The bad news is I lost my trusted old friend, a 1989 220CC. Great boat, open layout, and in great shape-until she ended up on the rocks thanks to the remnants of Hurricane Ike.
BUT the good news is now I'm looking for a new (to me) boat and I like the looks/layout/size of the 245 Weekender.
So far my research has been limited to boats.com and boattrader.com. Basically I've been comparing what limited info is included with the boat listing, and the pics with each boat listing - trying to note different ammenities, cloth vs leather in the cuddy, etc.
My price range is putting me in the market for vintage 2001 or so. Here's the listing closest to me (about 3 hrs away), that happens to be the lowest price of my search:
http://www.boattrader.com/find/listing/2001-Sea Ray-245 WE - 7105-93718710
Here are my ?'s
-Were there alot of different 'trim packages' for these?
------I ask b/c I see quite a variation in pricing for this year/model, most are
------around $30k, but they range from $25k to $38k. The asking prices don't
------seem to jibe with hrs or the engine size (5.0 vs 5.7)
-Do they have any design flaws that I should look out for?
I guess that's it for now, I'd love to hear from any of you Weekenders out there...
