Any owners of the Sea Sport 24 Explorer?
I looked very hard at the Sea Sport 24 Explorer this past week at the
Seattle boat show. I like everything about the boat, except no flybridge option and of course the steep price. I priced it out with quite a bit of options, including rear station steering and the Volvo KAD43 Dual Prop. Stat's available show the boat top speed in the 40's, with 7 gph cruising at 25 knots. I like the stand up head option, something the Osprey 24 doesn't have. I don't like having a huge engine compartment however. They do offer a outboard bracket, but I think I'll stick with an inboard. The boat would reside in Southeast Alaska and would be used an average of 250 hours a year. A buddy bought a Seaswirl 23 this past year. Very tight boat, however for the money - I think it set him back $60k fully loaded - it doesn't have any cabin space. I have two small kids and would like to have a good extended trip cabin. This one has a nice small fridge, plus I looked at the Wallas stove. I didn't get a chance to look at the Skagit Orca, which I hear are a nice setup as well. I've heard good things about the Parker line as well. Any other boats I should be looking at here? Thanks. linus |

Farallons, and Davis of Morro Bay. Davis Rock Harbor 25 is really nice. I
think you are looking at about 90 boat dollars. "Black-n-Gold" wrote in message ... I looked very hard at the Sea Sport 24 Explorer this past week at the Seattle boat show.

But I'd want to avoid an I/O; I'd go for the outboard bracket. Email sent to is never read. |
