Aug 13, 2009 · Re: Sea Ray Year-By-Year Buyer's Guide I bought a 1987 300 Sundancer about a month ago. Make sure you do some research, they went to a balsa-cored hull in the early to mid 90's I believe and there was all sorts of problems for …

Aug 23, 2009 · Anyway, we decided we want a bowrider. We went to the Sea Ray dealer yesterday and looked at their 185 Sport which was very nice (to us) We like the depth of the boat when you're inside and the comfortable seats. Our fish/ski wasn't very comfortable. We have narrowed it down to a few boats and I want your opinion on which one you would chose.

Jul 21, 2011 · Re: Thoughts about a Sea Ray Sundancer 290 - 1996-1997 year model - Mileage? I generally think of fuel useage in Gallons per hour (vs miles per gallon). For that vintage boat, a good rule of thumb is that you will use 0.1 X the horse power being used in gallons per hour.

Jun 21, 2009 · Re: 1978 Sea Ray Restoration Hi Everyone. Well I am going to jump in on this one because I am new to this sight AND a first time boat owner. I just purchased a 1978 24' Sea Ray. The engine and outdrive were both rebuilt 3 years ago …

Jun 25, 2011 · Re: 2005 Sea Ray 180 Sport, Positives & Negatives I just purchased a 2005 Sea Ray 180 Sport. After months of searching and talking to boat owners and internet reviews, I narrowed it down to a 2004-2005 Sea Ray 180 Sport. It has a great lay-out that seats people in very comfortably.

Jan 1, 2011 · Re: Here I go again!! 1995 Sea Ray 220 Signature Deck and Stringer Restoration Re: Here I go again!! 1995 Sea Ray 220 Signature Deck and Stringer Restoration Not a whole lot to report. I got a couple of hours today on deconstruction and got a ton of foam out. I found this cool tool at lowes called a mini tiller that made foam removal a breeze.

Dec 21, 2013 · Re: 1997 Sea Ray 175 Ok, here is my first photo. This is one of the Sea Ray 175 after I first bought it a few months ago. Unfortunately, I left it in a "dollar a day" storage and, someone gutted, my pretty much gutted boat. Notice how it does have a windshield and drivers side dash and instruments. Those were stolen.

Aug 11, 2011 · Sea Rays from late 80's are plentiful and reasonably priced. Look around and you should find a 27'er for under 8-14k or a 30'er for 17-22k. Get familiar with the model numbers as they changed around 1990\1991 and mean very different things regarding actual length and beam (268 = 27' with 8.5' beam, but 270 = 27' with 10' beam...
