That was a fantastic tour! The best tour of a KK I've ever seen. A beautiful boat. It was really interesting to see inside the machinery spaces...I've been looking at KKs for 15 years and have never seen inside those areas. This is a great price for a 58...that boat will be snapped up for sure. Thanks so much for your knowledgeable tour of tis wonderful boat.

That was a beautiful boat. I like that it only did 2 cabins instead of squeezing in a 3rd. I was also impressed on how clean the mechanical spaces, bilges, and engine room were.

3:00 I love those interior walls, and the blue curtains. Plus, the enclosed aft cockpit, leading to another double door set up for more protection from cold, could make a good addition to heat insulation. Like having a glass porch, to help reduce the heat loss from the front door of your house at home...it's an extra layer that the heat has to escape threw, and the cold weather has to get past.

Anyone that lives in any sort of a freezing cold winter environment knows how important good insulation, and even just being inside a glass porch area is, over being outside with freezing cold wind. Just keeping the freezing cold wind or cold rain off your body is a major thing for a comfortable outdoor atmosphere in winter. I live here in Ireland, so it doesn't get that cold, but anyone that's every had one experience in their entire lives, of walking into a snow storm will remember it. It didn't really snow at all in my area, but other years it got bad.

A very interesting walk-through! The engine cooling / bilge system is called "Emergency Bilge Injection" - it is normally a feature of commercial vessels as a 'last resort' to flooding. I'm not normally a fan of KKs, as some seem to be rather 'rudimentary' - but this one is rather appealing. Looks smaller than 58ft, I guess that is due to the low profile. 17yrs old - still looking great! Your location thumbnail at top right of screen continues to be a great idea, which not many reviewers/brokers do. Luckily - we can rewind the video to keep up with your pace !!!

Hi there Jeff - another fine tour! Between the Nordhavn 57 and the KK58 there are many differences yet they are equals in many ways. Thanks for a very informative tour; you are the only tour guide who actually gives heights - very much appreciated in the ER! And please ignore the rudeness that seems to crop up; obviously done by looky lous who don't want to actually do any research. One question about the aft mounted dinghy; how precarious is it to put the boat cover on on the aft side of the dinghy? I'd be afraid of falling off.

The dinghy cover is manageable (easier in less wind and smooth seas) you start by slipping the aft portion and then pulling over inboard to secure. Live most things on a boat, it's a bit of a dance and you eventually choreograph the most efficient steps!
