    Got news of some bargains on customized Sea Rays. Two 480 Sedan Bridges and one 560 Sedan Bridge. Whatta ya think... a little super-glue and they're good to go?

    To float this boat again, they had to cut a few corners in their lamination schedule. ;)

    Had to laugh. Sudden image of a roof rack and an LTD hood ornament on the bow.

    Are these actually even repairable?

    Nothing a little duct-tape couldn't fix.

    Yeah, a little heavy compound & they'll buff right out.
    I'm sure you will see these listed on certified sales and yacht salvage any day now. Those guys have made a killing in the past two years.

    Speaking of yacht salvage, I spotted an addition to their inventory along New River this weekend. Looks like Wilma took a bite out of this Sea Ray too...

    woody?

    The 560 searay with the wood on the sides was a boat with the Europeon bridge. Extremely undesirable and worth 20-30% let then the standard.

    Looks like this guy lucked out!

    I saw a couple of Searays in Hollywood that sustained some serious damage too. I thought these boats were built pretty solid. Is Sea Ray skimping on layup? Scary.
