How much did SeaRay pay you for this fluff review?

***********************************************

I pick up my new 55-footer tomorrow.

Seriously, JimH, I don't get paid a dime by Sea Ray or any other
manufacturer.

And if you'll notice, it's not a review. It's a description, along some
personal observations, opinions, and impressions. There's no claim that
we measured any sort of performance or got underway in the boat- as we
did neither.

This may come as a real shock to you, but discussing boats and
comparing impressions and opinions about boats (rather than bitchily
harpooning personalities at every turn) is supposed to be what a
boating newsgroup is all about. Too bad for you, of course, as you have
demonstrated little knowledge about boats or boating and the very best
of your extremely rare on-topic advice recently- to a guy trying to
figure out if $1500 was too much to pay for a nearly 30 year old boat,
motor, and trailer in running condition- was to "look it up in NADA."
I'm still grinning over that one.

I know how much it p's you off when somebody posts on topic. Sorry.

But here, please, redeem yourself:

If you disagree with my opinions, impressions, or description of the
Sea Ray 200 Select
please respond with your specific comments related to that boat. ("I
think you're an asshole" won't count). Thanks.
