Owner Experience Review
Owners choose the 48 SedanbyOcean Alexanderfor family coastal cruising, weekend leisure, and easy entertaining. Brokerage material consistently cites a three-stateroom arrangement with a forward master, guest cabins amidships, and a U-shaped galley adjacent to the salon. Large windows, good sightlines from the lower helm, and the smooth salon-to-cockpit flow make the boat workable for guests and even periodic liveaboard stints.
On the water, handling is described as seakindly and comfortable in sheltered and coastal conditions. Reported performance spans a wide range based on engines: one owner with 500 hp Yanmars cites 17.5 knots at 2500 rpm with a 30 GPH burn and notes no oil burn at 1,100 hours with oil and filters changed every 100 hours; a professional test recorded 20.9 knots at 2700 rpm. Other examples cruise nearer 12 knots or into the low 20s depending on horsepower and propeller selection.
Serviceability is a recurring positive, with engine-room access via cockpit and salon-sole hatches as well as the lazarette. Routine preventive care commonly includes coolant service, heat-exchanger and aftercooler cleaning, and impeller and zinc replacement, and owners emphasize staying on schedule. Build quality is frequently praised for solidity and interior joinery, though forum notes mention varying perceptions on later models and occasional gelcoat aging or repaints on individual boats.
Pros and Cons
- Family-friendly three-stateroom layout with a U-shaped galley and salon-to-cockpit flow suits cruising and entertaining.
- Seakindly handling and comfortable motion are reported for sheltered and coastal seas.
- Substantial tankage and systems support long-range, owner-operator cruising.
- Actual speed and fuel burn vary widely by engine and prop, so verification on a specific boat is essential.
- Not all examples achieve high-teens or 20-knot cruise; some run closer to 12 knots depending on power and displacement.
- Age-related cosmetics such as gelcoat wear or repaints occur, and later-model quality perceptions vary by boat.
