If they survived the end . Can you imagined what design they would come up with I imagine petrol outboards on a 40 with hi lo platform on port side with extending platform obviously with sliding seating.

They have survived, in Germany.

Not really.

There was some crossover and handover with the S380 / F380, but it’s only the brand name that lives on now, with some of the original values, but none of the original employees.

Sorry, I’m a little confused by your point. The OP asked what would Sealine be doing if they had survived? If he had said, what would they be doing if they had survived at Kidderminster, then that is a different question surely?

It all depends how you look at it.
The new Sealine a fine thing, and has some of the original company's DNA, but not the factory, tooling, none of the employees or directors, designers or suppliers.
I don't see my self "surviving" when I die because I have had a child

Are you a company? The likes of Sun/Prin/Fair ownership has changed many times, including into foreign hands. Does that make the company end each time the ownership changes?

Sealine had nice molded in flybridge steps and easy access before the competition. Even when that was no longer a USP, their volumous packaging and innovative use of space was.

In my 25 year old sealine (my 3rd sealine) I can ascend to the flybridge at sea carrying a tray of food or drink.

The new "sealine" has a fabulous flybridge with a big table and a vertical ladder to get there. Needs a transom mounted trebuchet to get food on the table.

It is not a sealine.

Sealine were incredible when it came to space and innovation. Yes, they were built to a price but there are very few people on the water today who haven’t owned or seriously considered owning a Sealine.

I came close on a number of occasions but never quite got them across the line.

I think you paid for the factory all those years ago.
