Biography - Long version

These are "reviews", not surveys, and bear no resemblance to our survey reports.

We do not publish the results of the surveys that we perform. Please note that the purpose of these reviews is educational, to help you discern the differences in quality among boats generally. They are not offered as a means to help you evaluate any particular boat builder. We have no other reviews than those posted.

Please read the Introduction which summarizes the basis of these reviews: Boat Reviews Introduction

Affordable Boats

The Perfect Boat

Our boat reviews are unlike any others you'll find on the Internet. They are not marketing gimmicks nor intended to sell you a boat. The primary reason we write these reviews is educational.

Many people are disappointed that they can't search the Internet and find reviews of the boats they are interested in. First, you need to understand that over the years there are thousands of builders building tens of thousands of different models of boats. This means that it's impossible for even a large corporation to cover them all, yet alone a small fraction of them.

Evaluating a boat is terribly time consuming and the only reason we are able to do it is through our normal survey business which makes these boats available to us.

We do not publish the results of surveys. While our reviews are often derived from surveys, they are not surveys. Boat surveys do not contain opinions; surveys are about facts. A review essentially constitutes the opinion of the reviewer. We are often accused of being opinionated, but that's what reviews are all about. Opinions.  People sometimes ask, "Why aren't your reviews more balanced?" Or they say, "Why are you always comparing every boat to top of the line boats like Hatteras, Bertram, etc.?"

In the market for a used boat Sea Ray vs Regal

• Thread starter tvojnyk
• Start date May 17, 2010
• May 17, 2010

I am in the market for a used sport cruisers. After doing research, I have narrowed it down to a 2006-2007 Regal 2860 or a 280 Sun Dancer. Can anyone share with me an objective pro's and con's for both?  

Active Member

I don't know what your budget is, but I have a buddy with a Regal 3060 for sale with a trailer. If you're interested pm me and I will send you the flyer.  

Well-Known Member

I think the 280 DA is a great boat, much better than the Regal.... But if I were you, I would go bigger and get inboards... They are less maintenance and easier to manuever... There are some great deals on 320s and 340s...

I am limited in size due to wanting to fit it in my boat house. I have also looked at the 290 DA as well. Quality is important to me. I am new to boating and posted to get some sound advice from experienced boaters. My brother in law has a 340 and suggest a Sea Ray. However, he let me know about this site and suggest I post to get some additional feedback.  

You're on a SEARAY forum so everyone here will say SEARAY is better. I made the jump from a Sea Ray 280 to a Regal 3560. In terms of the quality of both boat's they are on par with each other but on the 28 foot size a feel the layout of the Sea Ray is better especially in the cockpit. It comes down to personal preference more then anything. Go over to the Regal forum and ask the same question. There are many people with the 2860 over there. Also resale value is horrible on every brand of boat right now. Foreclosures are kiling the market. Just my .02  

I think Regal and Sea Ray have two different approaches to designing boats. Seems as if most other companies just copy Sea Ray - Regal actually has original thoughts. When we looked at a 3060 Regal - the wife ruled it out because there was nowhere to store plates. The salesman suggested storing them next to the trash can. We were actually pretty serious about the boat and then we started mapping out how we would use it. After that the wife had zero interest in the Regal. Then we compared a Regal 3360 - right next to a 320. The 320 was a roomier and larger boat and while the Regal has some nice features. The Sea Ray seemed like the better value. When I compare mid 90's Regal Cruisers to mid-90's Sea Rays. The Sea Rays always seem to be more timeless and often tend to look better on the water.  

I admit that I am biased to Sea Rays. That said, at the boat show this past winter we toured all of the Regals and all of the Sea Rays. The consensus was that the finish on the Sea Rays was superior and that the Regals seemed gimmicky.  

In what way is the Regal 40SC, 44SC and 52SC gimmicky? There is a waiting list to purchase one of these boats and all come with volvo IPS which i would take over merc zeus any day of the week?

Nacho Boat said: The "new" big boats from Regal are absolutely beautiful! Regal hit a home run with these boats. However, I don't think the same can be said for the 2860. On the pocket cruisers, the Regal line is a little dated, and they need to update their design and styling. (IMHO). Click to expand...

