[PUP] New Krogen 55 Expedition

[John Marshall]

Looks like it borrows a lot from the Nordhavn 55... almost identical  
dimensions in all areas and the same high freeboard and extra living  
space that provides. Difference is no fly bridge, but maybe that's an  
option. It draws about a foot less water than the N55 (at 5'9" half  
load).

Range is listed as being identical to N55, but with twins and less  
fuel capacity (1800 versus 2250), I wonder about that.

Not much doubt from looking at it that they are going up against what  
I believe is Nordhavn's biggest seller now. Last I heard, more than  
fifty N55's were delivered or on order.

But the devil is in the details. Can't judge any of those from this  
blurb.  But competition is always a good thing for boat buyers.
