El Seaton 1978 es un trawler bien construido, diseñado para soportar las exigencias del mar abierto. Su calidad de construcción es evidente en su robusto casco y su diseño funcional. La navegación es estable gracias a los estabilizadores, lo que es crucial para largos trayectos en alta mar. El layout es práctico, con cuatro camarotes que ofrecen suficiente espacio para una familia o grupo pequeño. En términos de valor, el precio de USD 475,000 parece razonable considerando el refit de 2005, que probablemente ha modernizado muchos sistemas críticos. Para una embarcación de esta edad, recomendaría una inspección exhaustiva del casco, sistemas eléctricos y mecánicos, así como una revisión de los equipos de seguridad. En general, este trawler es una opción sólida para aquellos que buscan un barco confiable para cruceros oceánicos o para vivir a bordo.
