Greetings.. hope you’re each doing well and enjoying your summer. I stepped away from any effort to work selling my NT 42 Clock Work about a year and a half ago... the “why” is in the blog if anyone is dying from curiosity. Around July 4, I talked myself into it. The decision to get back on that horse was a direct consequence of mounting frustration at my inability to land one but hopefully two copies of my truck, precise to the year... 2004. My motivation.. professionally informed.. being: demonstrated mission-worthiness, reliability and cost of ownership. And equally or more, NOT owning any of the vulnerability-rich rolling embarrassments to systems design excellence being pushed into the market the last 15+ yr... i.e. same thinking applied to buying Clock Work. The truck version of my problem was demand dynamics that differ from most used vehicles with lesser reputations... I am now up against progressively more buyers executing an intelligent buying strategy. Many might still follow a string to work eachday, and just read something on the web rather than figuring it out for themselves, but who cares. Same price vs inventory dynamics. That market is now down to a final stage I call trace availability.. I’ve seen one astonishingly go for mid-50’s and one I recently just lost out on that was in the upper 40’s, despite being plentiful in the $6-12k just a few yr ago. I’ll get there (or get a real horse) but that frustration suggested to me I look at the CW sale more pragmatically. The dynamic is no longer integrated across all potential buyer types.. i.e. some comparing it to every other boat, and others who instantly “get” what I mean by the phrase “the good engine”. Now everyone is, and is best considered to be of that second category, and that’s where I’ll be focusing my time going forward. The announcement of the “mounting of the horse”, so to speak, and an expansion of my thoughts on things can be found here: https://www.clockwork-usa.com/blog Click the photo that MIGHT be AI. Details... If there's a question, I ask that you please submit it via website (Landing page/Contact at top). It's a big pushup now to see the list server with anti-Giggle/security upgrades added in the spring. Also... laptop still recommended... The mobile view was always a constant PITA to keep working, and I don't care anymore. Please note too I have not yet updated the main landing page or other elements of the site.. just the announcement. And I might not. I'm not going to continue maintaining the old recommender system, but am pro-recommender and will do the right thing if someone sends the ultimate buyer this way. Thanks for looking.. Long time since I did this.. hope it works. Oh.. in the event the term the “mounting of the horse” is banned in Newport, please disregard. Miguel, Clock Work Ps – I’m sure some will disagree about my business shift, which is fine, and maybe they have tighter missile lock on it. It could be that boating is the exception to what you see in literally every other used vehicle segment at or approaching the trace availability point. It would be fantastic if someone could write that up for me so I can forward it to the guy who sold “the nice one” for $50k+:) -- MV Clockwork Nordic Tug 42, available for purchase: https://www.clockwork-usa.com/ - fully-mechanical Cummins 6CT - > 75% of factory projected engine life remaining - gen-2 layout with bridge

Here we go again …. pushing the theory that old technology was better and cannot be replicated ….. thus justifying a higher pricer on an older product. There is another group that has seen success pushing and using older technology … the Amish. Might be a good fit …. > On Aug 10, 2026, at 3:15 PM, P MVKW via Sentoa <sentoa@lists.sentoa.org> wrote: > > Greetings.. hope you’re each doing well and enjoying your summer. > > I stepped away from any effort to work selling my NT 42 Clock Work about a year and a half ago... the “why” is in the blog if anyone is dying from curiosity.
