The Ockelbo B25 CAB is a boat to fall in love with – ready for adventures year after year, in every season.

Deck

In keeping with this unbreakable ethos, the B25 CAB is constructed in a tough no-nonsense style, with a matrix of thick hull stringers. Access is easy via the long bathing platforms, or over forward gunwales into the foredeck area. Thick handrails sit just where you need them, and storage lockers run throughout the boat.

Cockpit & Dash

In the cockpit you have access to key system elements, with stern anchor storage on the port quarter. Opposite, a long locker provides storage space, and room for the diesel heater fuel tank. All lockers close with precision and are sealed with rubber gaskets. Enclosed by thick guard rails the cockpit has a compact fold-out table, which can also house a small cooker (the only cooking option). Under the forward section of the cockpit sits the fuel tank, which being u-shaped pushes some of the fuel weight forward under the wheel house. Behind the tank sits a deck hatch providing access to the batteries and bilge pumps. A lot of thought has gone into every aspect of the wheelhouse. Headroom is outstanding thanks to a low deck, which of course benefits the centre of gravity. All round visibility is as good as it gets thanks to relatively narrow window mullions. The design pushes the wheelhouse out to the extremities of the beam so internal space is maximised. There is a wide double bed that fits across between the bench seats, you can spec a fridge under the port bench, and a 4kw diesel heater keeps everything cosy. Alternatively you can have the boat fitted with four shock mitigating seats, meaning you lose the bed. There is the option of a basic toilet setup, or a small heads compartment in the starboard aft corner of the wheel house, which would really expand the dimension of this capable cruiser.

Machinery

Mercury 300hp outboard - 100 hours. 3 blade stainless steel prop. Settling into the super-comfy shock mitigating seats, provides a great feeling of security. Even with the bolster up for that elevated position, the seat sides keep you firmly in place. Displacing just over two tonnes with the V8 Verado she is light, and even with the ‘sensible’ 300hp engine option, the power delivery is relentless. The boat hits 30 knots before you know it, and trimming the outboard out to 35% has you running at its near 44 knot top speed. It comes standard with Zipwake automatic trim tabs, which on the day I felt no need to use, but handy on a rough passage. The Ockelbo is quiet, much more so than you expect. Some of this is down to the soft internal cabin lining, but I am told she has under-deck airbags for sound insulation, which seem to do the trick. Up to 10 knots you can have the top section of the forward door open, which provides a well needed cooling breeze on a hot day.
