A few scattered thoughts Personally I like the mag...looks good and I get some questions on what kind of boat do I have. I think Sea Ray needs to strive to be the boat of choice again...brand loyalty is good right now but I have noticed some grumbling among other owners. When I got back into...

1) Magazine - have a historical section which may have a restored or older model explaining the owners loyalty to Sea Ray. This will relate to lot of the owners on this board and beyond. Also will stress durability. You need to keep the new boat features but most owners are not buying the new...

Re: How old were you when you bought your first boat? The young are not buying boats 25 (1982) -18 ft baja that would run about 70 mph. added a 15 ft whaler then traded both for a 1980 24 ft Sea Ray weekender. The baby boomers are getting older - duh, every part of the economy will have to...

Ditto what Kreole Kid says - the Tickfaw, Tchefunchte (che-funk-ta) Amite and Tangipahoa will lead you all the way to the gulf if you are willing to ride. All of the areas are fun - but will be hot. Lake Ponchartrain is a brackish water lake that can be smooth as glass or really choppy. Water...

If you have dockside power and assuming the cover is on - I run a small dehumidifier in the cockpit. Have to dump it every two weeks but since I started not a bit of mildew anywhere and it smells great when you pop the top. If you skip a week it will automatically cut off when full and the...

Kreole - I have not been out since Issac, anybody have any issues with debris still floating around? I was waiting to get a few reports.

Not sure how Kreole Kid fared - I got a private message from him a few days ago, but I have been away for a few days until this all settled down. We (SE LA) were definitely in the cross hairs. All has passed and surge waters have receded. My marina has floating docks that worked like a charm. We...

I literally just posted to the Club Sea Ray suggestion blog that we need a weather related forum for just these times. When posted in the general discussion they sometimes get lost in the shuffle. All weather related issues would qualify...not just hurricanes. On the gulf coast we are watching...

New category: With hurricane Issac brewing in the Caribbean I got to thinking that it would be nice to have a weather related category for members to post to. There have been several instances in the past where I would wonder about the well-being of other boaters in other parts of the country...

No matter what you do...it is a win win.

Well, so much for getting useful info out of you guys for the twin boats. Jealous would be the word of the day.

Thanks for the backup...I have been wanting to investigate this but was worried it would change the handling characteristics too much. You have given me a unique perspective as we basically have twin boats.

Last report I read was that "the 1984 Silverton was a very recent purchase". I can imagine the captain telling everybody to come see the fireworks on his new boat. He has no idea how the boat reacts, or even that he is illegal. He goes blindly out to watch the fireworks with an overloaded boat...

This would end my boating career dead in its tracks...throw them the keys and say " have at it the boat is yours". No one in my family would ever set foot on the boat again. I thought we had the market cornered on reptiles and such. I would rather find an alligator on the boat that this pack of...

I notice someboody mentioned a bell. I have a bell mounted just under the helm seat. It will ding around in rough weather from time to time. Early this year I headed out into Lake Pontchartrain in La in a little bit of chop. I had a early season miss in the port engine and wanted to see how it...

I wrote you via private message about my old weekender back in February. Mine was an' 80 but the boats look identical down to the mirrors. You are doing a great job...brings back some good memories. Keep up the good work. I wish I could find my old "Blues Bros" and give it a good face lift. If...

I have the same boat - always a challenge to work through Sea Ray's ability to confuse an owner on what model they have. They new 390 is the 38. Not sure what the 04-05 model is the equivalent of I am sure a foot or two longer. Anyway I had the same issue with CO2 monitors...had them all...

I had the same issue, they went off everytime I went out and I would reset within a 30 second time frame, no way for the air to clear. No problems the rest of the day. No rhyme or reason for the the CO2's to go off, at the dock with no genny running, under way with the door closed or open, at...

Oh no, don't dare ask this question on this board...you may get your hands slapped. A lot of the guys can't stand for anyone to ask a question that has been asked before. This will start a war - not that I care, I would steer clear of the letters. Even if you are careful you will get residue on...
