Your perceptions of Sea Ray from the slick brochures and extensive
marketing are not quite correct......

Look INSIDE a Sea Ray hull he

Think Bayliner......Brunswick owns them both.
I own one......my last one.

The pictures don't lie.......ONE woven layer just so the surveyors
THINK it 's fiberglass....which, obviously from the pictures, it's
not!

Don't know about the Regal......I think most new boats are built this
way now to be made so cheap with so much profit. Those dealers riding
around with the Rolex in a Lexus are part of the problem.

I understand the Sea Ray is a better qualitty boat. I am trying to
find a starter cuddy for under 20k. i found a 99 19 foot Sea Ray and a
1996 22 foot Regal, both 19k. The regal has a sink and porta potty
(which my wife really wants.) How much difference in qualitity are the
boats thesmselves? I am looking for something to take to Catalina and
to the river.
WIll the 22 foot Regal be better for the ocean trips? I believe there
is only a 1 inch difference in the beam. 8'2" for the Yau and 8'3" for
the Regal.

Thanks for your replies.
