Sea Ray Laguna Center Console.

Can anyone help me understand what the differance is between a seacraft and a sea ray center console? A Marina has a 1995 24ft Sea Ray CC for sale with twin 130 Outboard Mercs on her. The price that they want is $19,000. I'm in the market for a good CC boat that I can fish offshore from time to time for bluefin tuna. I need to venture offshore approximetly 42miles for the big ones.

2 entirely different enchiladas. I've been on a 21 Sea Ray laguna and it was a nice boat but it's a whole different set than the SeaCraft.

SeaRay is a cruising boat company that once also built decent fishing boats. Seacraft is a fish boat company that occasionally built weekenders.

John,
Thanks for your knowledge re: Sea Ray vs Seacraft. I'm tempted to drive to see the Sea Ray but I don't want to make a major mistake.

It's not a bad boat but it's not a Seacraft either...

My current boat is a 1992 Sea Ray 21 center console with a 200 Merc. I've put 200 hours on it in the last year and really love it. I've crossed Lake Ontario (65 mile crossing) a number of times and have pretty much seen all the conditions the Great Lakes can throw at you.

As luck would have it, I stumbled accross an '89 SeaCraft 23 center console with a 200 Yamaha. I bought it without a sea trial and brought it up from Florida. I finally got it on the lake in big water and was astounded at how much better the ride was! It was like riding on air!

The Sea Ray is a terrific boat, but no contest on this subject.

Come on up to Rochester and I'll be pleased to take you out on both. It won't take long to find out...
