    25ft SLX 8.2L

    I have side exhaust and I like it. Reminds me of my 42' Fountain (not quite as loud but nice sound). Windlass would have been nice but most of my anchoring is relatively shallow so not a big deal. Full disclosure here, I am a former MarineMax General Manager but owned Sea Rays long before I...

    25ft SLX 8.2L

    I own a 2014 250SLX with the 8.2. Great boat and good performance. The 350 is fine if you do not pull or haul a lot of people with the boat but I highly recommend the 8.2. There are some options on the arch design that were not available when I purchased mine. I have the fixed fiberglass...

    270 slx ski locker have a drain or pump?

    I have a 2014 250SLX with this same ski locker bilge pump setup. I have tried contacting Sea Ray about the poor design but they have not responded. Your issue maybe the same as mine in that the locker is relatively flat with minimal sump for bilge pump. Therefore a significant amount of water...

    Looking @ '96 250 Sundancer buying help

    You might get more responses in the Sport Cruiser section since a 250 Sundancer is not a Sport Boat but is a Sport Cruiser model. Best of luck.

    Bilge pump in center storage compartment on 270 SLX

    On the newer "Quiet Ride" boats the ski locker is sealed from the engine compartment and there is no drain just a bilge pump. Float switch is so high you get standing water in ski lockers regularly. Fuel tank is located below so it is hard to design a deeper sump for the ski locker pump. Sea...

    New 250 SLX

    I have the 8.2 (502 not 496) and it is the only choice if you plan to carry several people and pull someone at the same time. The 350 is fine but will work much harder when loaded with gear and people. I also have the fixed forward leaning arch and it is well worth the dollars for comfort and...

    Bilge pump in center storage compartment on 270 SLX

    It should be on a float switch. However if it is like other SLXs, the water level required to kick the switch on is higher than you probably want. I have an inspection port in front of mine and after rains I reach in and turn it on by hand.

    250 SLX Ski Locker -- Water

    I have a 2014 250 SLX that has the water in the ski locker issue. I have contacted Sea Ray about the issue but no response yet. They could solve the issue with a check valve in the discharge line so that the water could not back flow from the over board hose. I do not have the plug leak issue.

    250 SLX 2014 Owners Thread

    My ski locker got wet with rain water and you are correct the pump takes a significant amount of water before it kicks on. I also had some fiberglass shavings from original construction that jammed the pump. I sent pictures and recommendations to Sea Ray in TN about the need to address these...

    I have the SeaDeck/Plasdeck on my swim platform. I have not taken any pictures except overall shots. Tried to insert but the size is too large. I am not a photoshop guy!

    Calling all 360 DA owners

    There was a guy from the Netherlands on here that had diesels. Check page 1 and maybe you can PM him. Yanmars were not typically sold in the USA but there are a few. I sold my 360 thru MarineMax and I understand 2 guys from Chicago bought it. So if you guys see a boat name Notorious in...

    250 SLX 2014 Owners Thread

    Just an update from my original post. The table base was ell shaped and has been replaced. Also the speedo issue was a software problem in the Tach not talking to the speedo. That was corrected with a new Tach. MarineMax was responsive to both issues and handle them in a timely manner. The...

    Calling all 360 DA owners

    I always let the marina do mine. Be careful with your part selection. Sometimes it takes more than just an impellor if you have had scoring inside the pump case. We use to raft-up in shallow water and small amounts of sand would be sucked into the pump over time. We had the 2002 360 since it...

    I got denied entry to a lake. How do I keep my sterndrive dry???

    For those who do not know, North Texas Lakes have a similar rule. It relates to Zebra Mussels. I have not had an issue yet since Texans have more common sense than Californians! HaHa.

    250 SLX 2014 Owners Thread

    Just took delivery of our new 2014 250 SLX from MarineMax Dallas. As you can see from my sig this is not my first Sea Ray. Wife saw the boat for the first time when we took delivery (she trust me) and she is very pleased. I do have a question for other 250 owners. The table that was in the...

    Ford 6.0 vs.7.3 Diesel

    I have a '99 250SD Crew w/7.3 that has been chipped it's entire life. Bought it because I pulled a 34' center console. I was MarineMax GM in another life time and pulled many different size boats with the truck. Like half full stated watch your gauges and you can pull the house behind these...

    Meridian?

    You guys need to think of small boats (Bayliner) seperate from larger (Meridian). The larger boats had a strong following on the left coast for value and that is why they changed the name. Think of Meridian as a spec built house versus Sea Ray as a semi custom. Both maybe okay depending on...

    Zebra Mussels

    Well I have been reading that zebra mussels are finally showing up in Lake Texoma. Some of you guys up north may have some experience with these pest. Is there anything you can do to retard or stop them from getting on your boat hull or mechanicals. I do not have a problem, I am just thinking...

    Can someone explain blue book values?

    Being a former GM of a MarineMax store, I know a little about how deals are considered. Do not be feel compelled to make any offer you do not like. Remember fair market valve means a willing buyer and a willing seller when neither are under any duress to make the deal. If you do not agee with...
