I thought I had done a ton of research before I bought the boat. I wish
I had done more investigating here.

I wish that SeaRay had not used the foam headliner as a gasket between
the deck and hull. I wish they had used more than silicone to seal the
hull deck joint. I wish that all the screws that connected the hull
deck joint actually went into something. I wish that the cabin windows
did not act like a seawater catcher so that I could use them. I wish
that the drawers that fit into a 30'' space were longer than 10". I
wish that the AC unit that is under the v-berth was anywhere else. I
wish that SeaRay laid up a better hull and that I didn't have to spend
5 grand on a new water barrier. I wish I had bought a Tiara.

If theres any good to this, I could be a boat surveyor now.

I see very little difference now between the construction
quality between SeaRays, Maxums and Bayliners, although more gold trim
and gold jewelry holders are found on SeaRays. ;-)

If you're going to hire a yacht surveyor, be sure to hire the nastiest son-
of-a-bitch you can find....(c;

Sea Ray does keep sending me the snazzy magazine with $5.95 on the cover,
even though I asked them not to. The Gold Jewelry Holders are in all the
pictures....

Anybody on their 2nd or 3rd boat is pretty much a surveyor by trade, by
now. Sea Ray is just another cheap bubbleboat. Having arrogant SOBs for
dealers doesn't change it, either....(c;
