Had a fun morning. I used to own a pristine SR 230 CC (1985), which was one of our favorites. A friend from work got a nice 1996 230 Cuddy, and all I can say is WOW! Awesome boat. Great size for the lake, handled the chop very well, and had a good deal of room. Had great acceleration, and engine access was outstanding.

My friend and his wife are new to Sea Rays and boating, so I enjoyed getting out to help them on their first trip out. Hope to see them here soon! :cool:
 
I am partial to the 230 as well :thumbsup: . Glad your friend is enjoying his new purchase.
 
SeaRide, I want your boat. I wish I would have bought it back when I got my 185. It's the perfect size and I really like the way the late 90s look. Are you the original owner? Moving up anytime soon? Or maybe downsize to a nice 185? :grin:
 
Thank you for the compliment Mike. I have always liked your vintage 185 as well since our boats share the same lines.

Yes, I am the original owner. I took delivery of the boat Feb. 1999. My wife has had plans for me to upgrade to a 260 or 280DA for the last several years. However, since I am the one paying, I can assure you that there are no plans to upgrade in the near future.
 
If you can get Searide's boat you will have a perfect ten. Charley's boat looks better than when it came off the show room floor. It is very embrassing to dock in front of him.

Charley: When the wife is happy...

Wife wants upgrade, husband won't pay. :smt017 Geeze, some folks just have it tough. :smt043

What you can't get her to get a second job to pay for it. :lol: :smt043 :lol:

PS I could not get Judy to get one for that big new 48SB we saw while in Charleston on our trip. :lol: :smt043 :lol:

Richard if I had to do more boating on the rough bay we were on, would have to get a biger boat. :thumbsup:
 
Hey Chuck, you need to come boat in the coastal area more, you would then understand that was not rough that was normal. :grin:
 
Paul,

Thanks for the compliments and yes she would be happier with a bigger boat, boat then it would take me twice as long cleaning.

Rich,

What a tough life she lives. Some symapthy though. Keeping up with two rug rats all day long can be wearing.

Chuck,

I am having major problems convincing her to get a job let alone a second job :grin: .
