History and Construction

The Sealine F43 represents the definitive aft cabin, performance flybridge motor yacht for her size. The F43 is one of the most popular models that Sealine ever built. Everywhere on board is a clearly defined area that allows your family and guests a companionable and comfortable experience. There is a deep safe aft cockpit with all-round seating and clever storage options. The full cockpit enclosure is removable and stores in bespoke lockers in the roof sections. The cockpit table and legs have a similar storage solution. Access to the upper helm is safe and secure thanks to the teak laid molded steps. Once on the flybridge, you will be delighted by the aft sunbathing area, the L-shaped seating/lounger, and the central double helm seat. The visibility from the commanding helm position is superb and allows the helmsman excellent control.

This Sealine F43 was last out of the water in September 2024 to have her anodes replaced, re-antifouled, and hull polished.

The current owner has had the boat since mid-October 2022 and is selling due to a change in his life plan.

Mechanical

Mechanical Systems

This Sealine F43 is powered by two very well maintained Volvo TAMD63P diesel engines. These 370hp, 6-cylinder units are immaculate and housed in an engine bay that is in similar condition. The engines have completed approximately 600 hours and will happily cruise at 20 knots. At this speed, she will burn approximately 65 litres per hour. Maximum speed with a clean hull is between 28-30 knots.

The reduction gearboxes drive stainless steel shafts with 4-bladed bronze propellers. Each shaft is fitted with a Stripper triple blade rope cutter which operates using a scissor action, making short work of any rope and avoiding expensive lift outs. Twin lever Morse controls are fitted with "Extra Flex" throttle cables, providing smooth and extremely responsive throttle use. The engines are mid-mounted for stability, and the conventional shaft drive allows for easy and predictable slow-speed handling. The engine bay can be accessed via a small garage hatch in the saloon. The engine space is illuminated, and the engine seacocks and fuel/water separators are easily accessible from here. For more thorough maintenance, the saloon floor is divided into removable panels.

Electrical Systems

This Sealine F43 has four domestic batteries, two engine start batteries, a windlass battery, a bow thruster battery, and a genset starter battery. A Dolphin 380 4KVA generator is fitted, linked to the Victron Battery management system. It has a 240V shore power system, inverter, and immersion heater.
