SEAFARER V-SEA
Lindsay Fry virtually grew up in the Seafarer factory, working on every part of the manufacturing process, then fishing and boating in his spare time. It is this background saturated in the technology, then end use of the product, that has made him one of the most insightful designers and builders this country has ever known.
He had his first major input into a new model in 1969. His father had designed the 5.Om half cabin Venus just prior to his death, and with that boat on the market, Lindsay conceived of the idea of the cuddy cab V-Sea based on the same hull. That boat went on to become the biggest selling fibreglass fishing boat in the history of the Australian boating, industry, with over 2,000 hulls produced and sold. Benefitting from upgrades over the years, the V-Sea remains a classic best selling fishing boat today.
Deserving of its legendary status, the V-Sea was a defining model for Seafarer.
In production since 1971, the V-Sea has proven itself as one of Australia's all time favourite family fishing boats. Proof alone is the fact that this is Australia's highest selling trailerboat, period.
The 4.74 model today is one of the most sought after models on the used boat market, attracting prices nowadays in line or in most cases more than their original purchase prices.
