I am wondering what is going on here with their videos. Just a few months ago all the videos, with the exception of a few older ones could be viewed for free. Now when I go to view Sea Ray videos everyone one of them shows that I will have to pay in order to view them. I am wondering if maybe they somehow do this to folks who have viewed a lot of free videos. What has your experience been with this? I know I can still view videos of other boat brands for free on their site.
Boattest.com charging to view Sea Ray videos????

Dave- They are "for sale" on BoatTest, but you can get them for free via the Sea Ray website at: http://www.searay.com/boattest.asp
Very nice link prodigalson, I had never seen that before. Dave I noticed it the other day and went ahead and paid for it, wish I would have asked the question. That said I also use the site for test information (gph) etc. My understanding is all of the 2006 have gone into the archive which is why you have to pay for it. Once they test the 2007's they will be available for free.

The problem becomes when you want to look at at a 2003 340 DA, you would have to have the membership in order to look at the information correct? :huh:
Not necessarily Wesley. On the boat you mentioned go to the archives, select the 2003 320 Sundancer, and then click on "reviews" and you can link to the video that way. The test that comes up is for a 2002 model 320 because that's when the new model was introduced.
Thanks Dave, looks like I wasted $50 :smt021

He may be lousy, but it sure is nice to day dream about some of the on water shots they do on the TN river for the Sport boats and Cruiser :smt038 When we did the MM SeaRay plant tour via the River we were running in the same area they do the in water reviews on :thumbsup:

Chuck....I have one reviewer in mind. If you ever view the review of the 220SD listen carefully to what that guy has to say. :smt009

STIHLBOLTS - Is it that he gives same review for all the models???? Plus that the dash is not correct to begin with then use and older model dash later in the review?

You are right Chuck. Well where do I start. First of all, SC has been available since 2003 as a single display. Then 2004 they incorporated it into the gauges. I believe SR redesinged the cluster again in 2005. The ext. shots appear to be stock SR video. The review for the 350 Mag is identical to the 6.2 review. I believe they even mention the 6.2 in the 350 Mag review. Also they reported a burning 24.2 GPH at 3,500 RPM for a cruising rannge of about 140 miles. That is simply amazing. This boat must have had twin 6.2s or 350 mags in it. Also SR must have installed a 140 Gallon tank in place of the 50 gallon tank. I was disappointed in the top speed though with at least 600 HP on tap you would think she'd do better than 51 mph :grin: .
