Sealegs Amphibious Boats 7.1 Review
This boat, I've since discovered, is unlike anything I've ever tested before. Sealegs has designed this boat to take the hassle out of launch and retrieve.

The afternoon we spent on Sydney Harbour was in windy but reasonable weather. The Volvos delivered enough power to push the 32 open to a speed of 35 knots with a bit of grunt left to spare.
From the flybridge and the lower helm station the corners of the boat can’t be seen, so a third control station is positioned in the cockpit for docking, useful when just 2 of you onboard.
The Aussie-built Seawind Venturer 38 is a vessel perfectly suited to local conditions. She boasts bright open spaces and economical performance, making her ideal for the long voyages between east coast ports.
The new Venturer is built to world-class standards and offers excellent handling characteristics and exceptional long-range cruising capabilities. The conditions for the vessel being tested on this day were nigh on exceptional.
The Seawind 1000 demonstrates perfectly why multihulls have come into their own. New yachts are selling here in unprecedented numbers, many to first-or second-time owners, and almost all are intended for family boating.
Silverton has done its homework with the 34 Convertible and come up with a complete package that lacks nothing. With a starting price of only $377,000 it also represent excellent value for money.
The Stabicraft 609HT comes at a price. But for a no-nonsense, tough-as-nails fishing boat that rides like a dream and loves a bit of rough water, you get what you pay for.
Walking up to a Stabicraft there's no avoiding that initial visual step back most seem to take. Yet on closer inspection I find my first reaction fades into acceptance. It will never win a beauty pageant but we should still appreciate a Stabicraft's safety and handling abilities
Whether you're into full on game fishing, or simply in the market for a versatile cruiser, you should take a closer look at the Sunrunner 3800. The finish and standard of componentry used in her fitout are top-class as is her performance.
