Hello everyone out there in Sea Ray land! I am new to Sea Ray boats and to I/O drives. I have been around them quite a bit but have always owned jet boats. My wife and I usually boat at Elephant Butte lake here in New Mexico, although we also go to Caballo and have visited Powell and Mead.
I just picked up a 1989 sorrento 21ft, 5.7 260hp, alpha 1 gen 1 “sea Ray White drive”, open bow. The boat is in great shape, and I think we will really enjoy it.
Sorry for the bad light, it was almost sunset when I took the pics.
I have always been a jet guy, here are a few pics of my 1974 glencoe 18ft jet, 530 hp (corrected) big block Chevy full roller motor, blueprinted wj jet drive, blah blah blah.
They are very different boats with different uses, I am hoping I can keep from “tinkering” with the sea ray. As I understand it alpha drives don’t handle high torque numbers very well.
