I was under the impression that piece should be fiberglass, no wood filler. definitely pop it open and see what is going on. it's just a few screws.
the vertical panel under your bench removes to her, mine only had 6 screws. the caulk is to help with rattles, my mechanics never recalled it after he pulled it the first time.
Hello all.
Brand new to the forum and to Sea Ray. This is my first boat. I have rented a bunch but was finally ready to own.
I've got 4 teenage kids, my two boys are 6'4 and 6'6, and so we needed a big boat, but don't have a big budget. So I bought a 240 that needs to work. I did get it at what I think is a good price, but we shall see.
As you can see, it needs a lot of work. I am praying you guys are willing to offer me advice, and sources of supply that you have discovered while owning your boat.
The hull was actually damaged and they did bondo (doh) and then covered that with rhino liner (double doh)
I have a fiberglass guy who is reasonable and is going to help with the body work.
Biggest issue of the moment is that I started winterizing and when I drained the water, I found what I think is fuel in the water. I did hear it run before buying, but this concerns me. Any thoughts?
When you say "newer", what years are you talking about? After 2009 it became a smaller boat, even though it carried the same name.We have a 2005 240SD with the 350MAG (300 hp). We are looking at a newer 240. However, most that we are looking at have the Mercruiser 5.0 (260 hp). For those with the 5.0 in your 240SD - is this enough power?

Interesting thought, I replaced it with a Quicksilver Thermostat.Probably an automotive t-stat at a third of the price but contains ferrous metal. OEM won't rust.
If your carpet still looks good, you can apply a rubberized coating to the back side.I am looking for the snap-in carpeting (the backing is almost off on mine) for a 2005 240SD...
We switched from carpet to Infinity. I sent fellow member @Quint4 my carpets and he used them as the template. The Infinity flooring is so much better than the OEM carpet. And you won't have to worry about stains. You will have to install the snaps though. I spent the money for a "professional" snap tool and it was worth every penny. Took me about 1.5 hours to install.Yeah, we were thinking about spraying the backside but since there are a few stains and such - we are just going to replace it instead...

@Quint4 is a well known member here and does exactly what your looking and is also in North Carolina.I have been shopping carpet replacements. I am ready to move away from the berber. Mine is trashed.
This store seems to be the most on top of templates and install concerns. Their pricing is in line with others.
