Our dealer had one in his showroom and even though I am not in the market for a sport boat I like to keep abreast of the new designs so I gave it the once over. http://www.searay.com/sport_boats.asp?modelid=81078&modelyear=2007
I don't know if anyone else has seen one yet but I would like to hear what others think of the boat. There seems to have been a lot of thought put into it and the quality is first rate too from what I can tell. I especially like the rear sunpad/seat configuration and all the different positions for the seat. I also liked the cushion that lifts up so you can board easily from the rear. The cushions in the bow are now on hinges and fold back so you can store and retrieve things without having to remove the cushion. The only thing I don't like is the "inlay" for the swim platform. Rather than having the textured gel coat, they have installed recessed matting that looks like a rubber material with literally hundreds of miniature Sea Ray logos containing nooks and crannies in it that will trap both dirt and water. I think Sea Ray will regret that part of the design.
I still prefer the "classic" lines of the 200 Select a bit better but this boat should be a winner from what I can tell.
