Seeker |
|
|
|
Seeker is a Lochin 38' workboat. Being heavy built, she is one of
the most sea worthy crafts of her size. This, coupled with her twin
250hp Ivecos makes her a fast and comfortable platform for adventurous diving.
Seeker can cruise at 15 knots fully laden, has plenty of deck space and excellent
kitting up benches. A rear tail-lift means that there are no ladders to climb;
this makes diver deployment and recovery an effortless experience.
