT SAID, I noticed that a few of the ceiling fiberglass panels were 'curving' due to aging (they are replaceable though)...and those Yanmar's are SERIOUSLY under-powered for that vessel (even as a channel-runner). It also has a SERIOUSLY SHALLOW DRAFT! I really don't think that was even 3-ft of draft, actually...so yeah, you could just about go anywhere called 'river' in it, but the opposing view on that (I didn't get to experience any 'weather' or 'rough seas' in it) is that after seeing the shallow draft, I was VERY unnerved at the stability in, say, 7-10 ft seas in it (especially when it only had what, 140-total horsepower?)...shallow draft, low horsepower equals NOT SET UP for anything beyond rivers or the Sargasso sea...Yes, it has the bow to cut right through 10-ft seas...but if you get broadside FOR A SECOND, I am not sure how the keel is weighted to 'keep you upright' in a hard list.
My only actual complaint I even saw had to do with the fact that my wife and I love diving (SCUBA), and there's just no real room aft to work with tanks or if you surface air dive...would have been nice to have a larger aft deck or cockpit (that wasn't so high and enclosed) or...well...they aren't made anymore, but it didn't fit that requirement for us...very unfortunate, loved the overall layout. 1. More Engine 2. A bit more draft for the height 3. Larger aft deck (for water access)...
500 hp wouldn't make it go appreciably faster. Displacement boats just don't do that. It has positive stability to 110° so if it's knocked down it will come back up. Stability is in the design, not how it appears.
@@rnordquest - as a retired mechanical engineer, I get the concept of 'Center of Gravity'...but not having seen 'distribution data' on the mass, all I could say was 'doesn't LOOK stable in appreciable seas'. As for more power, my point was to forward propulsion in higher tides and currents...not really sure what you mean by 'displacement' boats...all boats have displacement, and if you're referring to 'Hull Speed' or 'Displacement Speed', this is a VERY antiquated term that really doesn't apply to power boats as much as sail boats as a function of speed limitations by wave formation due to motion (formula is 1.34 x Sq Root of the waterline length).
More power gives you more 'push' which gives you better ability to 'power' your way through seas. 100-hp will push you along at 5-kts...but 200-hp will push you at 10-kts...500-hp won't push you much beyond 15-kts (with a beam like that, anyway) but it WILL give you something you need in headwaters...TORQUE to the propeller, which makes for FORWARD MOTION...if it didn't, you wouldn't see 50-ft Nordhavn's with 1800-hp TWIN Caterpillars on them...it's not all about speed...it's about forward motion! A great comparison mv is the Grand Banks 47 EU...it has TWO Cat C-7's making a combined 900 horsepower, can do 20-kts, but with 600-gallons total fuel capacity, it is nothing but a VERY expensive Great Loop boat...
@@skeetersaurus6249 displacement like a freighter ,planning like a speed boat hull
There is no way that boat is only 37'. It has the kind of room that a 50' trawler has plus a 15' wide salon. That's just amazing. The 3' of displacement is great but Andreas brings up a valid point about handling the weather. I have a feeling that she does fine though.
DC actual length on Deck 36’ 10”
Draft does not judge the capabilities or comfort. Thats just one factor out of many more.
Love the GH but, the video would have been nicer if you would have shown a continuous movement from room to room. I am interested in how the interior of the boat flows. It's very hard to get a feel for the boat just showing pictures of spaces. Please walk around next time.
Reminds me of a grannie flat on water
Some of the Dumbest and ILL Educated comments I’ve ever witnessed.
My GH 37 is stable as a parking lot and rolls once than stops after encountering a wake broadside .
As far as being under powerd my GH will do 7 knots using only 1800 rpms of its available 2800 from its 57 horse Yanmars while only burning 1 gph per a engine.
The interior is a matter of preference but I’ve built boats for almost 45 years and can say it is one of thee most properly constructed and thought out boats out there .
The fiberglass lap paneling is genius for upkeep and durability and frankly is what made my wife and I fall in Love with our Little Cottage on the water.
Thank you for your comment. Great to hear!
Drawing less than three ft of water, with an extremely high plot house? I'd be scared witless to take that boat out into any weather.
that is actually a really great set of counter points to the design ! i wonder if anyone will respond.
Andreas Duess these are not intended to cross oceans...only canals and close to shore. Loop, you are respecting the weather channel like your mother and crossing your fingers.
Sorry, I was browsing through old videos and saw your comment. Hard chines, lightweight Nida-Core superstructure, and a 16' beam combine to make the GH37 extremely stable.
You should always respect the weather. As for taking the GH37 offshore.... I'd much rather be on it than just about anything you could suggest. We take great offense to the idea that the GH37 was only intended for canals and puttering around close to shore.
Great Harbour Trawlers no disrespect meant. They are very good looking boats and no doubt built like tanks. I've fished lobsters off the east coast of Canada many years, using 40ft cuddy cabin lobster boats and when the seas hit...even those are tossed around. Would love to see a video of one in a sea but they are hard to find on UA-cam. All the best
"Clogs always happen in the middle of the night." 👨🏫
this is a cool boat
What's a used 40, footer trawler price.
I would like to pick one up.👍🏻
I like the GH37 but I'd prefer the GH47. As for the draft, that's why I like these boats. For me, I wouldn't be on the ocean. I'd have it on the rivers of middle America (Mississippi River, Minnesota River, Ohio River, Missouri River, Arkansas River, Tennessee River, etc. etc. etc. and they're all connected.) Or maybe Lake Superior.
Is Mirage still building the GH37 and 47? I think they are excellent trawlers. Thanks for posting.
Jaxon Depp no longer building GH37 and 47. I have hull #3 of the GH37.
