Hi fellas

Was just wondering if anyone knows much about seatamer boats as there was one for sale at the boat dealers.They look a very solid plate boat!! The boat i was looking at was a 5.8m rampage with twin 50 yammie 4 strokes on it,my immediate thoughts were it would be slugish,as it's a large boat with heaps of free board and quite beamy!

any thoughts/opinions would be good

cheers mal:)

there a newcastle mob,apparently they do some coast guard,firebrigade,and other commercial vessels.I have seen a 6.4m seatamer rampage with a 225hp yammi on it,it was a big boat and the bloke said it was built to survey and was maximum hp,so maybe the 5.8 could do with a 150 or175,anyway just a thought as the one for sale he want 30 for it,thats a lot considering you would have to re-power it

They are one of the best built custom boats IMHO.
Twin 50s sound a bit small though. Twin 70s + sound more like it.

Anyone with any recent experience? There is one in cairns for sale I might go look at.

I've owned one for 14 years, built like a tank. Boat for sale is dramatically under powered.
Would need about 150HP min, twin 50's ????????. With any load it would battle to plane.
The hull has 16 degree dead rise, stable at rest but slaps hard on the go. Self draining hull a big plus.

Sorry, can't help with that boat, would expect the ebombs to use about 20-30 litres(each) an hour at cruise.

Kind of think 150's will use nowhere near 30L per hour EACH!

Yeah, could be a bit high, be the one of the first questions I would be asking the seller though.
The 150 that was temporarily on my hull never ran under 20l/hr and was closer to 25l/hr loaded, between 3500-4000 rpm.
I'm assuming the cat wouldn't plane near as well as my hull, probably double the weight, and fully loaded would have to pull over 4000rpm to maintain cruise speed.
