That looks to be a nicely crafted vessel. And comfortablely traditional in its lay out.
Probably well suited to those northwestern waters.

Does it have the conventional trawlers single engine and prop?

If you are content with slower cruising speeds, good economy at slower speeds but fairly high fuel consumption at medium to upper speeds. Some extra challenges when maneuvering at slow speeds. This configuration can be a very satisfactory type. It will have relitivaly compact living layout. It will have a rather stout construction, and a solid feel under way and at dockside.
Easy to heat inside. Well set up for operating from indoors. Well suited for a small close crew.

This type of boats are well established in the PNW and northward. And for good reasons.

You can probably sense that I have mixed feelings about the traditional trawler type.
I've become a multihull convert. And would look for an aluminum hulled well setup cruising catamaran. The reasons, way better operating qualities, better economy, way higher cruising speeds, easer handleing in close quarters, two smaller engines giving redundancy for safety, spaced out accomadations for more privacy for a larger crew. Etc. but that's me.

I had thought Nordic Tugs were built in Taiwan, but a glance at there website indicated Thay are built in the U S.

I haven't been aboard Nordic Tugs, so what do I know. I did my season of sailing in Alaska in a Lapworth 36, and helped deliver a Coronado 43 across the gulf. Both vessels not well suited to the waters at all.

I'm interested in hearing the views of those with more experience in these boats.
