General model description:
The North Pacific 43′ Pilothouse makes an excellent long range coastal cruiser or live aboard. With more than 60 ordered, this model has proven itself over the years in waters from California to Alaska and Florida to New Brunswick. The full beam salon and galley is large and can compare in size with many boats in the 50′ range. The raised pilothouse is completely separate from the salon and above the staterooms, adding extra interior space. This also makes the pilothouse an excellent area to cruise from with great visibility. There are two well-appointed and comfortable staterooms. A large head with plenty of counter space and a generous separate shower stall makes life aboard easy. A flybridge is standard on all NP43s making a great place to cruise or enjoy a nice evening. A fully covered aft deck and large swim platform also adds a great deal of useful space. Countless hours were spent ensuring that all equipment and wiring runs are easy to access and maintain; something very important to experienced boat owners. Achieves 4 mpg at 6 kts and nearly 2 mpg at 7 kts the NP43 is also economical to operate and has a range of over 1200nm. The single Cummins 5.9L diesel engine is connected to a straight shaft via a ZF transmission. The running gear is protected with the full keel and skeg which connects to the bottom of the rudder.
