Calling all sedan bridge 300/305 owners

I have been running my 1989 sedan bridge 300 since 1993. Been a great boat. Just wanted to hear from other 300/305 owners.

I have always wondered about that boat. How it rides? Handles docking? Interior space? Do the windows leak? Getting to the bow? Had one at our marina for about 2 months. Did not ever get to talk with the owners. Looked unique to other Sea Rays. Hopefully some answers. JC

She was the smallest of the sedan bridges. 30' with a 12' beam. She handles great on open water. She has tunnel drive. Easy to dock, but moving astern, I think is a bit dicey at times
I have owned her since 1993. ( She is 1989 ). Never any window issues. The wide beam, gives you nice interior space. Well thought-out interior. Two staterooms. Good closet and draw space below. Never had any issues getting to the bow, I did install an additional Port / starboard grab rails on the front of the bridge. My biggest complaint would be her real tight engine room.
She's a great cruiser. When I brought the old girl she had bout 75 hours on her. Last summer we rolled off 1220 hour mark. We cruised as far north as Toronto on lake Ontario, spent a few summer on the Hudson River, cruising east to Block Island and around the Long Island sound along the New York side.
Went the Thousands islands a few times . And many other lazy days cruising the new York barge canal.
We are finally home now, home Port, Mid Way marina in Port Clinton oh. I can't wait for summer. We will celebrate her 29 th year afloat cruising the Western basin of lake Erie, just like the engineers at Sea Ray intended.

What a great post SeaRay30. Thanks and GOD bless. JC

Lol, I've spent alot on her for sure.

Oops meant alot of time aboard her.

Hello, I am looking at a 1989 300SB and would like some advice on getting to the Port engine. I have seen a few online that have the Starboard engine either overhauled or replaced but not the port. It appears in the pictures that you can remove part of the dinette. Is that true?

Yes, you can remove the rear half of the dinette to access the port engine
