Bass Pro Shops or stores like this sell a nice 12V cigarette style pump for around $25. I use one, it takes a little longer to pump up my "Bertha" but it gets the job done...
Hey guys,
I have a after-market bimini top on the boat from Westland. It is a taupe color to match the rest of the interior vinyl. Measurement from outside to outside is about 92".
I have am looking for one the says "Sea Ray" across the back like a factory bimini boot would say. I would...
Hey, not all boating sucks in Iowa.
I live 10 minutes from possibly the best boating area in the country, called Lake Okoboji... If you have ever been here, you would agree also. We have people from California and Florida of all places, come here for vacation, along with a lot of...
Sad stories here... These stories is the exact reason our DNR is real strict when it comes to boating while drinking (.08, same as driving while drinking) and a 25 mph speed limit after sunset.
I saw a deal these last weekend on Okoboji that a guy had a 17' boat with 10-11 people in it. DNR...
The boat I bought last Oct/Nov was already winterized. The dealer summerized it for a test ride (our lakes were not solid yet), then re-winterized the very same day, while we negotiated deal. I will not take physical possession of the boat until mid-April, but I am making payments on it currently.
Actually, the last few days have been decent and we have melted alot of the snow, so in reality, it isn't all that bad!!
We will be boating in a matter of a few weeks... April 10th couldn't come sone enough (that is when my boat gets pulled from storage and gets summerized). :smt038
Man... calm down!! If you do not know already, but we are still covered in a foot of snow, and our lakes still has 20-25 inches of ice still on them. So I am willing to bet that his boat is still in storage and will not be available to take pictures until mid to late April...
Did you purchase from Mau Marine? We had just bought our 190 last fall, and have yet to take delivery of it.
Are you serious about Okoboji, that is where I do most my boating also!! So good to finally see someone else on beautiful Lake Okoboji. I have been on the board for several years now...
Granted my story is for smaller boats... but my local Crownline dealer has just ordered 125.... yes i said 125... of the 18-21 foot crownline starter boats.
Now dont forget we are in an inland lake that is huge tourist spot and the average boat size probably is 24-26 foot.
I see that your avatar says you have a Maxum 230, you do realize this is a Sea Ray owners website??? lol
Anyways, welcome to the site, Maxums are very nice boats. I have a buddy that has a Maxum 190 and it the quality is real similar to that of my Sea Ray. I live just south of you in...
Usually I have to have it ready to go the 2nd week of April as a backup plan for a fishing tournament the first weekend of May. We always use my father-in-law's fishing boat, but just in case something happens that his cannot go, we have mine ready as a backup!!
I just purchased a 2001 190 signature series with 120 hours in really good condition from a local dealer a few months ago. I ended up paying 14K, so I would say a 2006 with add ons would run 20K or perhaps more.
Nope, what does a survey entail? The boat is really clean and in good shape. I know you can't always go by that, but I also trust the marina I bought it from. They are my local sea ray marina and the one that I always purchase consumables from. Also, it was a consignment purchase, and I do...
Hey guys, just wanted your opinion on new-to-me boat. I just upgraded from a 1995 sea ray 175 (3.0L 4 cylinder) to a 2001 sea ray 190 signature (5.0L V8).
I have only been in this new boat once to test drive it. It is currently winterized already, so I will not have the chance to take it out...
Hey guys, Here is a simple question for some of you.
Last year my boat started just fine every time. Now this year, it normally starts right away and then dies. Then it will not fire a second time, unless I shoot it with starting fluid, then it starts right up. As soon as it is warmed up, then...
