Hello,

Currently own another brand by the Brunswick company, a 1998 3055. Looking at a 1999 Maxum 3700. Also have our eye on a 340 and 370 Sundancer as well.

Yep recognized the name.

A tad slower around but good folk with less emotions.

You will pay more just to have the name Sea Ray on your boat. It's great when selling. My next boat will be the 3700SCR.

If I were already in a Bayliner 305, jumping to a Searay 340 is too small a jump IMHO. Especially with Searays, which feel oddly small inside for their badged sizes. They seem to have done better with the layouts in the Bayliners and Maxum's.

I agree, Searays have always felt tight to me as well.

Agree on the "over-priced" Sea Rays. The 330 feels more cramped than the 3055. You can get a 3-4 year newer 3700 vs. a 370.