Everyone is going to be passionate about their own boat - including me. That's fully understandable. However, "choice" is one of the great things about our side of the world. I love my Sea Ray...so don't pick on me for what I say next! Regal makes a great boat. I know because I've owned four...a 2860, 3260, 3560 and 4460. All were great boats. All had foibles. My 560 is a great boat too...but also with foibles. Some folks in this thread have talked about space and the fact of the better layout in the cockpit. One of the reasons I went with the Regal was the (in my humble opinion) much better use of space in the salon and sleeping areas. I don't know how they do it, but they seem to have more space available downstairs. I have found the overall quality to be at least equivalent on the Regals. I just spent a fortune over the winter fixing a number of fibreglas flaws and voids on my current Sea Ray. Not saying the Regal is better, but it certainly ain't worse... And one of the things I really liked about the Regal is that it is still a family run and independent company. Their service is legendary (I'm sure we could find exceptions) and my experience was extraordinary. My 3560 was one of the first of that model produced. As a consequence, there were a few issues. Regal stepped up to the plate and flew one of their engineers from Orlando up to Orillia, Ontario, Canada (north of Toronto) to go over my issues and stick around for the week to make everything right. I felt like a real whiner when I found out, during the conversation, that he had dedicated the week to fix up my boat, even though his house had just been condemned due to a hurricane that had passed through a week before (~2004)! I felt like crawling under the picnic table. I think it comes down to looking and the choices and trying to figure out what will work best for you. Sleeping accomodations. Space. Design. All legitimate considerations. If you find something you like, you will be well served by either brand. Cheers, Paul

Thanks for all of your help. I agree with you about the regal's use of space. When comparing the 280DA and the 2860, the aft cabin is lees like a cave on the 2860. The Windows in the Windows Express make it also much less like a cave in the 2860. However, I have heard that the craftsmanship in the 280 is at a higher level. A Sea Ray will also hold its resale value much better and the Sea Ray Dealership is just across the river. From what it sounds like from all of you is that I will not go wrong with either choice.  

• Jun 16, 2010

I have been looking at 90s 270s and 00+ 260s. Has anyone researched the 2660 or 2765 Regal? A friend suggested I check them out as I am tall and the cabin height is a foot higher. It is!!! It does feel better down there. The head has much more height than the 260. Thanks for any opinions. If I bought one would I still be welcome to hang out here?  

Just another eclectic geek

I like them both. When I was looking in 1999, the 32 foot Regal had a very funky propulsion system layout. The engines were in the normal place with the transmissions, but the V-drive was a separate box under the mid-cabin berth. Too many parts. Too messy if the V-drive unit needed service since it was inside the cabin. Now on the other hand, if I was buying a new boat in today's market the Regal 44SC would be at the top of the list because Volvo's IPS is that much more superior in its engineering to everything else on today's market. If I were looking at a used inboard/v-drive boat, that would probably be something like a Sea Ray 460DA. To me, it's not Regal vs Sea Ray, it's the individual boat and it's components vs the competitor's similar model. Best regards, Frank

I looked at Tiara's since the design was appealing to me. Sea Ray's answer to the Tiara in the 340 Amberjack had some styling advantages but some practicality disadvantages. Sea Ray was a "better buy" in my opinion when you considered all of the angles. I've had a Doral, Sea Ray, Wellcraft and now back to Sea Ray. Comparing boats of the same era, Sea Ray seems to be more solidly built, but can lack some of the "smart" features of the competators. I choose solid over features any day.

Re: Whats Better? SeaRay or Regal? Dunno about the big cruisers. But Sea Ray deckboats and Select bowriders are more plush than Regal. Some insiders say the Regals have better construction. Sea Ray may have an edge in customer service, of course that is mostly up to your local dealer. Regal deckboats and bowriders are typically priced well under Sea Ray. More at the Four Winns price level. Which I would attribute to the difference in the plush factor. And the smaller market position.<br /><br />Kelly Cook

Re: Whats Better? SeaRay or Regal? Any boat is only as good as the care that has been given to it by the previous owners. Even a Sea Ray that has been neglected for 10 years will be worse than a Bayliner that has been meticiously cared for and garage-kept.<br /><br />Tommays- where was that photo taken?? Venice?

Re: Whats Better? SeaRay or Regal? Depends on what length your looking at ........After 16 years with SeaRays I went Regal ...... Fastrac hull had alot to do with it , but I just found the quality in the smaller versions way better in the Regal .price was not the issue FWIW

Re: Whats Better? SeaRay or Regal? They are both stamped out mediocre quality production boats. Which is better is probably more a matter of whether yours was built on Monday/Friday or not.  

