Beautiful boat and I think it was one of coolest Sea Ray's ever built for that time. When it comes to the million dollar boat club after owning a european yacht and a couple of Sea Rays (under a million for sure) I think would look towards the euro yachts (excluding Azimut) if I was looking for a 60 foot plus. Being in SoFlo I get the opportunity to see and board all types of yachts and there is a huge difference in my opinion in build quality. Just my opinion but I think they show much more experience in that field than Sea Ray ever has which in the end lengthens the life and lowers the cost of ownership. Again we don't know anything about your boating location or lifestyle which plays into this hugely. But I can tell you going from a 27 to a 60 plus older yacht either have a deep wallet or plan on spending most of your free time doing maintenance as it is a never ending battle to keep everything working on a yacht that size. One last comment I will say is finding parts for these older Sea Rays is becoming a huge issue as Sea Ray's mostly US vendors just don't support them anymore as Sea abandonded them by not making yachts anymore. You don't have this big of issue with most of the euro manufactures as they are still in the yacht building business.
