I think if we all share our performance information it will be a very powerful tool for future references, new users and troubleshooting problems in all Sea Ray's , the numbers provided by the manufacturer not always echo the real world.

Power: Mercruiser 6.2 L MPI...
I accidentally ordered a LH Merc Alpha-4 Aluminum 4-Blade prop for my boat, instead of the RH. The Prop is BRAND NEW; has not touched the water.
$150 plus shipping (USPS) (cell: 401-269-1648) (rkulesh@gmail.com)
This is a brand new (never used) prop, WITH the hub installed (I cannot return it...
Looking for a 1985 Sea Ray Amberjack with twin V8's. I'm told they are not counter-rotational props. If that's true, is there any disadvantage? Will it still do a pivot turn? Will the handling be as stable? Is the performance as good? Is the direction determined by engine rotation or outdrive...
My boat's a 1998 Sea Ray 270 DA with low hours (~360). It was put through its paces through distance and weather (using a FULL TANK of fuel) as it followed the Annaleise Carr swim across Lake Ontario (see story here...
I am brand new to the whole boating scene, but hopefully did well with my first purchase- a 1995 SR 175 which seems to be in great shape. WOT of the 3.0L merc Alpha 1 combo is 4900 at 41 mph (by my gps). Do these numbers sound right? There are a few layers of very rough, peeling bottom paint...
Hi, we are a sundancer 240 user and are considering moving to a 2008 280 sundancer. The question / concern i have is around the engines. Do twins 4.3L w/ alpha drives perform OK? are they powerful enough to pull the boat out of the hole with a few people on board? How is docking with this boat...
I have a 2007 290 Amberjack with T-350 Mag MPI Bravo III (about 75 hours). I bought the boat used this year and have only put about the last 10 hours on it, but have a question about fuel economy.
Based on gage readings it appears the port engine uses fuel at a faster rate. Also, at my first...
:huh:HI Can anyone tell me what takes place on this first service. I have been keeping the rpm down most of the time and not running WOT. I am hoping that after the first service that she will feel quicker? any comments? Its hard to tell when i try not to open her up but with a short burst she...
I just purchased a 2008 270 AJ with the 6.2 Seacore and wanted to hear performance numbers from other owners. Range on a full tank, cruise and top end speeds, worst sea conditions for which you would go off shore, and anything thing else you may want to add.
Thanks in advance.
