    Alpha 1 Gen 2 - Bad Day At The Lake

    Friends, Took our boat for the first time this year, and it turned out to be a bad day. Started it at home on the muffs with no issues.

    It's Done...Thinking No Longer!

    Hi Gang! Finally did it today! We bought the 1992 Sea Ray 200BR today, after a trial run this afternoon. Has a 5.0 LX with an Alpha One drive. It performed superbly! So after looking at a few Four Winns, a Chris Craft, and 2 other Sea Rays, this is the one we decided on. Thanks to everyone...

    Thinking About Buying a Used Sea Ray

    Hi Gang, We want to get into boating, and have been looking for a short time. I have found a 1998 Sea Ray 18'. The owner is asking about $5K for it, trailer and "goodies" included. I looked at the boat yesterday, and it looks good, but will need a little TLC. My main questions are: 1. The owner...
