Well, after some looking around at lots of brands and taking an H220 frenzy out and lots of Sea Rays, I have fallen for a 2010 SL222 with 70 hours only and loaded with just aout every extra from stainless arch and speakers, upgraded florentine interior, full hull gel coat, 377 engine, DTS, smart-tow, and even thru hull exhaust.

My questions are:

is the SL222 as good as I think it is?

Is it $48,000 good?

I looked online and it seems a good price for the boat as it is pristine, from a dealer (his personal boat kept at his house) and has so many extras.

By the way, I am here in Puerto Vallarta in Mexico so generally boats are a little more (to a lot more...) depending if they have been imported or are temporary imports.

I sea trialled the SL222 right after the H220 and in light choppy waves, the SL222 totally outperformed the H220 giving a smooth yet grippy ride in corners unlike the H220 which was quite skitty on the water.

Any comments or suggestions gratefully appreciated!

You have a great forum.

Thanks to you all...

Bartster.

Ps. I need to add a VHF and gps/fish finder. Any improvements on these?

Open bow boat ? Not good for rough waters.
