I bought my Searay this summer in July. Before that we had a 28' Chaparral Signature.
We sold it to gain more cockpit space and the ability to cruise the lake a 30-35mph all day without spending $400 in gas. For those two features I LOVE the Searay. And I bought it at an absolute steal knowing I would need to spend some money on it this winter to bring it up to my standards. As I've been getting estimates it looks like I'll be dropping about $6500 to get it there...but it'll be one NICE 220cc when it's done. Just thinking through whether I want to drop $6500 on this one or just sell it and put that money toward another boat...not even sure what I'd get...
Here's a crappy recent pic of the Searay. I'm surprised at the number of people who compliment this boats lines. I've always liked them, but thought others might think they're dated.
