sealine s23

[STEVE1969]

Hi i am looking at buying my first boat a Sealine S23 2003 Volvo diesel 170 hp,could anybody tell me what the fuel consumption would be an hour and at what speed

 

[Whitelighter]

I would expect around 1lt/hr at a steady cruise of 24knts

I think you mean 1lt/Nmile /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[Whitelighter]

bugger, yes I did mean 1lt/nm.

Yup, i'm getting about 1l/1nm at 23-24knots, at that speed it's a comfortable boat

Thanks for cheering my day up, Jez.
I cant even start my engines with a litre.

I needed something to dampen the depression here in Devon

We don't want to get as bad as MBM, they appear to have published diesel consumption figures for 300hp mag petrol in this months mag', A 26ft Doral doing 10gph at wot with a 300hp petrol engine, I think not.

Steve,
We have one and on our recent trip from Plymouth to Gosport and back we averaged about 1ltr/Nm cruising between 18 and 22 Kts.

Have you found one yet or are you still looking??? I know someone not very far away from me here who is selling one in the not to distant future.

PM me if you have any questions.

Would that be yourself Paul??? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

No - me try and sell something in here - that would cause an outrage - but I believe Anne is looking to sell a boat /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Would I be right in assuming that it would be 2 ltrs per NM if running a S28? (2 x KAD32's) @ the same speed.

Cheers in advance.

We burn about 40L/hr at 20kts, which is something like 2.3mpg, or about 2L/nm.

dv.

 

[Whitelighter]

There or there abouts. Maybe a fraction less in the right conditions.

 

[poltergeist]

Many thanks for the responses guys.

Talking fuel figures I am really pleased with my Doral, 36ft, LOA 39ft and I get 20lt an hour per engine at 22knt I thought 40lt per hour running is very good.

This is better than my previous boat which was 4 ft smaller,

is this good???

 

[Chris_d]

Sounds very good to me for that size boat, mines about 32ft LOA and burns about the same at only 20kts.

 

[Pomers]

What might that be for the V6 205/210hp engine option that most of the S23's seem to be shod with?

I too am in the Market for one of these, any pointers of potential problem areas to look for would be most helpful or should I just rely on a decent survey.

Thanks in advance.

 

[SnaxMuppet]

I thought most of the S23's were with the KAD32?

 

[poltergeist]

I thought most of the S23's were with the KAD32?

Likewise - apart from the later S25 whereby they might be equipped with the D series Volvo's, every other S23 I have seen, has been engined with a KAD32.

..... any pointers of potential problem areas to look for would be most helpful or should I just rely on a decent survey.

I had one for nearly five years, there are no particular problems I can think of but have a look for chipped GRP where the anchor goes into the nose and worth a hull survey if it has been regularly towed because it's quite a heavy boat and the hull gell coat can get crushed, particularly around the keel, by the trailor rollers if not properly loaded.
