Sealine S240/S24

[mark_keohane]

I am looking to buy a Sealine Senator 240, and would like to seek a trial with one of these boats to assess the ride comfort and performance, particularly with the 205hp and 225hp petrol engine and duo prop leg. I am based in Portsmouth and would be grateful if a Solent-based owner would be willing to give myself plus one a chance to experience this boat at speed and in the Solent chop. We would contribute towards running costs for this exercise, and I am RYA Day Skipper and Power Boat Level 2 qualified.
Many thanks. Regards Mark Keohane

Go to Sealine at Swanwick and ask them to take you for a spin, they were quite willing to take me out on an F37. You just have to convince them that you are serious. As you allready have a Sealine that shouldn't be too difficult.

Thanks Moose, I didn't realise Sealine were that willing. Sea trials normally require some commitment from the punter and I figured a willing owner would be an easier option for a trial. I'll give Sealine a call. Rgds MK

I had a 240 for nearly 5 years. Great boat, towed it for thousands of miles around the Med. Very tough, bit of a sod to berth stern to in a cross wind but that goes for any single prop. Again the same for any boat that size but uncomfortable in a f4 when you have to come off the plane.
Part exchanged it with Sealine for the S37.
I really can't think of any problems to watch out for.
good choice ... have fun

Thanks David, the funds are the limiter as always so I'll sit out the F4's in the S240. Enjoy the S37.... MK
