Spacious Interior that can sleep 7
Zero Leaks
Solid Fiberglass hull
Teak Wood and a classy Gentleman's...
There is no market for a 26k 360. I'm sure if he wants to sell the boat it will be getting reduced drastically.
I also picked upmy boat of from Michigan and had it shipped to Phoenix for about the same. The place is a Gold mine for well kept 80's Rays due to the short boating season. Would love...
I have the 310 model with two 454 Crusaders ( Model 350). They are solid in my experiences. They will guzzle some fuel if your running them wide open so be aware of that. But if your just cruising they are all you need. Id love to have the 360 for the added space. I assume you are getting a good...
I found the following info below in a older thread to identify where the boats were manufactured and was shocked to discover that my SERE VIN indicates it was made in Ireland. I know that there are quite a few 310's in the US and find it hard to believe this is accurate. Does anyone have an...
Good morning,
I purchased my boat last year and in the Survey it was indicated that Hull has several coats of Interlux 2000/2001 epoxy as a barrier.
From what I have read this is just a gray or white primer correct? Then it had to be painted because currently black but needs to re coat.
What...
My boat still has the original locks but those are very close to whats on there. I will get some close ups this weekend and see if I can get a make or model number off them.
Its similar to this

I vote for the Vanguard
Better Cabin layout ( Sofa & dinette convert to beds and a door on the rear bedroom )
454's
Direct Drives
12 FT Beam
I was very close to buying a 86 300 Weekender but ended up choosing the 310.
I really enjoy taking it out and entertaining my friends on it. The Cockpit is so spacious, Ive taken six people out several times and its far from cramped. I will use the cabin more now since its cooled off here in AZ, 95 during the day and 70's at night. LOL
Most people are impressed with the...
I bought a 82 310 vanguard Express cruiser in Dec that was re powered. The Survey came back good, the moister levels were acceptable, nothing crazy.
The boat is rock solid and I love having the 12 FT beam.
Ive ran into a few guys here in Phoenix that know the boat well since it was built...
I ended up buying the new breaker but before it arrived I did try the Locktite Gel Super glue. I applied a nice amount on both ends and then also coated the hairline areas with a few coats. I came back to the back this past weekend and the switch operated fine. I don't think the...
Thanks for all all of the information guys!
I found this one on Amazon after knowing what to look for.

MY boat is a 1982 SRV 310
That was the first thing that came to mind but I assumed it would fail again due to the resistance of operating the switch since its a lot heavier to operate than a light switch.
I should probably remove it the next time I'm at the boat and get a part number or maybe try to glue it. No harm in...
I made the mistake of bumping my Cockpit light switch with the engine cover and it broke.
Is this a universal switch? or Searay specific? Ive been searching online and cannot seem to find anything close to this.
Just need to be pointed in the right direction on my options.
My 310 came without the Aft seating and I would like to replace it with originals or any custom configuration.
Any one have anything like this that they are not using or know of any salvage boats?
