Swampfox17, Our Vagabond is a 1992 also. We have owned it since 2013 and needed to complete a number projects to bring her together but have had a lot of fun with it and we have trailed it all over the country. We settled now in Southern Mississippi and plan on selling next year and...

Swampfox17, Good to hear from you. I am out on the road traveling this week and do not have access to my paper work so my answer will be a guess. Our boat with a 30hp merc and gear probably tips the scales at around 3200lb. Trailer(Tandem axle aluminum) around 800lb for a tow weight of...

Vagabond Richard, Not familiar with any easy conversions of sailboats but have seen some custom pilot houses completed on 25ft hulls with the swing keels due to their relative shallow draft. Another nice cruising hull boat I had some experience is the Albin 25. A couple of years ago there...

Nimble Arctic Hey Richard, I have seen a couple of Nimble Arctic's and believe they are the 25ft. sail configuration?? My Vagabond is the 20ft hull as can be found on other Nimble boats of similar length whether trawler style or sail version without the pilot house. If I recall correctly...

Vagabond Tom, Good Luck!! Bob

Vagabond Tom, There can be a little roll when anchored due to the flat bottom. We tend to stay in protected waters but would be ok on flat seas. Underway she can roll with the waves but maintain a comfortable heading. The lack of a deeper keel will keep you busy steering in the wind. I...

They are very well constructed boats. I would look for a possible weak deck in the cockpit, side window operation, and missing parts. Our boat was found to be very heavily built and we love this little cruiser. It can be a little bit difficult to operate when docking due to the flat bottom...

Marvin, I also wondered if I would miss the sails but I found backwater and river travel as my calling. We motored more with our sailboat n sheltered waters than I would like to admit, for a bunch of reasons, one being no wind when we wanted to go.

Marvin, We lived on our Pacific Seacraft 25 for 8 months and it had less cabin space than the Nimble Vagabond 20. I am a big advocate of small boats for travel. I have owned big ones too but small will take you back into waters the big boys can never reach. Of course you give up comforts...

We purchased our Vagabond with an almost new trailer for $3500. It was a good bargain, but the 30hp Suzuki less than three years old was trashed and would have cost over 2g to rebuild it. So we purchased a 30hp Merc and had it installed. The 10hp will work fine for you in relatively calm...

Marvinjanson, Yes we have the Vagabond Trawler. We named it Tadpole and have been doing misc renovations. We plan on taking it down to the Gulf coast this summer. Ask any questions you may have about the boat. We took it up to Iowa last summer and had a blast using it on the inland...

Hi, We recently sold our Pacific Seacraft sailboat and purchased a Nimble Vagabond pocket trawler. We had spent 6 months on the inland rivers living on our sailboat and loved the time spent on the sailboat but decided a small trawler would fit the bill for future adventure. I grew up on...
