Hello, This is my first post so thanks in advance for the advice and expertise. I am in fort myers florida and have owned 8 smaller bow riders in the past in fresh water but never above 24ft. We are liking the sedan bridge style because we plan to spend some overnights at a nice marina we found and like the open, window design of the cabin and the height of the bridge as well as the area outside the doors in the stern. I have a few questions and would love multiple insights.
1.looking at the 36-42 sedan bridge, based on price and size probably around 2004-2007. I noticed the 36 ft, although affordable, didn't stick around long with sea ray.(07-08 based on what I can tell) Are there things about that model that are watch outs other than the size?
2.Like the sea ray model, quality and design but are there other brands that you would say are real QUALITY boats like sea ray that I should consider. Like for example the 2006 391 meridian sedan bridge design really caught my eye.
3. When I look at older year sea rays like the 400sb I have heard and read about "be careful of cored hulls" and I don't know exactly what a cored hull is and if it should be avoided and what problems arose from them if any. Also, what years did sea ray (and others) go away from these.
Thanks so much, Tugger
