Many of you know, but for those who do not, the first 650FLY embarked on an 11 week tour of various Sea Ray dealers and Gala events planned to showcase this tremendous new model for customers and prospective buyers. The tour began on the West coast of Florida then progressed up to the East coast and eventually to Boston then back to New York. Now the boat is on her way back to PD&E where she will be reviewed by the engineers to evaluate their work and made ready for sale to a retail customer.
The last stop in the tour for prospective customers was in Huntington LI NY for a dealer hosted party at the Prime restaurant dock. The next morning "Sea Ray 650" departed for Florida. The first stop on the return trip is at Atlantic City for the 2-day Dominic Annunziata Memorial Rendezvous at the Golden Nugget/Farley State Marina. Hopefully, this thread will allow others to follow along on the trip south and see the same sights we are seeing along the way. We will update with fresh photos when we have wifi available. We also plan to let you know our itinerary on a daily basis so if we are near you, by all means, honk, wave, give “Sea Ray 650” a shout on VHF 16 or meet us at the dock when we come in.
Note: this is Monday and thus far, we have not had good luck in the wifi department. Our commitment is to get the 650 and ourselves back to Sea Ray safely and without beating up the boat in rough seas/weather. Thus far we have also not had good luck with the weather/seas thing either and are "touring" the wilderness of the intercoastal waterway thru Va and NC.
Here is the first group of photos:
The 650FLY's berth in Huntington Harbor
Departing Huntington
These guy's have some nice digs up here:
A part of each stop to show the 650 was the opportunity for interested prospects to sea trial the boat. This is a photo of the tracks recorded on the trial runs by customers in the Huntington area. As you can see, there was very little down time for Capt. Rusty.
650 idling around
Our last passenger arrives:
See…..no teenagers were injured in taking the above photo. Actually, this was a very safe maneuver involving 2 very experienced boat drivers, in calm seas, no wind, an alert and agile volunteer (actually, my part time grand-daughter) who trusted the adults around her.
Here we go:
