Overview

About this vessel

The Sealine Ambassador 285 provides a significant amount of boat for the money. It includes plenty of space above and below decks for comfortable cruising with friends and family. 'Kamiga' has received many upgrades over the years including fully re-upholstered cockpit seating, new laminate flooring in the cockpit with a new table and recently recarpeted interior. Electronics package includes Lowrance Elite5 fish finder, Lowrance Hook9 colour chartplotter and a ICOM ICM423 DSC VHF. Twin petrol Volvo AQ211 with 290DP Outdrives. Port Engine was running but after layup won't turn over. Investigation required. Starboard engine runs as it should. Fully refurbished and treated cockpit enclosure.

Vessel is powered by twin, Volvo Penta AQ211 petrol engines. These 150hp units have been well maintained and are situated beneath the cockpit sole. This allows all round access for servicing and daily checks. However after layup the port engine won't turn over and requires investigation. Starboard engine operates as it should. This is despite new carburetters and ignition pack. Propulsion is from Volvo DP290 outdrive legs. These are in good condition and have been well maintained over the years including full overhaul by a Volvo Sterndrive Specialist who fitted new gearboxes and H-frames. Stainless steel duo props have been overhauled, cleaned and provided with new nose cones, locking nuts and spacers.

12/240V system with fused switch panel. Key style battery selectors. Battery charger and shore power cable. Both domestic batteries replaced in February 2023 and engine start in 2024. All 3-pin sockets in cabin replaced in 2024.

The saloon is entered from the cockpit via a lockable sliding hatch and doorway. Interior was fully recarpeted in 2024. Bespoke covers for saloon seating in 2024. Saloon has a large horseshoe seating/dining area which converts to a spacious double, and the separate aft cabin with closing door can be used as two singles or with the use of an infill can be used as a double. The galley consists of a gas fuelled oven with 2-burner hob and grill. There is a 12V front loading fridge with a freezer compartment and a double sink with hot & cold pressurised water. Within the heads compartment there is a Jabsco marine toilet, a sink unit with a pull out shower head and shower sump pump out. The interior wood is a combination of well cared for teak & mahogany joinery. There is an amazing amount of storage making extended cruising a reality. 240/12V sockets throughout. New 3-pin sockets installed in 2024. There is a diesel fired hot air system on board to keep the interior warm and dry and extend your boating season.

GRP Constructed Cruiser with planning hull, built by Sealine International of Kidderminster in 1988. Underwater areas have been fully stripped back to the gelcoat, primed and coated with antifoul in August 2024. Primer used is Seajet 117 Multipurpose Epoxy Primer known for its anti-osmotic properties. Top coat is also by Seajet Shogun. The recommended 3-coat application will last 2 seasons of heavy use. Hull topsides were polished at the same time. Large companionable cockpit entered from the transom through a door from the bathing platform. All the seating has been recovered to a high standard. The cockpit sole has been refurbed using hard wearing vinyl panels. Large seating area to starboard with bespoke wooden cockpit table. Upper helm with helm seating and double co pilot seat with excellent visibility.
