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
