Owner Experience Review

Owners gravitate to the Enclosed Raised PilothousefromNEW ENGLAND BOATWORKSfor its combination of range and seakeeping. Listings for the 2003 Sea Bold example attribute a C. Raymond Hunt planing Kevlar-composite hull with a published ~22-kn cruise and ~25-kn top, and frequently cite "excellent handling in various weather conditions." A relatively shallow draft of about 1.68 m (5'7") broadens the cruising envelope into bays and coves that are often off-limits to yachts of similar size.

For passagemaking, the same example is listed with an approximate 2,300-nm range at 18 kn, which aligns with the long-range cruising brief. Day and weekend guest use is supported by a spacious, four-stateroom layout, a full galley, and even an owner’s office, while the enclosed raised pilothouse keeps helm operations protected in all weather.

From a care perspective, twin Caterpillar diesels on documented boats have been "maintained by a life-long captain," with refit work noted (e.g., a 2020 refit and subsequent electrical updates in 2023). One broker even quotes that the caretaker "has kept it in pristine condition." Public, long-term owner reports are sparse, and no concentrated thread of recurring design or structural failures has surfaced in open forums; most available commentary remains brokerage/specification oriented.

Pros and Cons

• C. Raymond Hunt planing Kevlar-composite hull offers a listed ~22-kn cruise and ~25-kn top with excellent handling in various weather.
• Shallow draft of about 1.68 m (5'7") enables access to bays and coves typically off-limits to similar-size yachts.
• Listed range of roughly 2,300 nm at 18 kn supports long-range cruising and passagemaking.
• Public long-term owner feedback is limited, with most details coming from brokerage and spec listings.
• Documented examples show periodic refits and systems work (e.g., 2020 refit and 2023 electrical updates), implying ongoing maintenance planning.
• Although suitable for owner-operation, the layout anticipates small crew support with four crew berths, which can add operating overhead.
