Sealine 35 Sport

Not a chance

I disagree with those who think such kind of boats don't make any sense.
As long as there is a market with buyers willing to pay, it makes sense for a builder to offer such products.
And the market is definitely there - not a huge one, but it's there.
What Sealine underestimates is the kind of competitors they're going against, with such kind of boat.
Same as if Skoda would offer a car in the same segment of the Lotus Elise: they wouldn't stand a chance.

Itama, Italcraft, Magnum, Baia is some of the competition

tough most of these have usually bigger engines and higher performance
still the 35 Sport was not much of a production cost, being just a 35 SC without the hard top and radar arch, so it is just trying to cater for a new market
I dont think it will sell a lot tough, but the 35 SC will
with 10-1 selling rate infavour for the SC model
 
Lovely looking boat well done Sealine, limited market over here but in more sunny climates I would think it would do very well. Put a couple of big block Chevys in it, that would get the price down and the performance up as its a bit plodder with those diesels, this thing says performance and the people buying this arn't going to worry to much about the fuel burn.
 
So they chopped off the top from that awful looking thing at SIBS.
No interest to me at all but then I like boats with style and quality.
