New (new-to-me) Sea Ray owner form the PNW

Good morning from Graham, WA. Like many others my family and I decided we didn't want to put off boat ownership any longer. Had family with boats, but last summer we visited a friend on Lake Roosevelt and decided we couldn't wait any longer. Started cruising craigslist, fb marketplace and others. Looked for two months while never being first in line (covid boat market, yikes) before finding an excellent-condition original owner boat--who priced to NADA to sell, not make money. I found it 10 minutes after he posted it at night and by the next morning there were 2-3 others already behind me. Moved a little quick to put money down, but got it all checked out. Very thankful he didn't get into a bidding war or anything and happily honored the first-come first-serve.

1994 Sea Ray 220BR Signature Select, Fresh-water cooled 5.7L Merc Alpha



She's a beast, but is in beautiful condition. Previous owner kept it garaged if not on the water since he bought it new. Interior is fantastic, hull shows some minor curb rash (sorry, car term...) Dock rash?? No soft spots, everything works. Only had her out twice, but loved every minute of it.

What sold me originally was reviews of it (from the mid-90s haha) that talked about it being a fantastic family boat. I'm very inclined to agree.

Lots of good lakes nearby to explore in Washington and adjacent states!

Man that thing looks spotless! Very nice. Welcome!

Very nice! Congratulations and welcome to CSR!

Welcome to CSR from the dry side of the state. Lake Roosevelt is one of my favorite lakes.

Congrat's and welcome from Federal Way, WA.

Welcome aboard from Spokane, WA. We snagged our 330DA from Moses Lake (kept on Lake Roosevelt) this year as well from a far man asking a far price. There are good boats and good people out there you just have to be patient. Enjoy

Welcome from the wet side of Oregon. Good looking new toy.

Welcome from Olympia.

Welcome from Pasco. Tow that beauty down to Longview and launch it then cruise it up the Columbia to our neck of the woods. Wyrman and I will buy the first couple of rounds at the brewery at the top of our dock.

Longview to Pasco, that's quite a cruise! Something like that would be a fun trip. But a little out of my ability (time, etc) for now, haha. If I ever come up there maybe I'll take you up on it!

Thanks! This was just after its first 'bath' in the driveway, nothing too crazy, but needed to get it cleaned up to make it more our own.

I don't know about Longview but I want to park at the marine patrol station out by PDX and run up for a few weeks. I don't think I would trust my pick up would be there when we got back.
