Overview
I was invited down to the Seabrave workshop on the 14th July to witness the first sea trial of the new 16 footer from Seabrave boats. Seabrave have listened to the market and with their 16 footer, set out to design a boat that would offer its customers excellent sea keeping abilities, versatility in terms of available engine power, a high freeboard for safety and a seriously spacious boat for a 16 footer.
The first thing that strikes you when you view the 16 is that it looks so much larger, its bow has a beautiful flare and the entire boat has an extremely sporty look. Seabrave have worked hard to preserve the flowing lines of the boat, that can even be seen on the bow stainless steel railings. The entire design and construction of the boat has been done in house to CE standards, and the 16 is rated up to a maximum of 115hp. Their first customer boat which we were on was fitted with an Evinrude E-TEC 75hp direct injection two stroke, weighing in at 145kgs with a gear ratio of 2.00:1. This inline 3 cylinder 1295cc engine was matched to a 15 pitch aluminum propeller that powered the boat up to an impressive 32 knots@5,200 rpm with a full load (Fuel, water and 3 adults).
wow... very well done guys...
I've seen the boat and it does look great! An excellent Maltese product up to CE standards!
very nice and good boat
very nice boat
Such boats make me proud to be Maltese. I saw the boat in the making and can confirm that not only the looks are great, but also the construction quality.
