Nimble Nomad Pocket Trawler

1991–2005

The Nimble Nomad is a Ted Brewer-associated 24-foot pocket trawler/pilothouse powerboat with an outboard mounted in a well, compact liveaboard accommodations and an 8-foot-6-inch trailerable beam. It is a slow, characterful inland/coastal cruiser rather than a planing boat.

Best for

  • Owners prioritizing trailerability, shallow draft and distinctive traditional character
  • Couples exploring inland waterways and protected coastal cruising grounds
  • Buyers comfortable with uncommon low-volume boats

Trade-offs

  • Narrow beam limits interior and side-deck space
  • Low-volume production means parts, documentation and resale comparisons can be sparse
  • Kodiak and rigged Wanderer versions introduce sailing systems that do not fit a pure powerboat comparison

Known concerns

  • No model-specific concern has been promoted to B-Atlas’s evidence threshold. This does not mean the model has no age-, condition- or hull-specific risks.

Inspection focus

  • Confirm exact hull, rig and propulsion configuration
  • Inspect deck/hull core, pilothouse joints and hardware penetrations
  • Inspect propulsion installation, steering and fuel system
  • For rigged Kodiak/Wanderer examples, inspect mast step, rigging, chainplates and centerboard/keel systems

About this record

B-Atlas preserves uncertainty: missing information remains unknown rather than being treated as a negative. Specifications and guidance describe the model record; individual boats can differ by year, equipment, refit and condition.
