NORUMBEGA is an extremely nice, well executed custom example of the Lowell Brothers 43, a highly regarded hull among commercial fishermen, from Bruce Farrin’s Boat Shop in Walpole, Maine. The hull’s reputation as an excellent sea boat was the reason her owner chose it as the platform for this handsome Downeast flybridge yacht. She features top of the line equipment, superb joinery, and a practical attention to detail not found in many of today’s production boats.
This handsome yacht is capable of a solid and efficient 20kt cruise from her 1200hp MAN diesel and is infinitely maneuverable around the dock with her high horsepower hydraulic bow and stern thrusters. NORUMBEGA deserves to be at the top of any Downeast yacht buyers list.
Key Features • 1200Hp MAN with less than 300hrs • Spirited 21kt cruise and 24kt max • 12kW generator with under 200hrs • Hydraulic Bow and Stern thrusters • Top of the line build quality and equipment • Fully custom boat on a proven commercial hull • Impeccable condition throughout
