Hi,
I think we might have met each other down in Cambridge,MD at the Hyatt a few seasons ago. Your situation sounds familar to the fellow I met and talked with briefly. If so great to seet you online.
Well we are going on our third season on our 97. Still enjoying her down on the bay. Some things to think about. Personally I prefer the 98-99 style helm. None have the captain chair the 340's have which I prefer. All the 330's will have lower headroom at the helm. I can stand comfortable in the center of the boat at the helm, but it is tight to uncomfortable to stand at the helm. The cabin on the 98-99 around the forward berth has trim that comes down flush with the bed mattress which is odd and limits the berth by a and inch or two. 97 and earlier doesn't have that.
We have the dinette on our boat not the sofa arrangement. The dinette I feel converts to a much more comfortable third berth when needed. It also seats four for breakfast which is nice when we overnight on her. The head while it may feel a little small is comfortable. I was worried it was too small but it is well laid out and very usable. We all shower on the boat and no one complains.
The boat runs well and I think that a 20K cruise on the bay is pretty ideal in most conditions. Ours feels more comfortable at a 24K cruise but depending on the chop on the bay sometimes it pounds at that speed.
Overall she is great and I think the lines of of the 90's sea rays have held up well over time. Of course your in a thread of biased owners!!
Take Care and enjoy shopping.
