Re: 1990 searay 220 DA 5.7L

I paid too much, but I wanted the boat.<br />Very Clean<br />Everything Works (Ihope)<br />A/C<br />Roller Trailer<br />All Canvas<br />$13,500<br /><br />I figure the boat is worth about $12,000. I had been looking for this exact boat for a while. This was the cleanest I found. Local Owner, 475 Hrs.<br /><br />There is some pitting on the outdrive.<br />I work for a company that manufactures them, so will probably replace the housing next season.

I own a 1989 220 DA w/5.7 alpha 1 with stock prop (19 I believe) have had it for 4 years and really enjoy it. Other than routine maintenance I have not had to do anything major to it. I use it to fish for walleye and cruise around Lake Erie. Looking to move up in a coouple of years.

I might be in the market for a 22 DA soon. You guys are too far away but what sort of performance do you get with the 5.7? (Cruise & WOT)<br />Thanks

Re: 1990 searay 220 DA 5.7L

Trimmed up nicely I get a cruising speed of 24mph@ 2800 rpm and wot is 38 mph at 4200 rpm. Both mph readings are off the gps. Near as I can figure I burn about 8 gph at 2800rpm. There is another 220 in the marina which has the stock 4.3. He is not happy with the performance.

Ricky,<br /><br />Looks like we have identical boats. IS there some kind of instructions for the full canvas, or do I just figure it out. Havent tried the camper canvas yet. Waiting for Spring.<br /><br />Mark

Re: 1990 searay 220 DA 5.7L

Mark....The canvas is pretty easy to figure out. Just take your time. You must be a pretty bright guy if you bought a used Ray!!! April 15 is the day the rack and launch facility at Toledo beach Marina opens. I'm getting the itch real bad.

Re: 1990 searay 220 DA 5.7L

wow more 220 guys here, well i was getting 26 miles pe at about 2600 rmp 33 at about 4100 rpm but i was has to go all the way down to a 15 pitch prop to get those reading, my carm was not working great, plus i think i spun my coupler, so this spring i will post my result using a 17 pitch ss prop. but guy these boats are very very fine .<br /><br />good luck to all.

Re: 1990 searay 220 DA 5.7L

I'm really psyched to get in the water. I had a 21' cuddy back in the 80's. Got rid of it and didnt get another boat till about 3 yrs ago. A 14' Grumman w/25. That got the itch goin'. I've been looking for pretty much exactly what I got for a long time. Not too big, but big boat features. It's in good shape too, as far as I can tell. The only scary thing is it's been out of the water for 18 mo. Winterized. I'm going to start it the middle of March. If we get a freeze after that, it wont be too hard to throw some more anti-freeze in. I'll probably take it to the slip at the end of March. I boat in the Chesapeake Bay and my slip is in Rock Hall, MD. We also have a travel trailer about 5 miles from the slip.<br /><br />I kept the little boat for crabbing. Crabbibg is pretty good down there.<br /><br />So do we all have 1989 220DAs? How many are here?<br /><br />Mark

My father bought a 91 220 DA 5.7 a few years ago, he is extremly happy with the boat. Its the perfect size in the bay. Like many have said its still a smaller boat with all the big boat features. Glad to see there is a following here on iBoats we will have to keep each other posted on our adventures that we have on our boats!

Re: 1990 searay 220 DA 5.7L

I havent had mine in the water yet. Going to start it tomorrow if the weather cooperates. Then into the shop for a good going over and hopefully in the slip in 2 weeks.

I have a 94 23 da, bought it 2 years ago and love it!!!!!! Word of advice first couple of times out, if your not used to driving with power steering or a boat that sits so high out of the water take your time to get used to it. First couple of times out for me was a little scary, I was used to a 18 ft cuddy with very little of the boat out of the water, and manual steering. Handling was totaly different. Hope you enjoy your new boat!!!!!<br /><br /> Jim
