Soon to be a low hour 2014 32' regal with 'fresh bottom paint' on boat trader :) Hard to believe that thing ended staying upright after slamming into the rocks, guys were lucky..

I've had gray and teak colored on two different boats. the teak would get a little warmer in the sun but not enough to stop me from getting that color if it matched my boat color scheme better. This 220 came with the darker grey as a factory option and I'm fine with it.

+1 A shorter light would be a simple fix, but the light has to viable at all angles around the boat, Sea Ray didnt put that 7' light in there because they had it laying around :) Luckily I can lash it to the bimini easily and it stays put. My last couple cruisers had the light on the arch but...

salt water or fresh? My old 260 sundancer was used in saltwater before I bought it and it really took its toll on non-sealed connections, had to replace/clean quite a few of them. If you are freshwater its odd to have so many bad connections, I have been boating in freshwater for 30+ years...

I have a 2015 220 sundeck now and it has like a 7' anchor light, it is a couple feet taller than the bimini and attached pretty low on the stern so it huge. It will not stay tight and it has fallen off once already, was able to retrieve it luckily. I cant see how it can possible stay tight...

Sea ray has the basic 21spx OB on their web page for 39,995 with a trailer and 150hp outboard. When I bought my '15 220 sundeck last spring they had the 220 SD 'smart start' at 52,995K without a trailer with no options. I ended up paying 52K (+ tax) for one with a trailer and 2800.00 in...

The Navionics app is available for android, it is just as detailed as their maps for chartplotters and much cheaper.

A decent plotter/GPS will help you out, lowrance has a fairly cheap 4" model I use on this boat but with a mapping card I need for where I boat it can still get pricey. You can also use an iphone and the navionics app, it works pretty well. You can set the safety depths so you can see where...

The fresh water goes in the top half, the waste goes in the bottom where the pumpout hose attaches. the only connection between the top and bottom tank is when you open the flush handle and pump the water from the top to rinse it into the bottom tank. Your waste tank (bottom half) is only 2.5...

Water fill should be on top RH side, one side has the bellows you pump, the other has the fill for fresh water. You can either fill it (freshwater) with a hose in the boat or separate the top and bottom and fill the tank wherever you wish. Do not put deodorant into the top tank. The deodorant...

Interior was cheap, doors rattled over bumps, infotainment was terrible and most of all the ecoboost. Not only only did it get bad mileage, but it tried to kill me and my family a few times. If you do some research there was an issue with the earlier 3.5 ecoboosts that would just die in the...

Sure does say that, I didnt look at page 4 :) I didnt see it in the 2015 Ford owners manual though, granted I just glanced through it. If thats what Ford says then I dont know what to tell you except dont buy a Ford. I had a new loaded '13 ecoboost F150 with max tow and I hated it, only kept...

Its hard to find the exact spec, you will see class IV hitches rated for more but seldom less. I have seen some OE class IV rated at 1000lbs/10,000 but most are 1200/12000. WD system does not make the hitch able to carry more weight, it allows the hitch to distribute the weight to the...

A class IV hitch is rated at a minimum 1200lb weight carrying, 12,000lb load regardless of what truck its bolted on. If its not it can't be called a class IV. Of course the trucks have a limitation, but its not the hitch if it has a class IV. The owners manual for this '15 Silverado says...

Re: 220 Sundeck Thread - What Is Your Tow Vehicle? Most new trucks with tow packages have class IV hitches, my old '13 Ram 1500 and new '15 Silverado 1500 have class IV hitches stock. I would be really surprised if the new F150 with a trailering package had only a class III. When I was...

I had an '08 non-sear ray bowrider with a 5.0 MPI with 50 freshwater hours that ran 180-190 according to the gauge. I replaced the impeller (Alpha), thermostat, checked all the hoses for kinks/blockage and everything seemed fine. The exhaust manifolds were barely warm after running the boat...

I get about 2psi at idle and 10psi at 4000rpm, when my transom was corroded and inlet hose was pinched about 60% I got about 1/2 that for water pressure but it still never overheated or ran hot. My boat spent 2.5 years in saltwater before being using in freshwater the rest of the time. I've...

I clean the screen/strainer on the water pump every year when I winterize my boat and I am amazed at the nasty stuff thats in there. I would never drink the water out of my freshwater tank, washing hands even with the rotten egg smell isnt a big deal but I never drink the stuff even if it...

Yea, while I could boat all year by October I'm pretty tired of it, kids are back in school and it gets dark at 5pm - not to mention it gets pretty cold at times. Putting it away for 5 months is like getting a new boat every spring to me, gives me something to look forward to.
