Bruce Harris 45 Flybridge Large Volume Cost Effective Boating Just Listed

For those who rightly crave the reuturn of good old fashioned cost effective and simple family/cruising Sea Spray could be just the boat for you.

Seven Star Marine Sales in Conjunction with Jim Stuart Marine are pleased to present Sea Spray. To the Market.

A large volume cruiser with proven liveaboard and coastal cruising credentials, Sea Spray has just completed a very pleasant trip from Galdstone to Manly, you have everything you need in this boat without the complexities of many modern boats of this size. Powered by a 180hp Nissan Marine Diesel, this motor in this format does not work hard, sips fuel and these motors sucessfully acheive many thousands of hours in the recreational boating environment. A mechanical diesel with an extensive parts network, simply and cost effectively serviced. Having a single provides great all-round accessibilty to all areas of the engine space which also houses, the battery bank, fuel filters and additional storage.

Once boarding via the swim/fish platform/duckboard with BBQ and sink you have easy access to the cockpit, with covers that can be fully opened or completely closed to provide additional enclosed dining or entertaining space as required. A large domestic style freezer provides good capacity for longer stays at sea.
A staircase style ladder (not a steep vertical ladder) provides easy access to the fully enclosed flybridge with ample seating and a great position for the second helm with commanding 360 degree views.

Moving forward from the cockpit you enter the galley, raised lounge/dining area and bathroom /shower with a washing machine. A large domestic sized fridge is easily accessible. The downstairs helm with side door foredeck access compliments this area and allows great ventilation throughout.

Heading below via the forward stairs you are greeted with a large master berth and a forward cabin with bunks and potential infill berthing arrangements. A full head is also easily accessed from this area.

I cannot emphasise how practical this boat is and very well priced to meet the current market.

Cruising at a steady 8 plus knots at approximately 11 - 12 litres per hour the fun is in the journey. Easy handling and docking is assisted by a powerful bow thruster.

Recent survey available for qualified potential buyers.

Be boating for Christmas.
