    Rant: Sea Ray Engineers/Designers

    No Crown, the heat index was 107 on Saturday, several ice cold beers and a couple of Mudslides fit the bill a little better than the Crown. Nice choice though, I prefer ElDorado 12 y/o rum.

    Rant: Sea Ray Engineers/Designers

    Update on replacing the vacuum pump on the Sea Ray. It is done!:smt038 Didn't lose too much skin, only took 2 men, a women (The Admiral) and a baby to get it completed, that plus 12 hours and tearing the salon apart to get to the 18" x 4" access hatch, disconnecting the exhaust hose for the...

    Rant: Sea Ray Engineers/Designers

    It is not a mater of high expectations but certain items which will eventually have to be replaced should be in a fairly accessible area..

    Rant: Sea Ray Engineers/Designers

    That is probably our next vessel either the trawler or the sport fisher. Have been looking for down the road, the Admiral and I are not sure what we want at this point. Needs to be something with basically one main floor, the steps on the AC are killing the Admiral, the constant up and down....

    Rant: Sea Ray Engineers/Designers

    If I ever meet the SOB who had a hand in the design of my 370AC, they will have a bloody nose. I have been a designer and field engineer over the course of my professional career and the one thing I also kept in the back of mind was serviceability. That is not the mantra at Sea Ray or was, do...

    Cat 3116 blowing grey-white exhaust

    I have a 1999 Sea Ray 370 AC with twin Cat 3116TA's in them.

    Looking for a detailer

    I second Doozie's recommendation. Made arrangements a couple weeks ago with Blitz and they won't get my boat until the end of May beginning of June. Weather set them back almost a month. Joe is a great guy also. His team attack a boat like an ant colony to food, but the work they do is...
