Seaworthy 28 (formerly the BHM 28)

[Hooper]

I owned a 28 Seaworthy for a few years and loved the boat. I sold it simply for financial reasons, I wanted to be safe when the economy was in a free-fall. I wish I had not.

Anyways, it was a 2001, had a Volvo TAMD63P rated at 370 hp. It would cruise at 20kts but I usually ran it at 17-18. It was set up with a secondary steering station in the cockpit which made fishing so easy.

Did I say I miss the boat? It went to Aruba, sold sight-unseen to a fisherman who is probably beating her to death....(sigh)

Here are some pics

That was my attempt at sarcasm !
I actually had plans to buy Fair Tide from Hooper 2 different times prior to buying mine (he backed out on me twice)
In the end it was a blessing. No offense to his but other than him having more hp (I've got the 315 yanmar) mine is a far better boat
Laid out much better !

Raider Ronnie?

Explain why your "layout" is better than the Fair Tides?

<SARCASM TAG> Because it is an Osmond Beal and not a BHM <SARCASM TAG>

The 32 Seaworthy is the Osmond Beal

The cockpit of that boat is very tight. Believe the house just a bit longer than mine.
With the bigger Volvo motor the engine boat was huge on that boat.
The transom had a built in fish box that was huge.
Add in the deck had a fighting station mounted, though could be removed.
Some of the better layout on my boat was of my doing after I bought it though and don't think would have been possible with fair tide (full stb side swing up door & 3/4 open winter back with bi fold doors I made up)
Steve Law built a lot of cool storage solutions in mine also.

I saw Steve Law last Saturday, putting back together a 28 Seaworthy that the owner had hit a floating timber log with.
Have spoken to him about the 28 or 32 Seaworthy build, also a 29 H&H Osmond Beal build. He builds a great solid boat is a very likable guy.

what's an honest cruise for the Seaworthy/BHM 28? Can she do 22 comfortably (in reasonable seas) or is she an 18-19kt boat tops?

Hey Hooper. Bet you do wish you never sold it, she sure was/is a beautiful boat. As you know, if it had a bit more headroom for my 6'6" frame, it would have been in my slip. Hope all is well, Merry Christmas, Rick

28 BHM or your 32 Osmond?

You're putting me on the spot with that Bill & I don't have enough experience with the 28' to make an educated comment. I will say that untill I found the 32' Osmond with the 6'10" wheelhouse & huge pit, I was absolutely ga-ga over Hoopers boat & spent 2 weekends up the cape seatrialing & checking it out. That boat was rigged right & maintained to the highest standards. In the end, the boat I have works out Great for my uses & I'm sure that 28 would have too.
