I've been looking for a used boat and have seen a lot of junk. I was beginning to think I would have to lower my expectations when I came across an ad in the local paper for an 87 Sea Ray Seville. I thought it might be a little on the older side but decided to give it a call.<br /><br />I went to look at it and I couldn't believe my eyes. It was nearly perfect and had everything I wanted. I opened the engine compartment and it looked as if a new engine had been dropped in. It was original. It has the 3.0l engine, which was a conscious choice for me, since I have small kids and my wife really doesn't like going fast. The economy also appeals to me as well as ease of maintenance..<br /><br />Any how I offered what he was asking because he really was undervalued. I will have the sea trial on Friday and feel I got very lucky.. We'll see.<br /><br />On another note, I looked at a few bayliners and could definately tell the higher quality boat. The hulls on the bays seem so much thinner than this Sea Ray..
