Hello all, new guy here from Michigan. Not new to boating... grew up on a lake with pontoons, jet skis, and for a few years owned a Four Winns bow rider with an I/O, so I’m familiar with those drives. Also spent time on my stepdad’s ‘78 Sea Ray 240(not sure on exact model but it had the aft cabin). I loved every minute of being out on Lake Erie on that old girl! Naturally, it planted a seed that now as an adult grew into a desire to get back out on the big water here in this great state.
I’ve been browsing CL looking at various mid to late eighties Sea Rays, and I’m really liking both the Sundancers as well as the Weekenders. Looking for something I can trailer easily enough, so it has to be less than 30’. Thinking in the 25-27 range. Other than introducing myself, I guess I only have one question for now- at what length does the weekender go to a inboard with straight shaft? Really like the idea on no outdrive to service. I understand the pros and cons between models as far as layout, and as of right now it’s just me and my dog who will be venturing out. Thanks for reading, and hope to learn more here!
