i bought a 1981 searay 17 ft. i/o with a 120 motor, its a closed bow but you cant get under it other than to store a few things.the boat is in above average shape shape, my question is what kind of a ride can i expect from it its not for tubing or skiing just for running around the bay dont care about speed at all.doesent seem to have a real deep v hull thats why i was asking. never had a boat that started this easy starts quicker than my car does. thanks for any help in advance i appreciate it.

Re: question about searay

the rays are really good boats.

very stable. i think youll be suprised how stable it is when a big boat passes you......you will see other pleasure craft .."bobbing around like corks" and youll be stable.

one thing i might suggest, take a safe boating course. we all do, and then go for refreshers from time to time. it makes a big difference.....

cheers
