Designed for coastal passages, entertaining at anchor, and short getaways, this model blends performance with everyday livability in a 41-foot platform. Above deck, the social cockpit connects seamlessly to the helm and swim platform, protected by a fixed hardtop. Below, the layout typically includes a forward master cabin, a mid-cabin for guests, a convertible lounge, enclosed head, and a functional galley. Buyers can select inboard or outboard propulsion, tailoring speed, range, and maintenance preferences to suit their boating style. ## Specifications | Length Overall | 39' 8" 12.09 m | |---|---| | Beam | 11' 6" 3.51 m | | Draft | 21" 0.53 m | | Person Capacity | 18 Day / 6 Night | | Fuel Capacity | 185 gal 700 L | | Water Capacity | 79 gal 299 L | ## ezstandalone.cmd.push(function() { ezstandalone.showAds(103); });# **NX Boats NX41 Horizon** ## Walkthrough Video Transcript ### Overview Captain Tripp's introductory summary: powered by twin V10 Mercurys, the builder states the boat can reach upwards of 50 mph and cruises at approximately 30–31 mph. ### Specifications - **Length overall:** 39 feet, 8 inches - **Beam:** 11 feet, 6 inches ### Swim Platform / Outdoor Kitchen A generously sized swim platform surrounds the twin Mercury engines. Just forward is an outdoor kitchen — described by Captain Tripp as likely a popular gathering spot — with an electric grill/cutting station, cup holders, a trash can, and a sink underneath. **Storage:** Room for fenders and lines, described as ample space, currently housing drink lines and related items. **Utility connections:** Shore power connection and a diesel fill. Captain Tripp clarified: *"Those aren't diesel engines, but there is a diesel nine kilowatt generator on board."* His stated preference for this fuel choice: *"I like how they opted for that diesel fuel for the generator. That's a little bit of a safer... move by NX."* ### Overhead / Cockpit Entry A retractable electric awning is fitted at the back of the hardtop for additional shade. Two steps lead up into the cockpit. **Trash can placement:** Located just forward of cockpit entry, draining into the engine room. Captain Tripp's stated rationale: *"That's kind of nice because now all those smells and things that are unsightly with a trash can, they're hidden. They're not in the cabin and they're easy to access through the hatch."* ### Cockpit Seating Two L-shaped seating sections encompassing the space. Captain Tripp's assessment of the openness of the layout: *"I noticed that a lot of boats, you're kind of confined to certain areas. You can sit wherever you want on this boat."* **Features:** - Cooler beneath the starboard cushions - Table on the port side - Accent lighting integrated into the upholstery - JBL speakers connected to the Fusion audio system - Push-button TV lift, positioned forward — suited to watching a game or a sunset movie - Cup holders throughout, plus USB charging **Additional port-side storage (forward):** Optionable as general storage or fitted with a chiller plate to serve as an extra refrigerator. Beneath this: dedicated storage for cutlery, glassware, and stemware. **AC electrical panel:** Located on the port side beneath the helm seat. ### Hardtop Electric, push-button operated, opening/closing all the way down to the windshield line. Captain Tripp noted this while seated at the helm as the source of airflow into the cockpit. ### Helm Electronics - Push-button DC switch controls, left side of the dash - Wireless Scanstrut phone charger - Fusion audio system - Twin Simrad screens - Centerline-mounted compass, on a tilt base - Linco trim tab controls - Pinnacle engine control for the Mercurys - Skyhook joystick - VHF radio, generator controls, and battery switches — grouped to the right, all noted as easily accessible to the operator ### Ventilation / Climate Control Manual sliding windows on both port and starboard sides for additional airflow. Air conditioning is available for fully closed-up conditions — Captain Tripp noted this would be "fantastic on those real hot, stagnant days at anchor." ### Bow Access With the windshield opened, access to the bow is described as easy. The bow rail is a comfortable height, intended to keep occupants secure while cruising slowly. Fold-down sections allow fender storage at deck level. Two JBL speakers extend sound to the bow, along with courtesy lighting. ### Anchor System (Bow) Complete with a quick windlass, cleat controls, and a washdown for cleaning a muddy anchor/rode before bringing it aboard. ### Bow Sun Pad Captain Tripp specifically praised the backrest design here, noting he hadn't yet sat in it at the time of filming but was impressed by its appearance: *"I think one thing I really like about this boat is this sun pad, but really the backrest on it... it just looks really good because this is a proper backrest. I'm impressed. I wish more boats included \[a\] feature like this."* ### Cabin — Layout Overview Captain Tripp identified this as a two-cabin layout, noting its significance within the NX product line: *"As you are going through NX's line of boats and going up in size, this is the first size you're gonna find that gives you that two private cabin layout\[s\]."* **Salon area:** A lounging spot on the port side with a TV. **Galley (across from lounge):** Refrigerator with a clear front (visible contents), drawers, sink, small electric stovetop, microwave, and overhead storage. ### Forward Cabin Captain Tripp characterized this space more precisely: *"I think I would call this more of a private berth than a private cabin, but it is private nonetheless."* **Features:** - Hull side windows with vents (both port and starboard) for natural airflow on comfortable nights - Recessed cubbies for small items - A 110-volt outlet - Air conditioner unit controls **Berth dimensions:** Approximately 5 feet, 8 inches in length (noted as "a little bit short") and 5 feet wide. **Finish details:** Recessed lighting along the sides and in the headliner. ### Head Captain Tripp's assessment: *"I was pleasantly surprised when I first took a look at the head on this boat. It's a good usable size. It's not a wet head."* Includes a dedicated shower with a seat, described as well-finished with plenty of elbow room. A glazed overhead skylight provides natural light. Also includes a toilet, sink with storage underneath and overhead, and a hull side window with a vent for ventilation. ### Aft Cabin (Berth Comparison) Captain Tripp stated a personal preference for sleeping here over the forward berth, citing size: *"If I were spending the night on this boat, I think I would prefer the aft cabin for sleeping because the berth is a bit larger."* **Dimensions:** Approximately 6 feet in length and nearly as wide; overhead clearance when sitting up on the berth measured at 37 inches. **Additional features:** Storage at the foot of the bed, a small bench near the entry offering standing-room height (suited to changing clothes), plus a small mirror and storage above. ### Closing Captain Tripp: *"That concludes our walkthrough of NX's 41 Horizon."* ezstandalone.cmd.push(function() { ezstandalone.showAds(104); }); - [Test Drive](/user/login?destination=/markdownify/node/147460) - [Dealer Contact](/user/login?destination=/markdownify/node/147460) - [Compare to other boats](/boats/compare/147460) --- ## Related Boats [ Report with Video Review with Captain's Report ![NX 400 Horizon](/sites/default/files/styles/500x375_max/public/NX-400-Horizon-3-16-24.jpg?itok=A2vc0TIT) ](/boats/nx-boats/nx-400ht-horizon-2024) [Express Cruisers](/boats/express-cruisers) ### [NX Boats NX 400HT Horizon (2024-)](/boats/nx-boats/nx-400ht-horizon-2024) [ Report with Video Review with Captain's Report ![NX350 running](/sites/default/files/styles/500x375_max/public/NX350-running-2-19-26.jpg?itok=d4u7or1U) ](/boats/nx-boats/nx350-maximus-2026) [Express Cruisers](/boats/express-cruisers) ### [NX Boats NX350 Maximus (2026-)](/boats/nx-boats/nx350-maximus-2026) NX Boats Express Cruisers,
