I recently purchased this 1988 Sea Ray Seville 21-footer, V6 Mercruiser, from the original owner, with 33 original documented hours...galvanized trailer with maybe 50 miles on it, full canvas, and every option offered by Sea Ray that year. It had sat in a storage shed for the past 23 years, unused. (Long story) Before he advertised the boat for sale, the owner took it to Sea Ray and had them flush the fuel system and tank and refill it, add two new batteries and replace the exhaust manifolds that had rusted over the past 25 years. There's not a mark on the boat anywhere and the carpet/upholstery looks factory new. It's a time capsule! Paid about 10 cents on the dollar compared to a new one. 'Bout time I got lucky!

Those Sea-Rays have nice, clean, lines. And if it keeps the Missus happy, that's a priceless benefit!!! ;)
