lol hey if it wasn't a fishing version which very few were ever built i'd junk it but when sea ray built the Laguna and the Cuddy Fisherman they were looking out for us fisherman. this boat doesn't have the frills and plush interior it is a rough fishing machine full of live wells and even a built in ice machine. it has 5 live wells and a full transom well to hold your catch. it will take awhile but she will be solid and bloody with fish guts. for the newbies here's the last project i finished

The interiors are cheaply constructed. I have personally seen the bottom layers of fiberglass from a brand new 50 footer that was damaged when it fell of a travel lift at another marina here in town, and I can tell you it is only about 50% thicker than the bottom of a V! Now for a 50 footer to have a bottom barely thicker than a 20 footer says something poor about that construction. By the way the 50' was dropped into the water from about 6' when a strap on the travel lift snapped. It totalled the boat. I don't know, maybe they built them stronger back when. The new ones are crap, and usually the only way you can get rid of them is to trade them in for another one at the dealer. My biggest problem is that they are just soooooooo generic. No style.

How 'bout some pics of that Sea Ray yer workin' on...:thre:

We have a '77 24ft Sea Ray. It is a tank. I don't know what it weighs but I know it's all origional, still solid as a rock, and still running strong.

Up through the 80's SEARAY still made a good chopper gun boat. Back in the early 80's to seventies they built tanks that were meant to go through the waves by shear weight and size rather than deep vee. In the 90's is when the pencil pushers steeped in and decided to cut back on quality to make money. SEARAY was never known for there interiors, but they did build some good hulls for awhile.

my Sea Ray has bad stringers too most of the 86 to 94 Sea Rays seem to have bad floors and stringers but always have solid transoms you never hear of a bad transoms in Sea Rays.
