Hey guys, I have a 1990 230 cuddy. Ive been researching, and it seems like these were supposed to have back to back seating in the driver and copilot area, and an engine cover with 2 jumpseats in the back. Mine doesnt. Its has bucket seats in front with a large engine hatch/sunpad/storage area and bench seat in the back. Am I wrong on the model, or did someone change this?
? about 230 CC

Is it possible you have a 220 OV?

I looked at that last night, but like I said mine doesnt have the back to back seating, and it has a bench seat in the rear and the engine hatch has a sunpad on top of it. There isnt an engine box. You have to lift the hatch to get to the engine, it doesnt pull out and its 3 seperate pieces. middle one uncovers engine and 2 sides are storage and have false bottoms. One side has a place where the table sits and straps in.
The seating arrangement is exactly like the P22, but my boat is marked 230 on the side. Heres the link to the place I bought it from, I got it about a month ago put it on the water twice and wrapped it up. boat is in my posession.
What do you think?

BigFish,
You can always contact SeaRay with your HIN#. They would be able to tell you for sure.
I do know that earlier CC models had back/back seating, or you could get an SX or SXL that had seating as you describe.
Only SeaRay would know for sure.
BTW, how fast does she go w/454? Ride?

Thats what I might have to do. Im drivin myself nuts trying to figure it out haha.
On a calm day on glass I can see 58 GPS. just cruisin right around 35. I had an 84 celebrity 188V before this and this ray blows that thing out of the water in terms of ride. I love it.
Thanks for the help guys.

I can top that.
Once, with our 240 Sundancer w/5.0 L with EFI + Aplha I gen II drive I hit 72 MPH on the GPS. Of course the boat was on a trailer being pulled down the highway with the GPS left on.

I think its the CC. First the OV has a bigger sink set up in front of the passenger seat. Second the OV has a wider beam of 102". The Pachanga doesn't have cabin windows and has 2 roof vents.
Take a looks at the spec sheet in the link above. The picture of the boat has different seating than the drawn diagram on the same sheet. Plus the boat is 17 years old. the owners could hav had some stuff redone. My

For whatever it is worth, I owned a 1990 210 bowrider with the configuration you describe. 2 bucket seats and a bench seat in the back. There was already a fairly good pad over the engine compartment. But the backrest of the bench seat folded forward. Three cushions were inserted over the bench seat, which made into a huge sunpad in the back; three sun-bathers wide. This was an optional configuration for this boat. Came standard with the back to back and jump seats in the back. Just sold it in '96. Got lots of compliments on that 210. Never have seen another like it.
