Sea Ray questions.

Back in that boats day, the V6 of choice for boat mfg's was usually the GM 4.3 My wife had a 17' Javelin ski boat when we got married, and it had the 4.3 V6 in it. It was plenty of giddy up - go for that boat, but I'm sure it weighed considerably less than the one you're looking at. We never had a minutes trouble out of it, other than the starter solenoid took a dump. Boat place wanted a hundred bucks for one, and I went to the NAPA store and got one for an S10 truck for like $14. Exact same part, and was on the boat when we sold it. That boat you're looking at looks to have been taken care of and sat inside when not in the water. About any boat is just a hole in the water to throw money into, but they can be a lot of fun. We have 2 smaller holes in the water to throw money in now.....a couple of old Kawasaki 900 Jet Skis. But.....I've never seen a hearse that looked like an armored car! If you get it, enjoy it! :D
