Re: Im new
Welcome aboard searay dude!!
SeaRay's are fine boats. High quality and good resale. Whenever someone asks about a particular boat, I start with saying that basically all boats are a combination of the same basic parts. The engine and drive system that you have noted is probably the most popular I/O out there. I am guessing a carbed 5.7, but it is possible it is EFI. If carbed, that can be the source of some issues, so just take note. I am also guessing, but pretty sure it is an Apha 1 Drive. As I said, most popular, but not necessarily the best. Alpha's are decent drives, but you need to become quickly accustomed to the proper way to shift them in and out of gear. Hopefully you have an O&M manual for the engine and drive. You should read it cover to cover. And as Silvertip says, maintenance.
Back to the pile of parts. SeaRay uses good hardware and mounts it all properly, this IMHO is what separates good boats from bad. Anything on your boat can and will break. Good stuff less often. You need to pay special attention to all mounting hardware of everything fastened to anything everywhere :% Stuff simply comes loose and boats also break sitting on the trailer. If you are a tinkerer, tinker away, if you are not, you need to find a shop that you can trust.
I assumed this was your first boat, but actually after rereading your post, I'm not quite sure. Either way, lots of good info here 8)
