Guys, I have a 86' 10 meter express with the same system. It works but the only issues I'm having is that the pump won't shut off by itself. I have to turn it on and off via the switch on the master panel. Now I haven't spent much time looking into it but I believe its the vacuum switch assembly lo...

Mechanically I thought it was really well done.A lot of thought and attention to detail went into the mechanicals ,gel coat and canvas excellent,but the interior salon really lacks an...

I have been on both of those boats, along with the Trojan that you first looked at. That Sea-Ray has been up for sale for a very long time at numerous locations.

In total, Dave and I had about 300 hours into doing everything that we did. That includes all of the work at the boat and also at Daves shop taking things apart, prepping and painting. Also the time that went into making the few special tools that we needed and also the welding that went into making...
