SEAWAY – A Peek Down Below

Seaway was designed / built by Sam Ford & measures approx 31’, with a beam of 8’10” & drawing 5’6”. Zoom zoom is via a ^0hp Ford diesel.

She has appeared on WW before but now thanks to trademe & Ian McDonalds spotting, we get a better look at her interior.

There has been a lot of TLC applied in the last 2 years & she appears to be a good buy at $25k, a good entry into classic wooden boating 🙂

You can see & read more on Seaway on this WW link, check out the comments section – lots of chat there.
