Greetings all. We are proud new owners of a very well maintained 1989 Sea Ray Express Cruiser. She is slipped in St Joseph, Mi. We acquired her following the neverending winter of 2018. Her Mercruiser 454s have 800hrs and rumble just like big block Chevys should. We absolutely love her!
Hopefully I posted the pics correctly :)

Welcome to the club and greetings from West MI! We also have a EC, 390 though, and love the boat and layout. I'm sure you will love this boat as they are a great hull design and layout.
 
Welcome aboard! Glad to have more representation from Lake Michigan! We’re about 290 miles north of you in Charlevoix. Look us up if you come up this way!
 
And also, welcome aboard. We are on the other side of the pond, but as has been previously been said, the more on the Great Lake(s), the better.

We like the layout, particularly the size of the galley, and the cockpit. She is perfect for a cruising couple. As the largest boat, and only twin screw, I've ever operated the 340 was the perfect size at this time.

We certainly will. That would be a nice run from St. Joe.

The size of lake Michigan allows for some amazing privacy. 20 miles out and you can be all alone.
 
Congrats on the new to you boat. I know many people with the same boat and they love them!
We are on the other side of the mitten, always good to see another Sea Ray owner from the Great State of Michigan!

Thank you. It turns out surviving these winters have a payoff

Many thanks. I trust your DA made it through Irma.

Without a scratch...I'm in a CAT 3 Hurricane hole. A few boats had some wind damage to their enclosures but that was about it thankfully.
 
My wife weathered the storm with her sister in Melbourne. Said she never wants to do it again.
 
Congrats and welcome! she looks great
