Sealine 305 Statesman Flybridge – Motor Yacht from 1992 for Sale
This Sealine 305 Statesman is a British-made flybridge motor yacht, built in 1992 by Sealine International Ltd. The design is by Tom Murrant, a well-known name in the world of motor yachts. The ship is registered under the Belgian flag (flag certificate B49832) and VAT has been paid according to the statement. The boat is currently located in Port Zélande, where it has been in use for about 20 years.
Dimensions and Construction
The Sealine 305 has a length of 9.14 meters, a width of 3.20 meters, and a draft of 0.88 meters. The air draft is 3.21 meters, making the ship suitable for both inland and coastal waters. The hull is made of polyester, a commonly used material in pleasure boating due to its strength and ease of maintenance. Inside, there is a headroom of 1.95 meters, providing a comfortable living space on board.
Engine and Technology
The yacht is equipped with two Volvo Penta diesel engines, each with 180 hp, both from the year 1992. The engines are electrically started and have four cylinders. The engine hours are 1143 and 1106, respectively. The propulsion is via stern drives, which were replaced in 2023. However, there is a point of attention: the trim cylinders of the stern drives are leaking hydraulic oil and need to be replaced. This can be done by a handy owner or an alternative system can be chosen to mount the stern drives in a fixed position. The estimated cost for replacement is approximately €2,500.
The fuel tank has a capacity of 600 liters, making the ship suitable for longer trips. Steering is done via a steering wheel and is dual: both on the flybridge and inside the wheelhouse. The ship has a dual rudder system and is equipped with an electric bow thruster for extra maneuverability.
Navigation and Electronics
In terms of navigation, the Sealine 305 Statesman is well equipped. On board are an autopilot, GPS, chart plotter, depth sounder, log/speedometer, compass, wind meter, and a VHF radio. For power supply, there are five batteries, a battery charger, and a shore power connection.
Interior and Comfort
The accommodation is designed for comfortable living on board. There is a manual toilet with direct discharge to open water, a shower, hot water system, hot air heating, and various kitchen facilities such as a refrigerator, freezer, oven, and stove. Mattresses are present, and the water tank has a capacity of 150 liters.
