    Towing 19 230SLX with mooring cover??

    For our new 19 230SLX we opted for the mooring cover rather than the snap on covers. Anyone out there towed a newer SLX or SPX with the mooring cover? I’ve asked 2 people at the dealer and one said no problem & the other said they advise against it. We will be towing the boat about 2 hours...

    We are Sea Ray owners again- new 2019 230SLX

    Well we are officially Sea Ray owners once again after a 5 year hiatus with a Malibu. Looking forward to getting our new 2019 230SLX out on the water soon! We debated back and forth on finding a leftover 2018 as well as what 230 or 250 model we wanted and our dealer eventually offered us the...

    230 SLX- no longer have tow speed control?

    As you might of seen I've been torn and all over the place before signing on the dotted line for a new Sea Ray bowrider (multiple recent threads). We just sold our Malibu and are looking to get back into a Sea Ray (we previously have owned 3 over the last 15 years). One thing we would like is...

    Any 230 SLX-W owners out there?

    We were close (almost signed last night) to agreeing to a new 2019 SPX 230. After more thought my wife and I are really intrigued by the 230 SLX-W. I know it is discontinued this year (was only built for 2017 & 2018) but we are coming from a Malibu wakeboard boat and looking for something that...

    230SLX & 4.5 Engine

    I’m about to sign a deal on a leftover 2018 SLX 230. My only real holdup is it has the 4.5L 250HP engine. Anyone have this setup or experience with it? Just seeing if it is sufficient. My thought is with just a few people on board it probably would be just fine pulling tubers, etc but...

    New SLX purchase

    Its been about 10 years since we bought a boat that was brand new. Last 2 have been used. We are currently looking at either a new 230 SLX (as there’s next to no used on market) or a slightly used 250 SLX. We are leaning towards 230 due to weight though. Question, nowadays what should one...

    Satellite TV

    We are in the process of looking at some used 2004-2008 DA's in the 34-40 foot range. The one's that do have satellite installed all seem to have Direct TV. Is Direct the only option for a boat? I asked as we have Dish for our home and our motorhome (which we will be selling when going back...

    Engine & Generator hours

    Possibly looking at a 38-40DA. I’d prefer diesel for efficiency. We currently have a diesel motorhome which people say could run pretty much your lifetime. What about diesel boat engines & generators? Should I be concerned if some are in the 1,500-1,800 hours range? We are looking at...

    Selling your boat on your own (for sale by owner)

    Wanted to get feedback if anyone has tried or sold their boat by themselves rather than using a broker? I have had my boat listed for almost 6 months (6 month listing comes up in 2 weeks), had a few offers, and one signed sales agreement before the guy backed out. At this point my thought when...

    07 310 DA selling price

    We are possibly looking at selling our current 310. We just recently put a contract on a summer lake house up in Michigan so I don't know how much use our 310 will get with that, as well as our 1st baby on the way next month. We are thinking of going smaller to a "lake boat", something in the...

    V Drive seacocks

    I usually check and clean my ac seacock every 2 weeks with how hot it's been around here (100 +/- daily) and generator not as often (every few months). Since I bought the boat (brand new), I have yet to check the seacocks for the twin engines. I have about 150-170 hrs on the engines now. How...

    Gen cutting out

    Thought maybe somebody would have some ideas of what is going on. We just had our boat pulled to get waxed and detailed, and then went out this weekend. When starting up the generator it would start, and then cut out because of lack of water being primed. I know sometimes when its taken out...

    Seeing if someone could help me out. By my user name I'm a FSU alumni and football season ticket holder. As some of you might know it looks like Bobby Bowden will be retiring today and there are rumors that the Gator Bowl will pick FSU to face West Virginia (where he coached earlier in his...
