Hi all,
I'm new to this site and am looking for help finding reviews, or receiving comments on the 2001 Sea Ray 560 (sedan bridge). I'm currently looking at a couple of options for 560's powered by CAT 3406e's and would like to hear from current owners. After having searched extensively through google, I have a tough time finding any reviews.
How is the seakeeping ability of the boat? The only review I could find seemed to imply that the boat doesn't handle moderate to heavy seas very well. I'm not planning a reshoot of the perfect storm or anything, however I'd want to make sure that I'm OK if caught off guard on the Great Lakes. The comment just doesn't seem to make sense to me.
How is the power with the 800 HP CAT's? I see later models have 1000HP MANs. Does this imply that 800HP wasn't enough?
Have people generally been satisfied with their ownership?
Any quirks I should look for when inspecting the vessels?
Sorry for the long list, however I'd appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Paul
