1987 Sea Ray 300 Sedan Bridge

[Pack66Dad]

I just bought this boat and it surveyed great. Can anyone give me some items to watch for or tips on care and maintenance?

list the specs on the boat. do you have the copy of the survey?

 

[Pack66Dad]

Here are some pictures.

The boat is a 1987 300DB it has the original twin Mercruiser 260's with 590 hours, a Generator, Heating & Air Conditioning, vacuflush toilet, built in vacuum cleaner and original depth sounders and clean enough for my wife to say it is very nice. I just bought it yesterday so the survey is not typed up yet but hull is dry and sound, all systems work well and the engines have great compression. It has a leaky water pump on the genset, and could use a new raw water hose for the fresh water cooling, exhaust hose and spark plug wires on the port engine (surface cracking). I'm having those items replaced today, on both engines and having the water pump replaced.

The only thing I really want to get updated ASAP is the GPS/Sonar, any tips?

I like the canvas over the back. The Admiral and I were thinking of doing the same thing. Can you "fold" it up when the PNW gets its 2 days of summer?

No, it's pretty rigid
