    Poor parts support from Sea Ray

    As a yard owner we have many years of frustrating experience trying to get parts from boat builders. Most boats are built in such small quantities that the builders don't keep much of an inventory of small parts. I understand the economics of this. However...... It is the summer of 2010 and in...

    Brunswick "creative accounting"

    I am not a CPA or an accountant but it looks to me like Brunswick is "selling receivables" to itself so they are not on the balance sheet. What do you guys think? http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/prnewswire/200906041600PR_NEWS_USPR_____CG27979.htm

    Trailer launching a 500 off the shoreline

    Our lake is so low this is what we have to resort to. This is our shop launching my 98 500 Da last week here is a link to a small photo gallery That's me in the brown jacket. We do this almost every day. Pulling them out this way is even more fun. I built a whole fleet of these trailers...

    TNT platform problems

    My new (1998) 500 Sundancer has a TNT platform that has problems. First it would not do anything at all. Now we got the pump working but the platform won't raise completely on one side and it intermittently hangs up on either side. It does something different every time you try it. I have...

    Five boats in one year... nuts. ;-)

    What a crazy year for me and my boats. In one year I have owned Five different cruisers. Started the year with my 580SSS, then sold it to the guy who bought my 500DA. Took the 500 in trade and then traded it for a 422 Chris Craft sportfish that we had coming out of a four year long refit, then...

    2009 45 Chris Craft

    Sorry for the non-Sea Ray content. At least I put this thread in the holding tank. I just wanted you guys to see this. Here are all the new trends. Big windsheild, hardtop/sedan, large plexi windows below the rubrail etc. etc..... However, they sure did a nice job with the proportions, the...

    two Kohler sound shields 5.0/6.5 gas

    I have two Kohler sound shields for sale. Both are for late 90's/ early 2000's Kohler 6.5/5.0 gas gen sets. These are 3600 rpm generators and they really benefit from a sound shield. They are basically all there but a screw or buckle may be missing. One fits the Honda powered unit, the other...

    Updating larger cruisers

    As some of you know, I am not thrilled about the new boats or their prices. For the last three years I have been buying slightly older large Sea Rays and updating them. The older boats (in my opinion) look much sleeker and prettier on the outside than the new generation. Where they are lacking...
