    Thinking of upgrading to Sea Ray 210BR

    That's what I thought it was. Looks the same around the bilge too. Unfortunately the trim switch on the throttle was finicky. It would go down but the "up" toggle was intermittent. There is a button labeled "trailer" that would make the trim go up. Quick google search says this could be a result...

    Thinking of upgrading to Sea Ray 210BR

    Went to look at the boat again today. Appeared that under the carpet is a full gel coat floor excluding a board over the gas tank area. Scope camera couldn’t see any rotten wood, or rather no wood at all. I wonder if Sea Ray fully glassed over their stingers and foam back in 1998?

    Thinking of upgrading to Sea Ray 210BR

    Ski locker was all glassed and gel coated but the little bit of flooring I could see from in there looked perfect. I’m still gonna go back and peek around with a scope camera

    Thinking of upgrading to Sea Ray 210BR

    Both boats are the same vintage, stingray is 22 years old. The Sea Sea has significantly less hours too, with only 291 (elderly couple barely used it until selling in 2010). Plan is to keep the Stingray in the family and enjoy the extra room/power of the Sea Ray. If this floor and/or transom has...

    Thinking of upgrading to Sea Ray 210BR

    Your work looks beautiful. I’d rather have no boat than a project. My current stingray has nothing wrong with it, other than a lack of space. I’ve always wanted a gel coat floor with snap in carpets/sea deck, but I’m not willing to do that project myself.

    Thinking of upgrading to Sea Ray 210BR

    I’d have to take a closer look next time I go to see it. I’ve got a scope camera I can connect to my phone and get a good look under the floor near the gas tank. The carpet felt dry and the rest of the boat was bone dry. It’s been kept either indoors or under two covers. My current boat has a...

    Thinking of upgrading to Sea Ray 210BR

    I’ve seen Friscoboater’s rebuild and that’s what has me concerned. Big difference to me that when I poked around I felt nothing soft/spongey. I’m gonna look it over a lot closer when the weather warms up next week given it’s still for sale.

    Thinking of upgrading to Sea Ray 210BR

    I've been looking at a 1998 210BR Signature with 5.7L Mercruiser and Alpha I outdrive as an upgrade to my Stingray 180LX. Everything looked solid to me, other than two dips in the floor behind the forward/aft seats. I poked around the area a lot and the wood/floor doesn't feel soft at all, plus...

    Replacement Ladder

    I haven't been able to find anything listed as 14" or with 12" hole separation. Thinking I'll just have to make a plate to cover the holes and drill fresh.

    Replacement Ladder

    My Stingray 180LX has a 2 rung Windline ladder on the rear platform that I'd like to replace with a 3 or 4 rung. The original ladder had holes that are 12" center to center, and I can't seem to find any ladders that aren't either 10" or 14" center to center. Do you all know of any ladders that...

    3.0L Mercruiser does not always return to idle

    I have a 2001 Stingray with a Mercruiser 3.0 (non TKS) motor. I have had trouble with the carb in the past so I had my mechanic rebuild and tune it. The issues I had were hesitation in the throttle and trouble with starting. Now when I rev the engine or take it for a run, It only returns to a...

    Mercruiser 3.0 choke/ idle issues

    First off i'm new to this forum so hope I did this right. I have 2003 Stingray 180lx that is still in almost new condition. Two years ago I had stalling issues and fixed them with new fuel pump, fuel filter, and rebuilt carb. Since then it has run great but idled high. I had trouble getting...
