Anyone know the difference between a Sealine 350 and a 360.When looking on the pictures of them in the adverts for boat sales they look very similar.Thanks.

Assuming you are talking about the statesman (flybridge model) the most obvious visual difference is the additional length of the flybridge sun deck. I think it's about three/four
feet from memory. Had a 360 statesman for about eight years - difficult to fault in most respects.

Thanks for that David.Would you say the 230 hp Volvo's and gear boxes were reliable (2,600 hr in this case).Is there anything else I should look for.
Thanks again

I see from your previous post re p 35 and 36 sedan, various ideas are being thrown around in your head.
The sealine is the more modern boat but has the least best build quality and sea keeping of them all, all be it you get a more modern and less in years boat, it will also be cheaper to run.
The early kad42 a prefix engines were troublesome so id be weary about them, the ms volvo gearboxes are also a weak link, some models have the more preffered hydraulic gearboxes from hurth/zf.
If you do find one for 65/70k get a hull survey at least, if all shows well get an engine and gearbox survey with sea trial to confirm the condition of the engines.
For my money id still go for the p35 or 36 sedan.

Hi Ian
Nothing specific to look for other than the usual wear and tear on a s/hand boat but the 360 space is more preferable on the flybridge. Again the 360 seems to have a good reputation should you ever want to sell at a later date. The extension of the flybridge also improves the cokpit cover fit giving more space if the covers are on. No problems with the KAD 42 engines/gearboxes (our boat was a 1997 model) although I believe the earlier engines had piston crown cracking problems which was rectifed.
All in all a good boat which we enjoyed over 8-9 years - happy to answer any questions you may have.

David

I looked into the differences between a 350 and 360 when we bought ours.
The only thing I could find was the length of the flybridge.
We ended up with a 360 and have done 108 hrs in the last year. The only thing we have was a diesel lift pump fail.
Ours has 230bhp KAD42 B series. I am fairly sure the A series were the ones with some problems.
A great boat, we love ours.

I have had my Sealine F36 basically the 360 for 5 years and have had no problems at all. Same as any boat if it has been well looked after then should have no problems. As for build quality and sea keeping I think the 360 are very well built and its sea keeping is very good.
As for looks and Sealine's ability to make the most out of every little space I am impressed with them.

I’m looking at a Sealine Statesman 350 for 83,000 euros
As yet I have. I ideas of the age and the engine hours but I wonder how realoble it will be if it has been looked after properly and what would be the diesel consumption
Another question is how easy would it be to handle for a newbie to cabin cruisers of any kind

Subject to a good survey, sound and good boats. I think on shaft drives. I am moored next to a lovely one.
Reliability wise that will depend on how it has been looked after. The thing that knackers boats is neglect and water in places it shouldnt be.
At that age I would be looking at a rebuild or serious flush of the engine cooling systems, charge air cooler (if fitted) water cooler, gearbox and engine oil coolers.
Then a look inside the fuel tanks for water and diesel bug and clean out all the various filters.
If thats' all OK you will have reliability. You won't wear the engines out.
Diesel consumption at river speeds about 3 - 4 miles a gallon. At planing /cruising speed at sea or a big lake around twenty knots about 1.2 miles per gallon, maybe a bit better depending on conditions. Bear in mind if you average about 50 engine hours a year (which is typical) , about half that will be at cruising speed. Don't think about miles, think about hours of use.
Handling wise, great size to start with. If it's your first boat do a training course, power boat level 2 or maybe consider a day skipper. From personal experience training is cheaper than new props and fibreglass repairs.
