Ted Brewer's boats are just beautiful. Before Ted had died, I had hired Ted to help me out with the conversion of a Canadian Navy Whaler to a motorsailor, the Nimble was used as the basis of the conversion. He was a wonderful man, not an ounce of pretension in his bones, easy to talk to. He mentioned he wished he could travel to see the boat when done, but he figured that wouldn't be possible. The boat is in the water, and now working on the interior.
early in the vid I saw the price and thought it was very overpriced, but after seeing all the upkeep and upgrade on it, I realize at 25K, it's a steal.
If I could afford it, I would buy it tomorrow. It's absolutely beautiful. I've been seeing a lot more people sailing around the world in boats this size. People have really figured out the old adage, "Go small, go now."
😂Brilliant Salty Dawg! 🐙Sailing in “bad weather” is terrifying no matter what the weight of your boat 😂 hey I think your mom is calling you. Spaghetti is ready 🤡
@TOMVUTHEPIMP Sam Holmes sailed from California to Hawaii in a Ranger 23. Personally, I've always loved "adverse" weather. There's just something about being lost in the sound of a torrential downpour and merging with the water as you get soaked to the core. Growing up in Florida in the late 80s and early 90s really taught me to appreciate a good soaking. Sure, I busted some teeth in the ocean, but I've never been afraid of it.
Don’t get me started on the Sven Yrvind UA-cam shell game. 🤨Nonsense! 🥸The fact that you think he’s some sort of sailing wizard tells me how little you know. There are many “salty dawgs” that have experience but all you have to do is watch his daily gibberish to see he’s playing the fantasy spectacle to get over on UA-cam views. This is not real boat building nor boat restoration 👎
Saw one of these Nimble 25 at the Benjamins in the North Channel of Lake Huron..... Looked at it enviously from my Sandpiper 565 and have wanted one ever since. One of the most beautiful classic styles.
I've been watching this boat for a good year. Dreams of adventure, but just not the right time to buy for me. You have a great narration voice and persona. Ill be checking in time to time!
Beautiful boat. My father had a Bruce Roberts 21' longboat for quite a while. Lots go good memories on it. He currently has an Albin 25 trawler. He is slowly doing the loop and enjoys day trip on a lake in NC.
@@motorcityboatwerks I was using Siri and dictation and it didn’t quite come out right but I edited it saying that I thought they were pretty nice and practical boats lol this is back in 1977
Being that far North, it would be tempting to sail through the Great Lakes up to Disko Bay then start heading back South. What a beautiful boat, thank you sir.
Very nice little boat looks very capable and comfortable. It's not so much a question of what the boat is capable of but of what the crew are capable of.
Wow... I love this boat... Such a classic look... great lines... It is a showpiece to be proud of... I live in Clearwater Florida but I have never heard of this or seen one... Thank you so much for bringing it to my attention. It's amazing... Pilot House... Shoal draft... Trailerable... Looks to be in immaculate condition...You now have a new subscriber to your channel...👍
Fantastic 😁 This is what I love to hear. Making friends and influencing people. Please help spread the word about the channel. And thanks for the comment 👍👍
They were made in Odessa FL, in Pasco County. On the west side of Gunn Highway approaching from the south and just short of the old flea market. They used to sit the hull molds and hulls outside a pretty small shed at the side of the road! You may be confused with Compac yachts who made up to 28' boats in Largo/Clearwater Hurcules Avenue area.
Yer Enthusiasm is Infectious and I might add, DANGEROUS! I keep hearing everyone who has said that a Boat is just a hole in the water you dump money into! BUT!!! I want one! lol!
Because to check out some of my other videos and subscribe to the channel 👍😁 thus not your ordinary boat restoration channel but something EXTRA special
Right Scott ! this is why I’d didn’t buy the boat. What a great deal , but I already have several and need to stay focused. My is someone will see this and find the boat they need 😁
wow - and to think they were made right in clearwater where i lived for ages. love this little boat and wow! what amazing shape. price seems quite reasonable.
