Hi to everyone, Just to introduce myself to the club....I am a born and raised Floridian from West Palm Beach.... left in the 80's moved to chapel hill,NC ..Career LEO...moved back to Florida 2013 to St Augustine is now home port....the wife and I wanted a live aboard/weekender kindaof thing....we found a 1988 SeaRay 345 sedan bridge...I think in excellent shape... I was raised around boats all my life my uncle owned a marina in Jupiter,Fl so I was always on the water....

Anyway that's alittle about me I look forward to checking out the forums and learning about the tips and tricks and do's/don'ts with the SeaRay….
 
Good luck with the ole classic and thank you for your service!

I remember the boat well...it did not last many years but was a unique model for sure. I would have sprayed the gel coat on your hull and deck. A lot of the 345's had either a gray stripe, or green one around the deck. That required two sprays as the colored stripe is also gel coat. Cool boat, nice find.
Even though I am a Floridian in Cocoa Beach, my daughter who was raised here, is a director at UNC, Chapel Hill....love going to visit in the fall.

Willy, congrats on the new boat and finding CSR. As others have mentioned, we need photos of your new baby, your family using it and the waters you boat on.


Again, welcome to CSR. Nice to have another cop on board.
 
Willy, Welcome to CSR from another former cop. Always good to see another who walked that Thin Blue Line.

As others have mentioned, we always like to see photos you your new baby, your family on the boat and the waters you boat on.

Hey Willy - welcome to the world of "Breaking Out Another Thousand!" Any Qs about your boat ask me. I had an '89, which had galley up but is essentially the same boat. 9 seasons with her. Best of luck!
