Sea Ray: More than just Excellent Boats - Its a Whole Way of Life, the Good Life

Sea Ray has a reputation as a superior quality pleasure boat manufacturer. This year's New Boats are no exception.

Sea Ray produces more than 40 models ranging from 18 to 68 feet including Sport Boats, Sport Cruisers, Sport Yachts, and Yachts.

Sea Ray:  Its a Way of LifeFrom this writer's point of view, a Sea Ray boat is more  than just an excellent boat... it represents a whole way of life. The one you and I would like to be having right now.

This season they are adding some winners to their line of superior quality fiberglass boats: a fabulous new open design 48 foot Sea Ray Sundancer, a new 27 foot  Sea Ray Amberjack that is both a Sports Cruiser and doubles as a Fishing Machine. You get the best of both worlds. And a sexy new 27 foot  270 SLX that is to just die for. Well, maybe your friends will be envious given that you have a Sea Ray boat and they don't.

All new models combine innovative styling, design and advanced engineering concepts with distinct and prestigious images. You know the image... the way of life to which we'd like to become accustomed.

Sea Ray:  Its a Way of Life

Focus is on quality as evidenced by a complete line of boats that not only meet but also exceed the standards set by the United States Coast Guard, the National Marine Manufacturers Association, the American Boat and Yacht Council and the International Organization of Standards (ISO). Sea Ray is the first pleasure boat manufacturer to be certified for meeting the high ISO 9002 standards - a feat accomplished by all seven plants.

OK, so much for the quality standards ... the bottom line: it's a good boat and you deserve to own one.
