Haven't been to searay.com in a while, and just saw the new 'Smart Start' pricing strategy on the SPX line. That is *very* aggressive pricing, can't see how they aren't going after Chaparral and the success they've had with their H2O line. Must say, I'm intrigued by the outboards.
I live and work in SF, but wasn't able to get away from the office to go check it out today. Not sure if I can sneak away tomorrow, and am heading up to my cabin for the weekend.
Last year's show was a little sad (there was a 190 Sport, that's it), but....Sun Country Marine opened a yacht shop...
Not sure if there are any owners on the forum yet, but I was wondering:
Is the "Select" package (interior upgrade, stainless steel fittings) offered in the U.S. market?
Is the full body colored gel coat option an actual solid color, or a bottom & side combo separated by white?

Lots of information about the new model year...
Seeing the 4.5 start to pop up...
Looks like the flip down step sunpad might be spreading across some of the SLX line?

Very cool site, really like having 'build my boat' tools which let you see the boat!
Can't wait to see what's coming for the 2015 MY...
Looks like the 220SD is getting a new swim platform with a fold down step....
And Marine Max is teasing what appears to be a new 270 Sundeck?
Personally, I'm hoping to see the new Sport(s) that were referenced when SR canceled the Jets.
Hey Folks!
I'm dying to take my (winterized) boat out, but there is a slight chance we could have one or two nights of high 20's/low 30's temperatures over the next 3 or 4 weeks. I keep my boat stored indoors, but as it's new I'd hate to destroy the engine!
in this video, the guy demonstrates...
Well, I've crawled back through the Sport Boat forum (and used the search function) and can't seem to find a 230 SLX thread...
So shall we get this show on the road?

Okay, I'll admit it. My boat has height adjustable seats, and for the life of me, I can't figure out how to adjust them! I've read thru the owners manual (no info) and laid on the cockpit floor staring up at it to no avail.
Can anybody help me out here? I assume these seats have been around for...
Hey Folks,
Anybody have experience with Smart Craft/DTS boats which are equipped with Smart Tow?
I've surfed Mercury Marine's website, and there's not much information other than that it's an upgrade available on engines with DTS.
Also, I don't see anything about it on Sea Ray's website -...
Hey!
So, unless I overlooked it, my new boat doesn't have a fire extinguisher. I could be mistaken, but won't be able to check for a few weeks.
With that being said, when I do some research online (i.e. WestMarine, etc.) I see several types of extinguishers which have a HUGE price...
Well, it was sadder than expected when the driver dropped off the 230 and started hooking up my 190.
No regrets, and I did enjoy the experience of ordering it and getting updates from Velvet at Sea Ray:
There was one last "private moment" before he arrived, LOL:
And I really do hope...
Seeking Opinions on 210 & 230 SLX
Looks like the 350/Alpha1 and 5.0/Bravo3 options are somewhat comparably priced, within $800. Having never sat in an SLX, let alone taken a ride in one, anybody care to chime in on which would be a better option? Specifically for watersports.
Also, does the...
I've seen a few pictures surfacing on the internet, some 'glamour' teaser pics (with effects) from Sea Ray, and this (plain) one. Any thoughts, or other pictures to share? I'm curious as to how widely available this boat will be - will dealerships have the interest or resources to sell and...
Thinking about switching from fixed to swivel...'cause my 45 year-old back needs any break it can get.
Anybody have swivels, or make the switch from fixed?
Was it worth the cost and bother?
Anybody on here install one on their 185 or 190?
SeaDek suggests creating a template which matches the textured surface pattern on the platform, which on a 185 and 190 is pretty busy and would require many small cut-outs. (I believe the 185 and 190 use the exact same platform extension.)
So...
Hey Folks!
I purchased a OEM wheel and tire as a spare for the Shoreland'r trailer which came with a 2010 185 Sport. It's a 15" wheel in "Texas Silver" with a Carlisle tire. Was never used, or taken off the tire carrier. Purchased in July of 2011, so it's not too old.
It's taking up space in...
