2002 Sea Ray 225

[Vmax2007]

Well, got her home today. Had to tow it from the west side of Mpls through the heart of both cities (Mpls/St Paul) during rush hour traffic. It tows beautifully, hardly seems much different than towing my Larson, and it weighs about twice as much (6000 lbs vs 3000lbs). I think the surge brake actuator is weak though otherwise no complaints. I tested her out on Lake Minnetonka and it rides SWEET! Very responsive with that 5 blade SSTL prop on there.

It was in the upper 80's today and towing it in rush hour traffic my tranny maxed out at 190 degrees. Not bad! at 65mph it dropped down to 182 degrees.

That enough angles for ya Dan?

Nope. debadging is for trucks only. In fact, I need to come up with a name and get some graphics made up. Can you hook me up daddy?

Awesome snag Jeff!

holy smokes! what powerplant?

just a little 5.0 MPI, 260 HP. It's not a "fast" boat, but it's responsive and gets up on plane very quickly. It tops out in the mid 40's.

Looks like some air bags are in order though.

 

[Moeman]

Nice boat Jeff..A lot of good times to come.

Awesome, Jeff!

You should consider my tranny cooler mod for next year.
