Skool's 250 Sea Ray Project???

Skools Out · #1 09-09-2008, 07:39 PM

Well guys i've been working on both the V20 and the 250 Sea Ray but i relized i'm going to have to remove the cap on the Sea Ray. i'm ready but it will have to wait. i'm going to work on the V20 now only then remove the cap and floor insert from the Sea Ray. I'm going to lay pipe front to rear in the ray and raise the floor. make it a fully deck drain boat all but the head and cabin. doesn't that sound like fun?

Why in the "h-e-double-hockey-sticks" would you ever do anything other than sink a searay????? Be careful, it's likely to just crumble to pieces when you start taking it apart.

I have got to stick up for Skool's on this one (he might even send some rules e-mails)

The way he redoes a boat is amazing,
even if it does crumble, he will put it back together
and you will never even know it fell apart.

Just check some of his past projects.

I don't think anybody here would question SKOOLS ability to put a boat together and make it PURDY(and better than new). I believe what BC was trying to pervey was that a SEARAY isn't normally considered worth saving. I have no room to talk as I repowered an identical boat a year and a half ago.

Sea Ray, Bayliner aren't they synonyms. (second 50 cent word today, I better slow down).

I just wanted some Skool's Rules e-mails.

I do not know much about sea rays, but I always thought they were a high quality boat. I guess that is not necessarily the case, huh.

There actual hull construction isn't that bad, one of the better built mass production boats. There interiors on the other hand leave much to be desired, but that is how they were able to sell a decent boat for BAYLINER money.

My brother in law had a sea ray seville. I think the seville was their lesser line, and has been discontinued. That was not a good boat. Floor went soft quite quickly, and interior fit and finish was not very good.

Curious as to other boat lines out there are mostly junk. I know Bayliner has to be right near the top. Rinkers are not very good either. Any others that should be avoided at all cost?
