Good day everybody, I just acquired a 1973 sea ray 160 with a Mercruiser 140 horsepower I/O engine. Boat needs A LOT of work including new seats, carpet, minor engine work, and probably new electricals. I will be using this as a chase boat for my NACRA 5.7. I am the director of a nonprofit...
Hi,
I am 38 and brand new to boating. I have been on the water on a few boats, but this is my first to own.
On the water it performs as it should. The RPM gauge is sporadic. Seems to work, but also seems to be high sometimes. Outboard up and down gauge and Oil pressure gauge do not work. Some...
This is my first post and my first boat, please forgive me if the information I'm asking for is located somewhere on the form.

Things I know about the boat

Never owned a boat, did just finish rebuilding motor and complete restore of a bayliner bass striker with a force 50 for a friend. While testing on the ohio river in Louisville I caught the bug. And went out and bought a 1985 Sea Ray Cuddy cruiser with a mercruiser 350, I think. guy said if you...
Hello everyone i'm a new member and first time owner of a SeaRay. To give a little background I found a beautiful (to me anyway) 1997 230 Overnighter Signature Select wasting away under an old carport. Most people probably would have sent her to the junk yard, but not me I could see past the...
I am about to commit to a new 400 Fly but am having second thoughts as to if I should hold out for a used 16' or 17'. A 16' will be about $100k less but of course finding that new of a used boat is not all that easy but they do come up. Any thoughts as to the advantages of new other than...
New to this forum. I have owned many boats but this is my first Sea Ray. Moved to Michigan from Naples Florida last year so I have downgraded size and have purchased a 210 BR lakeboat. I have solid knowledge about many different boats and engines and will be happy help others.
I am a proud Searay owner, of a 2000 180 Bowrider, we live part time in Panama and the rest of the time in Texas. Our boat is in Panama and we have been having a ball, going through the Panama Canal and then into the ocean to an Island off Panama call Toboga. The boat runs great, minor issues...
Hi all! I'm from Venezuela and have a 320 Sundancer 2005! I just joined the club interested in finding answers to some questions that I have such as the misterious stbd swicht panel which suddendly stopped working in any of its 16 functions! I'm completely to the order of any of you for any...
My family and I just bought a '98 Sea Ray 190 Bow Rider. The model we have, besides the bow-seating, features swivel-seats, a bench back seat and a sun deck over the motor. We've had it out 3 times since purchasing and are learning more and more each time. Like, for example, run premium rather...
Hows everyone doing?! Just got on this site after I bought my very first boat last week. A buddy of mine told me to go on a club site to find out the ins and outs of my SeaRay! Looks like there is a lot of good info on here already and I hope to meet some new people too!
Thanks

Hi All,
Just joined this site after buying my first Sea Ray boat this summer. Looking forward to hearing from other members with similar boats about problems, fixes, and suggestions on how to get more fun from the boat with the least input of stress, strain, worry and cash.
I live in the...
