2002 Hake / Seaward 35' _{(10.36 m)} 32RK

Introducing Firefly, a Seaward 32RK. The Seaward 32Rk is a recreational lifting keel boat known for its versatility and shallow-water capabilities.

Here are some key details about this vessel:

Design and Construction:

• The Seaward 32RK is predominantly constructed of fiberglass, with wood trim.
• It features a masthead sloop rig, complete with a bowsprit.
• The boat’s design includes a plumb stem, a vertical walk-through transom, and a lifting, transom-hung rudder (new in 2017) controlled by a wheel.
• Notably, the Seaward 32RK boasts a lifting keel with a weighted bulb, which can be adjusted using an electric winch.

  Retracting Keel:

• The “RK” in its name stands for “retracting keel.”
• This innovative feature allows you to lower the keel to your desired depth (within reason) and raise it again when water conditions become shallower.
• A simple electric winch facilitates the keel’s movement, making it easy to adapt to varying depths.
• The keel, equipped with a 2,200-pound lead torpedo, provides a fully extended draft of 6 feet 6 inches.
• When retracted, the draft reduces to a mere 20 inches, thanks to the enclosed electric deck winch.

Trailerable and Self-Contained:

• The Seaward 32RK is designed for ease of trailering, however, this sale does not include a trailer. A trailer can be sourced locally.

If you want to sail and gunk-hole too, this is the boat for you. This shoal draft lifting keel boat will take on some amazing adventures. Drawing only 1 ft. 8 in. with the keel all the way up and 6 ft. 5 in. when fully lowered you can go from the beach or up creeks to open water and anywhere in between. 

Explore the Chesapeake Bay, Florida Flats, Barnegat Bay, Biscayne Bay, Pamlico Sound or any draft challenged area in Firefly....effortlessly change drafts with