Re: Whats Better? SeaRay or Regal? What you can see is pretty close to perfect looking on both boats<br /><br />What you cant get to with ripping apart thm apart is were the difference is and who can really say unless they were there for the build of that hull<br /><br />Haveing been luckey enough to own one hand built low production boat(J-24 sailboat )<br /><br />I can say that my power boat is Ok BUT NONE of these boats are even remotly as well built as a low production hull<br /><br />(there is no place to hide shortcuts in a J-24 hull)<br /><br /><br />tommays

Re: Whats Better? SeaRay or Regal? So I read all the threads. I also have a working knowledge of Sea Ray. If I were interested in that size boat would own one in a heartbeat. They don't have to take a backseat to anyone......bar none.<br /><br />Mark

Five Big Bowriders Tested

• By Boating Tech Team
• Updated: November 16, 2020

Once upon a time, bowriders were relegated in size to boats that could fit on a trailer, so if you wanted a large boat that could hold lots of people, you were stuck with a cabin cruiser, even if you never once planned to spend the night. Today, you can buy bowriders exceeding 40 feet length overall that are designed to fit how most people use their boats—as large entertainment platforms with plenty of space to enjoy the open air yet still handle big water. Here are five great dayboat mega-bowriders that will exceed your boating expectations.

Editor’s Note: Check out our in-depth test of each model – Formula 380 SSC OB , Tiara Sport 38 LX , Cruisers Yachts 38 GLS , Monterey 385 SE , Sea Ray SLX 400

Formula 380 SSC

Formula is historically all about performance combined with top-level fit and finish. The 380 SSC has everything Formula brings to the table in this large dayboat that the builder calls a crossover. Beyond performance, the 380 SSC is designed for relaxation and entertainment. Start with the bow, which features a deep, secure and spacious lounge, with wraparound seating and stainless-steel grab rails along the gunwales. It makes a fantastic sun lounge, or you can set up the bow table for a social gathering point.

Like its predecessor Super Sport Crossover models—the 430 and 400—the Formula 380 SSC is a joy to operate. It’s a 10-ton boat that, once up and running, carves through the water with the grace of one of Formula’s 24-foot bowriders. While Formula enthusiasts have always appreciated the brand’s performance attributes, any boater looking to cruise or anchor at the sandbar in style will appreciate the layout.

Visibility from the helm is excellent, with the driver’s line of sight extending above the heads of any bow passengers. The flush-mounted multifunction-display screens are easy to read underway, and the standard Joystick Piloting system makes docking and close-quarters handling stress-free endeavors. We especially loved that the triple-wide helm bench had three independent flip-up bolsters, so the captain and crew could adjust their seats to individual tastes.

If you prefer your power hanging from the transom, Formula offers the boat with triple Mercury Verado and Mercury Racing configurations. You sacrifice some space on the swim platform and the hydraulic swim step, but you can have 1,350 hp worth of outboards making you go. No matter what power you choose, you’ll benefit from Formula’s Fas3Tech hull, a performance design with twin steps to improve efficiency and running attitude. Powered by twin Mercury Racing 520s coupled with Bravo Three XR sterndrives, we raced to a top speed of just over 51 mph, an excellent number for a boat this size. The 380 SSC definitely lives up to its performance roots while offering a layout that provides entertainment and creature comforts anyone who steps aboard will love.

How We Tested

• Engines: Twin 520 hp Mercury Racing
• Drive/Props: Bravo Three XR/BIII XR 21″ propsets
• Gear Ratio: 2.00:1 Fuel Load: 188 gal. Crew Weight: 430 lb.

Tiara Sport 38 LX

Tiara Sport has earned the reputation for overbuilding its boats to withstand the worst conditions the Great Lakes and other big waters have to offer, and the latest Tiara Sport lineup is no exception. The 38 LX delivers that rugged ability with speed, power and a penchant for entertaining.

Our test boat boasted triple Mercury Verado 400s, but you can opt for triple Yamaha F350s, or Seven Marine 527 hp engines. The Mercs pushed us to over 55 mph (48-plus knots), which is more than enough to thrill everyone aboard. Cruise speed with these is right around 30 mph at 4,000 rpm, sipping 33 gph for 0.9 mpg, which isn’t bad when you’re pushing 9 tons of sleek, waterborne family fun through the water.

As for performance, the Tiara Sport 38 LX has a 20-degree deadrise at the transom, plus two full-length strakes underwater, and wide chine flats from bow to stern. What that means is the 38 LX slices the water like a knife through soft cheese. The strakes act like shock absorbers to soften the ride, the chines throw spray out to the side, and the result is what we’ve come to love about Tiara boats: soft-riding, stable, dry and seaworthy in all conditions.

