Sadly the time has come for me to part with my beloved Sealine s28. When I finally say goodbye to her, she will be immensely missed because during the 3 years I have owned her, she has been a superb boat in every aspect. Built in 2003 and powered by twin volvo diesel engines, which have only seen 150 hrs use, my Sealine s28 will cruise effortlessly at 25 knots and give aprrox 32 knots maximum. What amazes me most is how much storage and living space is in the Sealine S28 The designers have done a first class job in making full use of the space available to them. She can sleep 4 with ease and has all the comforts of home. So, If the Sealine s28 is such a fantastic boat then why do I want to sell her, I hear you ask. Quite simply, I want to buy a bigger boat, about 35 feet long, and I am seriosly considering another sealine model. Going back to my boat, she has a fully equiped galley (kitchen) with oven/grill, twin gas hobs, good size fridge, twin sinks, and storage for your cutlery, crockery and food etc. The interior below decks in my Sealine s28 has unmarked blue upholstery complimented by a beige carpet. The seperate toilet compartment has a hand basin and shower and also doubles as an ensuite to the aft cabin. The radio/cdplayer has 4 speakers, 2 of which are in the cockpit area. Above decks in the cockpit, the carpet is blue and there is seating for 6/8 people and another fridge and concealed wash basin. There is also another shower near the bathing platform so you can remove that salt water before entering the boat. The sealine s28 has an electric anchor which can be operated from both the helm position or on deck at the bow, and there is a VHF radio, GPS system, and the usual depth and speed instruments. If you are considering purchasing a 28-29ft boat, then the sealine s28 should be on your list. They represent excellent value for money for both what you get and the quality of the build. My boat has a marina mooring in the Southwest which is transferrable ( my next boat will be to long to go there) and if you would like to see her, please e-mail me. During April or May, I will be taking her out of the water for anti-fouling and servicing as I do every year, and I am seriously considering having a bow thruster proffessionally fitted, because though not an essential as we have managed 3 years without one, it will aid manoeuvering in stronger winds! I think that just about covers everything all bar a full list of equipment which i will happily supply if you e-mail me at d4dell@btinternet.com Del Johnston is an author, Sealine fan and operates a business website http://www.onlinebusinesstour.info
