    Can You Guess How Big The New Sea Ray is? I hear it's BIG.

    I might have missed a post or two and might not be totally in the loop, but I really like this one. Is this a 65 SD? The full beam master is even more pimp than the 47 SD's with the wraparound back lit headboard. I didn't think anything could top that...

    Hi All, MarineMax is trying to put an HD Radome on my boat, instead of the non-HD open array that's listed as an option. Both are 4KW. I noticed that the retail price of the open array is about twice that of the dome. How hard should I push for the "right" action from them? How much of a...