On many outboard boats, you lose the swim platform, but the 38 LX has an ample platform to step aboard from a dock or climb aboard from a swim. We liked the one-level cockpit sole from transom to bow with no steps to trip Aunt Edna, and our test boat sported the optional faux-teak deck that looks terrific.

Tiara gets points for inventive aft seating with immense flexibility, with options to face aft or forward, and chaises with adjustable backs to lay flat as sun pads. And the space not used to house inboard or sterndrive engines creates tons of stowage, plus room for the standard Onan 5 kW diesel genset—you need it for the air conditioner, grill and other at-anchor niceties—and an optional Seakeeper 3 gyro. Under the standard full-beam hardtop with sunroof, you’ll find an L-shaped dinette to starboard with a gorgeous teak table, and an outdoor kitchen to port with a sink, drawer fridge and optional Kenyon grill.

The helm sports a double-wide seat with fold-up bolsters for standing and dual footrests at different heights. A padded anti-glare eyebrow shades twin Garmin 16-inch monitors, the Mercury joystick (a bow thruster is also standard), and digital throttles for smooth shifting. The companion seat is also innovative, and it swivels to face the dinette. The entire helm console tilts aft, giving full access to helm rigging. Competitors lack this convenience.

Forward, the bow seating wraps around, with folding armrests and undercushion stowage. The coaming backrests are a full 40 inches high for kiddie security. The bulkhead in front of the companion seat opens like a gull wing, revealing a spacious compartment with a teak step and designer flooring, VacuFlush electric head, and air conditioning.

• Engines: Triple 400 hp Mercury 400 Verados
• Drive/Prop: Outboard/Mercury Enertia Eco 16″ x 17″ 3-blade stainless steel
• Gear Ratio: 1.75:1 Fuel Load: 331 gal. Water: 50 gal. Crew Weight: 450 lb.

Cruisers Yachts 38 GLS

The Cruisers Yachts 38 GLS includes everything most boaters love about their boats and combines them into a terrific dayboat with overnight capabilities. Upon first boarding and walking through the 38 GLS, most first-time boat shoppers will take away several high points, such as the foldout beach door that turns a big chunk of the starboard coaming into a water-level “beach,” a replacement for the transom platform you lose with outboards. It’s an elegant solution for allowing the corrosion resistance and other benefits of outboard power while simultaneously offering the ability to use the stern of the boat as a swimming, lounging and socializing center.

Even better, the aft seating swivels to face this “beach” so that parents can watch their little water rats paddle around. The rest of the 38 GLS’s capacious cockpit is notable for offering a full bar—complete with stools—and an outdoor kitchen including a grill, sink, refrigerator and ice maker. Cruisers Yachts makes the most of the bowrider seating with streamlined headrests and a removable table, adding flexibility and function.

The other takeaway is the cabin, which surprises first with 6 feet, 5 inches of headroom, second with a nearly queen-size berth in a private stateroom for naps or overnighting, and last—but really important—is an enclosed head with a hot-and-cold freshwater shower. That means no more rinse-offs on the transom, although there is another shower there. The settee/dinette below also converts into a double, offering comfy sleeping for four.

Standard power is a trio of 300 hp Mercury Verado outboards (350 hp Verados are optional), and we easily hit 53 mph with a bunch of people aboard and a full fuel tank. These Mercs give you joystick maneuvering for docking; they’re surprisingly fuel-efficient too. At a near 30 mph cruising speed, this boat has a range of almost 270 miles. Handling the boat at speed proved predictable, with no unpleasant surprises for the captain or crew.

• Engines: Triple 300 hp Mercury Verado
• Drive/Props: Outboard/Revolution 4 16″ x 18″ stainless-steel 4-blade
• Gear Ratio: 1.75:1 Fuel Load: 200 gal. Water on Board: 0 gal. Crew Weight: 850 lb.

Monterey 385 SE

The Monterey 385 SE deck design gives this cruiser a feel of sporty luxury, and it has seating for the largest of crews. It’s a mega-bowrider with a well-designed layout. Start on the starboard-side, where there’s a double-wide sun lounge with a fold-down armrest. An included filler cushion covers the synthetic teak sole to complete a double-wide sun pad. There’s a single-width lounge with folding armrest on the port side too. Without the center cushion, the entire area could seat six to eight without crowding, and the cup holders are tucked in behind the cushions, under the bolsters, so drinks won’t be jostled.

