I have been around boats for about 40 years. I have only owned a few, but have seen and piloted many, from a 12ft fisher, to a 250ft Long Range fishing boat. I have piloted boats the entire time I worked for the Monterey Bay Aquarium which was 12 years. I have even been on a few Yhat's that cost in the millions.
What I have noticed, as far as the Sea Ray boats I have been on, which were of course my little SRV 190, to a 24 and 36 footer. Neither model do I remember, but all three including mine are the most well built well appointed boats I have come across. Even on my little 190, it has many little touches that are heads and shoulders above the other sub 24ft sport boats.
For instance, even though I have probably been on over 100 different sport boats, none I have seen have all the teak, or the instrumentation, to seemingly the build quality of mine! Am I alone in this or do other's notice this, or, am I not seeing a lot of boats that are as well built and appointed as the Sea Ray's?
For instance, when another sport boat owner at the lake comes over to see the SRV 190, which is a 1976, they always say the same thing, Man, this is a super nice boat! When they look at the teak, and instrumentation, and the interior, design of the interior, and glass and such, they always comment on how it is built and appointed like a Mercedes or BMW or other fine car, even had a guy call it a Bently Boat!
I may be jaded or overly proud of my little Sea Ray, and I'm sure there are other boats as well built or nicely appointed, but I have yet to see one.
I guess you can tell I love Sea Ray's!
