Sea Ray questions.

I'm actually very familiar with boats. I own a Catalina 25 and grew up racing a flat bottom jet.
This will just be a fun day cruzer.

I just never had an I.O. drive.

I'll let ya know, if it looks as good in person I'll probably end with with a mother hole in the water to throw money into....

My buddy bought a formula with an i.o. Motor last year. Ran great during the test drive then took a dump on us on the Ohio river and we were down stream of the ramp. We ended up replacing the fuel pump and it ran great then it started to overheat. Chased it down to being the sea water pump and it was destroyed. We got that replaced and it’s run good ever since but that was my one nightmare stories after being around boats for 27 years.
