So this isn't about the debate which one is better, this is merely an ask for your perspectives on this subject.
I'm moving early August back to Florida, and I happen to be partial to Sea Rays, and I don't really fish. We putz around, sandbars, snorkle, light water sports w the grand kids, restaurants, no sleeping in the cabin...too hot down there and I don't want to wet slip a 30fter.
I'd like to find a suitable Sea Ray but wondering about the salt water issues not only circulating through the block and risers but in the air corroding the engine externals.
Outboards are the trend now...if I buy new it won't be a SR, I like the Hurricane and I like the Yamaha, but Im also open to a nice used 21-23 cuddy or bow rider, these tend to be IO's.
Your pros and cons please. This is only a sanity check.
Thank you
