4.3 MerCruiser w/Alpha One
Hey everyone - have already had tremendous help on a few things thanks to this forum, so for that I thank you. Not new to boating, but new to my 2009 Sea Ray 195 Sport - have had it for a week now. Boat has 102 hours and motor has 1 (new 4.3 MerCruiser MPI). Previous owner had to replace motor due to bad winterization on original motor last fall.

Anyways - I am entering my 11th year as a high school Social Studies Teacher, 16th year for coaching Varsity Hockey, and 15th year owning 2 businesses (both in the graphic design/wrap industry - Engstrom Graphics, LLC and Sniper Hockey Designs, LLC). I can surely help you with decal needs for your boat.

I remember a guy years back who bought a tonneau cover from me on my old truck, turned out he was a marine mechanic. I asked him about boats and what brands he recommends (my wife and I at the time were about to purchase our first one) and I will never forget without a doubt he said Sea Ray. I would surmise around 10 years later, finally came full circle and got one and couldn't be happier with the upgrade from our previous Fish and Ski boat that got our 2 kids acclimated to the water - which they now love and will continue to do so via our new family boat.

Thanks again!
 
Welcome to the club and congrats on a great boat!
 
Welcome aboard!

What waters do you spend your time on? We were up in Red Wing and the Peppin area a couple of weekends ago. Beautiful waters!

We have a decent lake 5 minutes from us - and a bunch of others as well. But Prior Lake is pretty close, Lake Minnetonka, etc. When we go to the cabin up north the lakes are pristine and real clean - just a tad more chilly ha. Pretty lucky in Minny having 14,000 lakes - and actual lakes not ponds ha - where you have your choice of a multitude of lakes within 30 minutes and they don’t cost anything to go on (something I found is pretty normal in other states).

Nice to have a 1-2 hour window and go drop the boat in (if you don’t live on a lake).
