Don't know the specifics, but guessing the margins on 40 plus foot boats can't support the fixed cost plus the necessary investments. How many 40 plus foot boats do they sell now-a-days?
Also guessing the market is unwilling to pay more for a Sea Ray than say a Prestige or Galeon. Market...
Hold on. I have the 6.2's and they are just fine. I can get on plane with no problems and there are 6 of us - 2 adults and 4 kids. I regularly cruise at 3200-3500 rpms at speeds between 17-19 mph, just depends on waves, weight etc.. Everything I read here about the 8.1's tells me my boat is...
Hey John - I think we met shortly after you bought your boat, just you and your wife right? I'm in slip 39 at B&E, the 340 with 3 kids and the maui mat on the bow.
You may need a snow suit if you still plan on the 19th. Just heard this morning that this is the coldest start to April in over...
After I changed the impeller on my generator, I quickly decided that I was not going to do the impellers on my engines - I was sore for two days. It was a royal PIA and I have the 6.2's.....
Good luck!
Warranties will either be assumed by the buyer or retained by Brunswick so I wouldn't worry.
Sea Ray boats have become so expensive that I'm guessing their sales volume declined accordingly - probably not a guess....
Brunswick most likely wants to sell boats they can produce and sell to the...
I have a rudder indicator, which I finally got to work. It was never critical when parking, but also glad I got it to work.
When it wasn't working, I turned my wheel all the way to port or starboard then countered that to the middle, which was about 2 turns.....
Totally agree. Waves were horrible this year - many weekends where the waves were 3 foot plus. Looking like Labor Day weekend is going to be good, low 80's. No idea what the winds are supposed to be though.....
Weather is going to be so so this weekend - nothing to get excited about. The weather in Chicago has been terrible all month - cool and rainy. Any warm day we've had has been accompanied by gale force winds. Lake Michigan is freezing too - low 50's. Its usually warmer this time of year. No...
It will never get built. Is been discussed for many years now.
East side isn't to bad, not great either. It's the south and west side that are war zones. That being said, a lot of the riff-raff have infiltrated nicer areas and have negatively impacted what use to be nice events. For...
The price of oil keeps declining. Let's hope gas prices follow and the trend continues all summer.
Just need the weather to change - been crappy in these parts for the past couple weeks, ugh!