A wonderful small Loop Yacht!! I would love to own something like this!!
I would, however, find a different portlight covering than boob's. That was a major distraction to me.
What is the loop?
@@neilleonard3694 from Wikipedia: "The Great Loop is a continuous waterway that recreational mariners can travel that includes part of the Atlantic, Gulf Intracoastal Waterways, the Great Lakes, Canadian Heritage Canals, and the inland rivers of America's heartland. Anyone who completes the journey is then named an official 'Looper.' "
@@treywest268 : Thank you.
Nice boat! please excuse me for a novice question, but the boat looks like it is really tall (like a lot of boat sticking out of the water) compared to only 3 feet under the water, wouldn't this make it east to tip over in rough seas? I don't know anything about boat design, but it just looks like its top heavy from a somebody who doesn't know anything about boat design. Otherwise looks like the accomodations are awesome!
Heavy and wide. There is also foam above water so its unsinkable
The best!
Any clients who will comment on handling ocean cruising with this vessel....looking to step to a cruiser from 38 Sail.
Kinda looks like a 60 footer that ran into a wall. The fretboard is flat out alarming.
Bwhahaha !!!! That put a picture in my mind right away. Thanks for the laugh.
This is by far one of the funniest looking boats I've ever seen. Yet I would so love to have one. I just don't trust this company because of this video. Why can't companies just be honest. Tell me what it does and stop saying your the best when you know it's not true.
I totally agree, its all too good to be true. And i even think the vessel is ugly.
Interior would cost a bit to made more classy. It's a bit 60/70's looking.
It's called Great Harbor, because it belongs in a harbor not on the sea, a cartoon boat
How much
Isn’t 54hp engines to small for ocean cruising?
A diesel engine may not need a lot of horsepower as long as it has the torque to turn the props efficiently. .
Are u guys still in business
This boat looks like a house 🏠 inside...no boat feel ..
He doesn't say how she handels in the rough waters
Спикер . Лучше бы показывал планировку судна , и меньше болтал . Совершенно невозможно понять , где и что расположено на этом очень комфортном корабле .
looks extremely top heavy...
sea piper is what you want:)
@@michaelsmith9308 The sea piper is a neat boat but it's not remotely in the same category of interior room. It's a narrow ballasted single engine boat too.
4.75 meter beam ??? Ms Chubby hehehe
Different Duck
A ship brokerage that can't seem to be able to afford proper photographs, not to mention a video of their merchandise taken ... :-/
Boat this high with shallow draft is not safe.
Is it fair to say it's not intended for crazy cat-ladies , cause you can never have enough cats even without the catnip-fueled cat orgies , word .
I don't like the look on the outside or the inside I just feel it's out dated and not modern.
I think that is intentional. The outside is fine but the inside could use an interior decorator.
do you mean salon?
no, he meant saloon. A salon is where you get your hair done. A saloon is where you have drinks. There is a long history of drinking and boating. I'll be damned if you get in the way of that. And seriously, its a saloon; always has been.
Thanks for the education. Boat life has to be the ultimate thrill.

hi i must correct the previous comment. it IS salon. not saloon. it comes from the French word Salon, which translates to lounge. saloon is, as he pointed out,a drinking establishment.
@@syddallairedalman9702 saloon (plural saloons)
(US) A tavern, especially in an American Old West setting.
(Britain, dated) A lounge bar in an English public house, contrasted with the public bar.
A pint of beer in the saloon bar costs a penny more than in the public bar.
(Britain) The most common body style for modern cars, with a boot or trunk.
The cabin area of a boat or yacht devoted to seated relaxation, often combined with dining table.
(rail transport) the part of a rail carriage or multiple unit containing seating for passengers.
Dated form of salon (“living room in a house”).
(India) A barbershop (store offering haircuts).
Etymology
From French salon, either augmentative of salle (“room”), or borrowed from Italian salone (“hall”), augmentative form of sala, salla (“room”); in both cases borrowed from a Germanic source such as Old High German sal (“house, hall”), from Proto-Germanic *salą, from Proto-Indo-European *sol-, derived from *sel- (“dwelling”). Doublet of salon.
Honestly, the interior looks cheap and the exterior looks too fat, like me. The engine room also looks way too cramped. Sorry, not something I'd consider.
Great boat on the outside. But it’s the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen inside! Looks like it was decorated by Denny’s restaurants in the 80s 🤦🏼♂️
I just cannot like the appearance of these boats. They look like Lego toys.
Christ, turn your phone sideways when taking pictures or video. How did you managed to survive this long?
Worst boat tour ever!!
Next time, pick somebody who's voice isn't going to bore people to death. Also, a script wouldn't hurt so long as you're just gonna um and ah your way through stuff.
like he's ready to sell Carvell icecream...
This is what you get when you think you can do it yourself and yet have zero talent to carry it off. The point is to sell the boat by making it interesting and you just made me mad because you were so bad at it.
lol
@@greatharbourtrawlers6548 I'm on your side GHT. What the moron misses is, the boat will sell it's self to the right person.
I once modified a 16 ft runabout into a live aboard sailboat and took it from Minnesota to New Orleans, to Mobile Ala. up the Tombigbee and Ten Tom Waterway to the Tennessee River, to the Cumberland River, to the Ohio River, yadda yadda yadda and finally up to MPLS. It was 4,000 miles and took me 7 months.
A lot of people would say to me. "I'll bet that was fun." I say "yeah" but I always think to myself - "IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FUN, if I took that trip on a Great Harbor 37."
As it was, in my boat, it was a long, tough and grueling trip.
13 minutes! You could have done this in 5-7 and probably still been slow and boring.
you commented so many times to make the most unstructured and rude complaints. Get a life.
Look at ur head
Lmao
