Hey gang, new here and excited to hear all the feedback from you guys!!! I am employed at SeaRay Headquarters in Knoxville. If I can help out in anyway please feel free to post, If I don't know, surely can find out for you :smt038.

My knowledge in boat building does not include the bilge (sorry guys) but sure can ask for you, and direct it to the hands on people who do the motor-well. Anything else is free game.

Here's my knowledge
280da (04-now, to be discontinued)
290aj (07-now, to be discontinued)
290ss (04-now)
290slx (04-now)
300da (04-07 discontinued)
310da (07-now) *new*
320da (04-07 discontinued)
330da (07-now) *new*
340da (04-08 discontinued)
350da (08-now) *new*
380da (08-now)
400da (08-now to be discontinued)

However one of our small boat plants right down the road is closing and we are to receive all of their boats which will be at the end of March 09, they include 240's-285's.

If you have any questions of who/what/when/where or how to access or tear down just lemme know :thumbsup:

Thanks for all the great compliments on the boats we build!!

WHAT!!!!!!!! WHEN???????? WHY?:huh:
 
Hi Chelepop and welcome to the forum.


Please make sure you have something from your supervisor in writing that said he is aware that you are posting on a public message board about Sea Ray boats as a Sea Ray employee and he is OK with it.

Just trying to help.


If you don’t have this in writing I’m sure Jim or Wes would help you and delete this thread if you wish. They are good people and they don't want to cause greif for someone.
 
.........Here's my knowledge
280da (04-now, to be discontinued)

WHAT!!!!!!!! WHEN???????? WHY?:huh:



Since you and I both know the current model 280 DA started before 2004 as he is posting, we can assume his knowledge started in 2004.

So it’s not clear if the 280 DA model is being discontinued or his knowledge is being discontinued.
 
why would they dump the amberjack 29... great boat and there all over lake erie by cleveland..... rob
 
Hi again, lemme just say that helping people solve their own boat woo's isnt against any policy, and this is a public forum. So no supervisor needed, unless you want me to duck out. As I understand the 280da came to us from pheonix, az in 2001 it revitalized our company. In turn they closed. This has been an issue since the first 290da back in 06' to discontinue the 280, but it has been requested over and over again. I dunno why they want to let this boat go since it's been such a substantial asset to us from day one, EVERYONE LOVES IT. Great Seller this boat!! But it's time for anew, and with all the new models (290da, 310da, 330da, and 350da) they are ready to improve, on what they have. We will no longer be building the "so called" 280da, and will (has been trying) to be phased out but that's not to say we wont give it another name and a snazzier new look. Basically the 350da 330da and 310da being revamped has revitalized and inspired our Engineering and has been well received to the not just SeaRay community, but to a lot of new buyers as well. But don't worry, to my knowledge we still have to keep molds up to 10 years for warrenty claims so your not left in the dark. :)

Thank for all the welcomes, anything I can do to help just lemme know. Ill do my best to help ya out :) I wont give out anything that my company has entrusted in me.

Sorry, maybe I must reitterate, just because its going to be discontinued at our facility, by no means does it mean it wont be picked up by another, or under another name,I dont have that information. Just to make things a little clearer. Clear as mud yet? lol
Just trying to help out.

Chelepop, Its nice to have you on board here. Thanks for all the info so far. I am sure you will have alot of questions comming your way. How long have you worked for SeaRay? What is your position there if its ok to ask.

So you are saying Bayliner or Maxum is going to be building a 280?

:huh::huh::huh::huh::huh::huh::huh::huh::huh:
 
Any Idea when/if they are going to make the 240SS available in the US?
 
Welcome Chelepop.

I don't want speak for the rest of people, but I appreciate your participation here. I just don't understand your motivation. It would be helpful to know what your goal is by participating on this forum. Are you in Marketing? Sales? R&D? Are you looking for feedback on what we think about the company? Customer Service? The quality of the boats? Different design suggestions? Are you doing this as part of your job to support the brand?
 
Chelepop-
We are trying to decide on a 390 or 40 Dancer Aside from the TV in the salon flipping up in model year 05 and on what other yearly changes were there to this model?

Are you the Sea Ray police or something? WTF man? Way to drive someone off the site! :huh:

I once joined a forum related to my company's products and services with the intent of just helping out. I had no other motive. I quit the forum after about a month. It was quite discouraging to find out for certain that I was indeed, the only person in the whole company who had a clue. I was better off when I only suspected it. I work with turkeys...
