Just curious if anyone has seen or heard anything about these boats here in the US. The quality looks incredible and I like the Commander design.

I picked up a nice used 8' Zodiac on Craigslist, but I have a unique mounting requirement and am wondering if anyone has any clever ideas to make this work the way I need it to.
My boat has the integrated swim platform molded into the hull, but I also have added another teak swim platform...
If one was looking for an older Sea Ray with diesels, which are considered the best or most reliable and which are best avoided? I found the other thread about choosing the ideal older boat very interesting and hope to own something in the 35-45 foot range and probably an early '90s model some...

I have two of these that I pieced together for my last boat (alpha II) that was a twin, but now only need one in stock for the current boat.
This includes the three bellows, 4 clamps for the larger 2 bellows, a shift cable, the shift cable ends and bracket (3 pieces), a...
$10/Pr. shipped. I have 3 pairs in dark gray and one in medium red. Commercial exterior grade vinyl with application overlay. The decal consists only of the lettering itself just like an OEM decal.
Nice for your boat, truck, trailer, etc.
Email or PM.
Thanks, Mike
I uploaded some pics from our best vacation ever - 7 days in the Apostles with three friends on their boats and a large MarineMax Getaway group from the Minneapolis area.
If you are in the MN-WI-MI area consider this destination!

I installed a new electric macerator freshwater pressurized flush Raritan Sea Era and holding tank to replace a porta-potti with pump-out. I have never owned a holding tank, and my previous boats also had porta-potties.
What is the proper procedure for length of flush, max time between...
This is the bare hot/cold valve and box/door with the gold Sea Ray name/logo in the corner. No fittings, hose, showerhead. Standard on many newer Sea Rays. $40 shipped USPS Priority conus.
I rented a place with a nice dock on a FL canal and am debating installing a lift vs. keeping the boat in the water. Putting outdrive concerns aside...how much additional bottom maintenance can I expect keeping the boat in the water? Obviously I plan to paint the bottom first.
Has anyone ever...
I'm moving to St. Pete in January, and am considering bringing the boat down earlier (next week) so as not to have to winterize it and tow it down when we move in January with possible poor weather.
Can anyone in the area recommend a secure storage yard preferably at a Marina?
Thanks!
One is a 14 3/8 x 15 and the other is a 15 1/2 x 17.
The 15" pitch was used for about 10 hours and was a little too much prop for my boat. a 15" Vengeance ended up giving me a little more RPM on top end and similar speed. It is as new without a nick in it.
The 17" pitch is absolutely...
I have a very inconveniently located shore power outlet on the port side that is inaccessible from the cabin or deck. Basically you have to balance on the 3" walk-around adjacent to the windshield and try to connect the cable and screw on the cross-threading nut at your ankles.
Would there be...
My fuel gauge appears to be finished. I jumped across the sensor terminal and it won't budge off empty. I have a signal from the level sensor on the pink wire at the gauge.
Is there anywhere that I might be able to find an NOS '88 style gauge? This is the black 2" gauge with white lettering...
I noticed this stuff today. It seems similar to what you would find on a battery terminal. Is this indicative of a grounding or electrical system problem? My boat has been in the driveway and on shore power for the last 6 mos with the drive off. Hopefully it will finally get wet next weekend.
Anybody know where I can find a set of these?? They were a smoke color with blue and turqoise stripes, 7.4L, Sea Ray.
Or does anyone have any good pics that I can use to have a set made?
This has just worked out so well that I had to share it in case someone else has similar ideas but isn't sure how to pull it off. As an audiophile/Dolby Digital/movie addict I had to have a theater in my little cabin so I started buying Alpine parts last fall. Alpine seems to have the best...
We have finalized the dates for an Apostle Islands cruise. This will be a Sunday - Saturday cruise to allow a weekend day of travel on both ends. Some friends in Minneapolis just upgraded to a '95 250DA just for this cruise so 2 boats so far.
We have some books and other info on the islands...
Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with this model? I have searched the internet and found very little. I suspect they did not sell in huge numbers. I recently bought one and love everything about it so far (had it out once last fall) but I'm curious about the history of the model and...
