Good morning everyone.
New member to this forum. I am looking forward to reading a lot of good information.
I will soon be buying a 1986 Sea Ray 300DB with a flybridge. This will be my first boat of this kind. It has Twin gas engines and is strictly inboards. We are buying it in Florida. The current owner has done little with the boat since he bought it in 2000. It runs great and everything seems to be working. It has a gen-set with heating and air conditioning. It does need some work and most of it is cosmetic. My wife and I will make it a weekend project for the next year or so until we retire. We will be "Alaska fitting" it. I am looking at a possible hard top for the back and installing things like a shrimp pot puller.
I currently own a 20ft Wooldridge Jet boat and we go out on Prince William Sound (PWS) in Alaska a lot. Problem with a jet boat is when there is a little chop on the water it tears you up pretty good. We also want to spend a week or so (in the summer) in the Sound before coming back in for supplies. PWS is a great place to be and we love to fish, hunt, and see all the things that PWS has to offer. Once I figure out how to post pictures I will share a few of PWS.
First question: I am trying to look up articles on this 1986 Sea Ray to get a feel for what type of vessel she will be. Any suggestions?
