Yep, and they did not influence designs until 1989 or 1990 if I recall.
The quality also went into the dumper at that same time.


BTW: David Pascoe seems to agree. A local surveyor with a great reputation
(he surveyed 3 of my boats and is a buyers surveyor) also agrees that they
are over rated and over priced..

Some food for thought:

While Pascoe is not God, he does show some serious production flaws in
fairly high priced boats. But I guess the gold chain wearing crowd with
small private parts think they are being admired when they cruise the water
in their Sea Ray as image is everything to some. ;-)



Most of the big Sea Rays I see are dock queens.
