Hello,

My wife, kids, and I recently purchased a 1987 SeaRay 230 Weekender. We upgraded from a 1986 Legend 16' Bowrider.

The Sea Ray is a one owner boat with less than 300 hours on it. It appears as if it were never used. Everything works as if it were new - except the fresh water system. The pump runs, but water only trickles out of the faucet. I'll be investigating/repairing that soon. The seats/cushions/carpet/canvas appear new. The 454 Magnum runs like a champ. It has a brand new outdrive. The bilge is absolutely spotless.

I do have a question. It is registered as a 230, but says 250 on the side. Why? :huh:

I am sure I will have lots of questions. Thank you in advance for your patience. :grin:

Eric

Congrats on the boat. Check the Hull ID Number, as it may provide a clue on the model type. I'll bet on that year you have a second line after the hull ID that starts with 230WE or 250DA or similar. Let us know.

It sure does. 230WE0113 is the second line.

Enjoy your new 230 Weekender! Somebody with a complex must have stuck the 250 on the side.

:lol: That's what I figured. I did run out with a tape measure. If you include the swim platform, it measures just about 25'.

We're headed out right now for a few hours. :thumbsup:
