Just spoke with the searay rep and he said for about $2k, he can install a cooling system in the IB motor, which should protect it from corrosion. I don't know jack about this...what are your thoughts?

Yes, it would be a wet slip. Ive read on this forum that the OB dont steer as nimble as the IB. Is that true? Stiffer turning maybe?

I live in LA and am really interested in the SPX 19 IB. I have been told by some people that the IB is a lot more maintenance, and will also cause a lot more problems then an OB. I have also been told by some searay dealers that it is more maintenance, but the IB are very good and as long as I...

really??? the spx 19 is advertised as "good for 11 people".

So Im interested in this boat, just for day cruising, putting around the marina, maybe spend a couple hours cruising up the coast. we would bring some friends with us, so could be 6 adults and a couple kids in the boat. Is the 135 hp engine enough? Or should I get the 180? I dont care about...

Anyone have experience with how this works? Are you getting a better deal by doing this smart start versus just building it out? Can you add options on top of the smart start pricing?

strange, all the SeaRay reps said its fine for the ocean (as long as its a calm day of course). I wouldnt be venturing out very far or in any kind of rough waters. But you guys got me nervous about it now. If you had 40k to spend and wanted a nice day boat to entertain some friends, what would...

is the SPX 21 much different or better at handling bigger waves?

think you responded to my other post lol but thats fine. My question was about whether the 19 SPX can handle the ocean or not...multiple people here say no, but I see a fair amount of similar boats in marina del rey.

Anyone?? No one owns one of these in southern cali?

stupid question im sure: Do you need to winterize if you live in los angeles???

thanks all for your advice. and to answer you, yes this would be for the ocean, though I probably would not stray too far from the coast. I'm surprised to hear that many of you are saying its not really for the ocean, when I have seen a fair amount of these in our marina here. Perhaps all those...

Thanks, what about the fuel consumption? I looked at OB also but sort of prefer the IB. But arent motors these days protected well against corrosion with zinc or whatnot?

I'd like to get a brand new spx 19, inboard, and dont know much about boating or boats but I love the water and we have the money to buy something like this. I'd like to keep it in a wet slip in Marina Del Rey, take it out and about, maybe up to malibu on nice days. Any advice on what I need...
