Howdy!,
I picked up my first boat about a year ago... 87 Sorrento Its been great. A few projects here and there to keep it running but for the most part it has been no troubles.
I wonder if there are other sorrento owners on this thread?

Welcome from Louisiana. There are a few Sorrento owners and we owned an '87 S-24. If I can help with your projects let me know.

Thanks Shawn. Parts... Where is the best place for parts? I can typically find engine parts etc. However replacement sea ray parts seem to be a bit more of a challenge.

Thanks! It's a process. I sanded and buffed the Blue Gel coat last week. It was really oxidized. I will do the white soon. Does anyone know if there is a place to purchase decals and pin striping?

Not sure if they have graphics for the classics but check here. Great Lakes Skipper

The boot stripes should be easily sourced. Might have to try Etsy or Ebay for the logo decals.

Sorry for the delayed response. I was on vacation. What kind of parts are you looking for?
