Hello y'all. I got kind of a silly question just for the sake of curiosity.
Do any of you know of some one having crossed the Atlantic (or pacific for that matter) in a Sea Ray?
If you do know of some one having done it, how big was their boat, and what style was it?
I've been debating with a friend as to whether it could be done. We agree it is possible, but my friend thinks it would only happen in the most ideal conditions. My opinion is that a 40 foot Sea Ray could handle an atlantic storm as long as the waves were not more than 8 feet.
I also think if a 40 foot sea ray was caught in an ocean storm with dead engines, they could through out a sea anchor if they have one and tie it to the front of the boat. That way the boat is always facing the oncoming waves. What do you think about this idea?
To give you an idea of myself, I'm more of a sailboater, I do enjoy the speed of a sea ray from time to time.
Thanks for your input,
Mike
