MANUFACTURER REVIEW
The Seaward 25 is one of the finest and most sought-after boats in her class. Her clean, flowing lines will catch the eye, and her practical nature will win the heart. Her size and comforts make her a perfect performance cruiser. With wheel steering, diesel, roller furling headsail, pressure hot and cold water, and a marine head with holding tank, she has the amenities of a forty-footer without the bother.
PRACTICAL SAILOR REVIEW FEB. 2003 (In a Nut Shell)
A trailerable pocket cruiser introduced in 1984 by Hake Yachts, this pricey plumb-bowed sloop is made for exploring the shallows. It's laid out for a cruising couple or young family.
Conclusion
We examined four of the boats, one new and three used. We found the workmanship to be consistent. Gelcoat surfaces were smooth and free of print through. We saw no evidence of crazing. Except for normal wear and tear, a well-maintained boat appears to stand up well to normal use. Construction is certainly solid, and the hardware first-rate. We still aren't sure about the backstay connection but do acknowledge the picture of the boat being suspended by the pulpits.
The basic hull design and rig are well-suited for coastal sailing, real gunkholing, and fairly easy trailering. The cockpit, deck, and running rigging layouts are simple and workable for a singlehanded. The layout below decks shows a sensible mix and weighting of elements—an enclosed toilet and a workable galley in a boat this size are pretty fair accomplishments. The "camper" elements—portable fuel tank provision, ability to access the quarter berth from the cockpit, large ice-box space with the sacrifice of insulation—seem to us wise choices, considering how the boat will likely be used.
For most potential buyers, her greatest drawback will be price. Water-ballasted, trailerable 25-footers (her competition) sell for significantly less, assuming the use of outboard power. They aren't built as robustly, and will depreciate faster and farther, but they get the basic job done. The extra $300-400 per foot that Hake charges for the Seaward 25 might, for the devoted cruising couple in Florida, the Bahamas, or anywhere there's shallow water to be explored, be worth the difference in the long run.
In the used-boat market, the resale value of a five-year-old Seaward 25 is typically between 85 and 90 percent of its original price. At press time, there are 12 used Seaward 25s advertised for sale on the Internet. Asking prices range from $13,500 to $53,900, with the average around $42,000.