I concur. With the mast/tabernacle combination, outboard motor, and flat bottom it should have no problem navigating any part of the Mississippi and shallows. Fueling will be easy as it can use gasoline from anywhere. However to use anywhere? No way. Too light, no keel to speak of to keep it tracking well and tacking would be difficult as a solo sailor. There is not enough room for fuel & potable water storage or for refrigerated or frozen food. There is no survival gear or advanced electronics (chart plotter, AIS, etc.) evident and definitely no radar. How do you recharge the batteries? That v-berth has me feeling claustrophobic and I served on submarines in the Navy! The two things about her that are nice is the protected pilot house & helm and the bow thruster. Cannot picture her and crew making a long passage.
June 16 Route to Cedar Key might involve parking Lot for either car or Boat. 500or 600 miles to Florida. Park Boats has a local stowage in Lil Washington. I like Canoeing; yet range for my age limited.

One of my favourite books by far. I came across an original National Geographic that had his first instalment in it. Absolutely amazing what this kid saw during his travels, way before the world got so small.
25 ft boat can take you anywhere you want to go. At least if you ask the Norwegian who sailed a 22 ft sailboat to Antarctica back in late 1990's. I think it was in 98/99. He called his boat "Berserk" and I met him by the coasts of Antarctica while sailing tourists from Argentina to this very isolated place. Unfortunately I don't remember his name. A wild man, this Norwegian, following his dreams.
As long as it can get me to Jobbie Nooner..........I am good with it. Joe get that boat in the lake dude you only have weeks left in the season......Have a great week end.
If I owned this boat, she would quite possibly never see the ocean. With her shallow draft and trailer-ability, you could spend a lifetime exploring the lakes and waterways of America and with that little diesel stove you could include Canada and Alaska. Several lifetimes, actually. Time for a small, diesel/multi-fuel outboard with with reduction box and a decent size prop. For a boat of this heft and windage, it’s low-end thrust you need to get you home against a stiff headwind.
Nice boat great review. I heard owning a boat is similar to draining one’s bank account. Is moring inexpensive on the East Coast of the USA? Where is the cheapest docking for this size boat/East Coast? Thx and great review
Watch my other videos about Tips and Mistakes of boat restoration and you will see that anyone who is draining their bank account is not planning ahead or following a budget 😁👍
How hard is it to stand up and fold down that mast? Is it a 1 person job? I think this is about the size I'd like as long as it was easily trailerable.
Stepping any mast is a challenge when you’re by yourself. 😁But with careful planning and some mechanical advantage it can be done safely and easily. Google: Gin Pole Step Mast. 👍😁In the mean time use it without the mast 😎
You like sailboats but you may have never heard of Ted Brewer. Some Ford Mustang car lovers may also not know of Carrol Shelby, I currently own a Catalina 36 and hear other owners always are talking about some guy named Frank Butler. Sparkman and Stephens, Irwin, Perry are thrown around boat owners like they are somebodies. 😂😂😂😂😂 Nice video and nice boat. Thanks
Just took a newer, fiberglass, 32' Grand Banks from Ilwaco Wa. over the Columbia River bar on an outgoing tide earl in the morning to head up to Alaska to fish. , It's Hull speed is around 9 knots, GPS said otherwise thought on this scary trip, over 19 nmph almost bumping 20 knots. Never again. Kudos to Grand Banks hull design and never underestimate the wrath of the ocean, no matter what boat.
Yes it could but the sea motion would not make it as comfortable as a longer waterline length. More weight in a keel boat equals a dampened boat motion
My time in blue water boating gave me the opinion that in some situations, small is better than big. I'd rather ride one swell than two or three at a time. A mountain of water is like a roller-coaster: up-n-over fun.

Beautiful, this has the only shortcoming I see on a lot of boats is the lack of dingy storage.
Hard to argue this is a shortcoming in a 25 foot boat. More like a design parameter 😂
