It’s
been a busy start to the Newyear. It’s the first year for a while where I’ve
started seeing the smaller boats on the Broads starting to sell. I think there
have been lots of potential buyers hanging back and waiting for the recovery
which sounds like it’s on the way. Out and about around the Boat Yards, Yacht Brokers,
Hire Companies and Insurance Brokers the word on boat sales is of an excellent 2014
to come.
Anyway today’s assignment wasn’t exactly a small boat! Probably one of the larger ones situated here in Brundall on the South Broads. This is the Sealine T50, a 2007 model with twin Volvo D9 575hp diesel engines. She has 6 berths in 3 cabins, 2 x toilets & 2 x showers. She had a tremendous spec including - bow and stern thrusters, large generator, docking camera, Sealine Extending Cockpit system (SECS). Pacmare passarelle/dinghy crane, air con and so much more!
Surveys comments: Usual Great British
build quality. Tons of room in the engine room with the motors sitting over the
‘V’ drives. This boat had a pair of 575-hp Volvo-Penta D9’s which drove us down
the river and speed run at 30 knots. Want more power? Then opt for a pair
of 600-hp Cummins QSC’s!
