All kidding aside, that is one sweet ride into the Sea Ray history books!:thumbsup:

Hi Everybody, Yeah this thing weighs a ton. The figures that I downloaded from Sea Ray says it weighs 1100 lbs. without the engines! I don't really know what the engines weigh but they're not lightweights. Gotta be leaning towards 2000 lb. total. It comes up on plane really nice when you throttle it up. Top speed is around 34 knots according to the speedometer. As for price, the former owner started out at $3500.00 and I got her down to $3000.00. I thought I got a heck of a deal! Don't know how many hours are on 'em but both engines are really clean under the covers. I don't think is was used all that often. Still have a few things to do before getting it in the water this spring. Both lower ends will have to have new gaskets and seals but kits are available for less than $25.00 so I can live with that. Will be glad to answer all questions. I love this Boat!!!!!! Bob

I was looking at the pictures of your boat in my office when the wife snuck up behind me stating rather loudly "DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!" LOL.....she must have thought I was looking for another toy. I have to say that you found the find of the decade thats for sure.
Well, time to go tell the wife that I put an offer in on your boat so when she gets upset it gives me an excuse to go back down to the boat and play.

I really don't know how you would catagorize it??? They call it a "Cruiseabout". I have to remember to keep ducking my head when I go up towards the bow, my head is taking a beating!!:smt021 I don't have that much hair to cushion the blow. Had it out a few weeks ago when it was in the 80's but we've had snow flurries since.:smt013 I love Michigan weather! (NOT!)
