Sealine S25

I had the morning at Brooms Boats in Brundall today Surveying this Sealine S25 for prepurchase.

Washing down the hull at Brooms Boats

Sealine International Ltd is one of the premier marques in Luxury Flybridge Yacht manufacture. I believe the S23, S230, S24, S240 to be the same boat but the S25 had a more modern, less blobby shape with also a diesel option. Excellent family boat and towable behind a good 4x4.

Up for Sale. How would you like a Broom 50.... a snip at £300.000 sterling....

Another Walton 24!!

The Walton 24 are an unusual Marc, but ive now Surveyed two in a week!!

Ive found out a bit more about this motor cruiser since my last inspection. The hulls were moulded by Viking Mouldings and then sent to Rosewells Boathouse and fitted out by Walton Marine in Walton on Thames in Surrey.

Viking of Great Dunmow, the builder of the hull, have been prolific builders of canal and river boats since 1971. The majority of their craft are designed for the canals, but many have become popular on the Broads.

Sealine S28

Had a trip out to Brundall today on the South Broads. The Sealine S28 is another example of Sealine's wonderful use of space relative to the overall length. This model manages a very large cockpit and interior with all the luxuries normally associated with much bigger boats.

In the sheds at Broadland Boat Centre At the rear there is a large bathing platform that incorporates a hot and cold shower and a swimming ladder.
The accommodation on the S28 is second to none for its class. She offers a large galley area incorporating a fridge freezer
and full washing up Facilities! The forward area of the saloon features a large u shaped seating area that in the evenings creates a large double
berth. The aft cabin again features a large double berth. Located between the two sleeping areas is the toilet and shower area. This features a full toilet and hot and cold shower

Walton 24 Motor Cruiser

I was Surveying this unusual little boat at Moonfleet Marine in Stalham today. I have Surveyed her before back in 2004.… how time flys! I don’t know to much about this mark.. i think it is a Viking hull fitted out by Walton Marine.. but that’s a guess! Great little starter boat, small diesel engine, nice and simple.....

Ready for 'haul out'
