I am looking for a 27 foot sea ray weekender early 90's. I would prefer a boat with twin straigt inboards but not sure if sea ray makes a boat that small with twin inboards. Does anyone know if they do? Tollycraft

I agree with copB8tx regarding the 300 Weekender. I Had the 1988 with straight inboard screws. Good room to work on and never had a single problem in the 3 years I owned her. Great rough water boat and not too shabby on performance.. Good luck with your decision.

You have some excellant background and a good handle on what you want to do so, I can't offer much advise. What I can tell you after being self employed for 17 years is, do not buy or start a buisiness to create a job for yourself. Do it with only one thought in mind, to make money!, and you...

If your thinking about A/C your already thinking about a bigger boat whether you want to admit it or not!

Open hatches can be the problem but I have to ask, did you have the air turned up full (as in full cold), if so,close those hatches and turn the air up a little. When I tried to run mine on high when I first arrived at the boat on a hot weekend, it would ice up as well. Turning the air down a...

You may want to check with Raymarine but I doubt they will work that close togeather.

There should be a hull ID # on the outside of the transom, or possibly inside. The last 2 didgets represent the year the boat was made and perhaps you can then go to the Sea Ray archives on line.

I just finished waxing the boat. I have the 7" foam applicator pads that get velcroed onto the main pad. How do you guys get these things clean of the wax. I put them in warm dish soap water last night but not sure if that will work or there is a better way. Any better suggestions?

I agree, stranger things have happened. I have had to deal with registered trademarks in the past and was only giving the guy a "heads up" . I never stated it was a trademark violation I just said it could be. I can say this for certain though, there is tons of litigation happening as we...

I can't argue with that logic.

Really like the name but, Indigo is a Canadian book store. Is this a possible trade mark violation? Don't want to discourage you, but something to think about or possibly check on.

Solid advise from Frank. had a friend of mine go the "Ill purchase the part" route. The thing went bad and when he went back to the marine mechanic he stated "bad part". Well, I don't think I need to tell the rest of the story. As Frank said, they do it all, they fix if things go wrong.

Vamanos, there may be whats call a "step down" bildge pump which may be located under your steps down to your cabin. It should be an automatic bildge pump but should have a manual switch on your dash. I would at least check this first. Perhaps someone with the same boat will chime in and...

Dennis. What type of speed are you talking here. I just purchased a new Makita orbital, has a speed dialer from 1000rpms-3000

Thanks Dave. My gelcoat was in real good shape at the end of the season so am going to give just the wax a whirl first. I will take your advise at seasons end though, and do the compound then wax before layup. Thanks
