thanks! I hear what you are saying and I guess I already knew the answer to my questions. I suppose the marks also could of happened during the orientation as well. They launched the boat twice and loaded it on to the trailer for me as I have never done it before. But I do get the whole “it...

Ok. That’s kind of what I thought. I guess I didn’t know what is to be expected and what’s not. thank you. Dave

Sorry guys. The photos are not the best, I didn’t realize how dark it was outside. But you get the idea. I am going to post better pictures better tomorrow morning.

Hello We just purchased a new 2020 Sea Ray 19 SPX. It has about 0.70 hours on it when we took possession of it, so it appears to have a little time on the water for maybe a test drive or two. Anyways before we picked up the boat we did a walk around with the sales person and he used some...

Th Thank you for the kind words! And yes I totally agree with you. I think we will get a lot more use out of the boat if it’s easier to use and get aboard. Luckily when we launched the boat yesterday it was cold and windy so no one was at the ramp. I couldn’t imagine doing that on a Saturday...

thank you! We may be getting a slip too. My wife is shopping as we speak. I think we would have a lot more fun and plus my wife can take the kiddos out when I am at work too. dave

So got the boat today. It’s about 45 and over cast. So not the best day. But we took it out anyways! Couldn’t help ourselves! The boat drove amazing. It was everything would could want. I thought the hard part would be backing it up to launch and then backing the trailer up. Those things were...

Thank you sir! And thank you again for the advice and info! I am glad it all worked out. dave

thank you!

Thank you for the info, No salt water. We are fresh water lakes up here! I have read that salt water is bad for boats. Dave

Thank you for the kind words. Yes we didn’t want to feel overwhelmed as we hadn’t even planned on getting a loan in the first place. Although we had originally planned on renting a slip for the summer (we are not doing that now) so that helped add to our down payment. Although one thing that we...

thank you! We are excited for this weekend! dave

Hey all, thanks again for the input. We took out both boats and we went with the 19’. It was a hard decision and there were a ton of good points made by members here (19’ versus 21’, new versus used). The bathroom thing was also huge thing for us too. Also good point in the 19’ being...

Great advise on the 21’ footer guys. I am going to do a sea trial either today or tomorrow on both the 19spx and the 21spx and see what we like. When I stood in the 21 footer the only real difference I noticed was the back sun pad was bigger (and reclined up) and the front bow seemed a little...
