I am the worlds worst photographer but I have managed to find a couple of half recognisable shots.

Spotless engine bay there Keith, a credit to you!

I love the fact the Sealine Gelcoat their engine bays, so much easier to keep clean than mine.

The fact that the engine bay is gel coated does help, but KAD32 is such a big lump just reaching some parts is difficult. For instance you are supposed to regularly grease the steering arm, the only way to do this is hire a contortionist or remove part of the engine. My solution was to fit a remote greaser, it is now a 2 second job.

The S24 has a better interior and helm than the S23/25, that blue finish on the helm on the 23/25 is very plastic. I understand your reasons for the cockpit area,, the S24 has more space, but I like the door and the face to face seating on the 23/25.

I have a question though, she is a 25 footer with a 9ft beam, what is her sea keeping like and does she roll at anchor?

There are aspects of both models that we liked, but for us being 2up most of the time the 24 won on balance.

I agree about the blue dash.

She does move about a bit, no more than any similar sized planing boat. It is more moving to the wind than rolling. I've been on much larger boats that roll like a pendulum, this does not do that, even so we pick our anchorages for a quiet night.

As has been said before Sealine fit a smooth liner to the engine bay so wiping down is simple, but I will let you into a secret there are parts that I cannot easily reach and do not get the attention they deserve.

If you are still posting on here, would be interested to know what kind of performance you get from her
Is the KAD32 the 150 or 170HP version
