I live in East Tn close to the Sea Ray plant. There are always lots of Sea Rays at the local lake. In 2005 I bought a 2000 Sea Ray 185 with a 4.3mpi engine. It was a great boat and my wife really loved it. We used it for 4 years and sold it for more than we paid for it. It was really well built. I bought a couple of other boats since the 185. We decided we were ready to buy a brand new boat and knew it had to be a Sea Ray. We went to the local dealer and was really surprised about how much they are cheapened down. We were looking for something around 21-23'. We looked at a new 210 and there is no comparison between a 2014 and a 2000. Has cost cutting taken over at Sea Ray. We will have to look elsewhere. Really sad.
