    Thinking About Buying a Used Sea Ray

    Newbie Storage Mistakes

    Hard to keep the bow high and have enough room to lower the outdrive. I keep my boat bow low so the stern can be as high as possible to allow enough room for the outdrive to be as low as possible. I do keep my boat stored inside a non heated garage.

    How you can stimulate the economy...

    Nice malibu, I also like the new caprice. Either one would be on my short list if I was in the market for a car but instead I should be in the market for a mini van having a one year old.

    BR to Bahamas

    It is nice to have a Bible on hand but the Bible wont help you. You should know what is in the Bible prior to leaving land.

    Boating Plans for 2009

    This was our first year with the first mate. We still boated however it consisted of a short cruise to the cove and spending the afternoon on the hook swimming and taking naps. To be honest it wasn't too bad with fuel being what it was. Also keep in mind that babies love being on plane...

    Seneca Lake - Finger Lakes Area

    Keuka Lake is nice as well. This lake breaks up the typical finger lake. Hammondsport is nice and has a boat museum.

    Ok.....the offer's in.

    I would still winterize regardless. Winterization also helps with corrosion from long term layups as well as freezing temps.

    Disconnecting Power Before Getting Trailer Wet

    I leave mine plugged in. At night it helps with seeing the trailer when loading up.

    Thinking about a new Sea Ray

    Find one that is in stock. I am looking at 220 Sundeck, I was in to drop off my 180 to get winterized. The sticker for the 220 was $55k, right off the bat, the sales guy knocked $12k off and I didn't say a word. I am sure I can do better when I am more serious.