Seating in the cockpit includes the first-mate’s double seat, with a foldaway step for stand-up options. An L-shaped lounge begins behind that seat, and as it turns the corner to the transom, the seat bottom widens to become a nearly 6-by-6-foot sun pad. It converts from a back-to-back bench to an aft-facing lounge. The cabin below has a large berth, a galley area, and an enclosed head with a shower—all practical and well-designed.

On the performance end, the 385 SE does not disappoint. When a boat like this can jump up onto plane in about 4.5 seconds and hit a top speed of more than 57 mph, it’s certainly an eye-opener. But when it’s a 38-foot day cruiser with a connection to the water that happens to be sports-car-crisp (thanks to the Optimus 360 power steering with electronic throttle and shift), that’s downright startling. As we accelerated and trimmed up, the chines astern lifted nearly clear of the spray, yet the boat stayed hooked up and even accepted some authoritative rudder input, responding without complaint.

In port, the Optimus 360 joystick steering gives confidence to dock this boat like a runabout. Nudge the stick in the direction of travel, and the boat crabs sideways; twist the stick, and the boat pivots steadily. It’s the complete package.

• Engines: Triple Yamaha F300s
• Drive/Prop: Outboard/Saltwater Series II 19″
• Gear Ratio: 1.75:1 Fuel Load: 125 gal. Water on Board: 7 gal. Crew Weight: 350 lb.

Sea Ray 400 SLX

This 2017 Boating Boat of the Year still makes the grade as a boater’s version of a Swiss Army knife. The largest of the bowriders we’ve included here, it’s got a ton of well-thought-out amenities.

Why would we call it a Swiss Army knife? Start in the cockpit. The wide swim platform features a center section that lowers for easy water access, and the teak-planked starboard coaming folds out to vastly expand the deck. Sea Ray calls it a swim terrace and, though only for use at rest, it turns the cockpit into a waterfront patio. There’s a big sun pad next to it with a backrest cushion that transforms by spinning to create several sitting and lounging areas. There’s also a hidden compartment in the transom big enough to stow full-length stand-up paddleboards. No more strapping boards onto the hardtop.

The midcockpit has a wraparound dinette (using that movable backrest), and an outdoor galley with a sink is to starboard. Our test boat had double electric Kenyon grills plus an Isotherm fridge—both no-brainer options. An optional retractable sunshade deploys electrically from the hardtop. The double-wide seat opposite the helm spins around to face the cockpit seating, and the teak cockpit table unfolds to dining-size.

With our twin 380 hp Mercury sterndrive test power, the SLX 400 provided a performance that was nothing but sheer fun. In hard-over turns, it felt rock-solid, and no one aboard felt a need to reach for a grab rail. We topped out at a shade over 46 mph, and cruised at 3,500 rpm and 30-plus mph. If you prefer outboard power, the 400 SLX can be rigged with Mercury outboards.

Forward is another entertainment area, and getting there is easy and safe via a wide portside walkway and flush-mounted door, which combines with the folding windshield to protect the cockpit from wind and spray. Three forward-facing touring seats have folding armrests and storage bins on both sides. Seating on each side of the bow converts to a sun pad, and a removable table provides another area for munchies. Grab rails are everywhere, and the entire boat has padded coamings.

Stepping down from the helm through the slider and into the cabin, headroom is nearly 7 feet. The starboard-side head includes a shower and a VacuFlush toilet. A mini galley to port features a microwave and fridge, and a wraparound couch with a folding table converts into a V-berth. Tucked under the cockpit is a vast playroom with a queen-size mattress with padded backrests so you can stretch out.

• Engines: Twin 380 hp MerCruiser 8.2 Mag ECTs
• Drive/Props: Bravo III X/B3 24″ pitch stainless-steel propsets
• Gear Ratio: 2.00:1 Fuel Load: 240 gal. Water on Board: 10 gal. Crew Weight: 350 lb.

Face Off: Azimut 64 Fly Vs. Sea Ray L650 Fly

April 8, 2019 12:23 pm

These stylish flybridge yachts always rank high on the pre-owned market., azimut 64 fly [2011 – current].

“Not only is the yacht remarkably well-balanced underway, and pretty damn quick, but the marriage of the Cats’ considerable torque to a pair of perfectly pitched propellers produce a boat with quite extraordinary acceleration and poise, right through the rev range.”

— Power and Motoryacht

“Beauty, powerful engines, cruising elegance, stability at anchor and the option to choose between two layouts for the saloon… there are numerous excellent reasons that can lead to choosing the Azimut 64. These distinctive elements place the 64 at the top of its category.”

— TopSpeed.com

“ The Azimut 64 Flybridge took Italian styling and luxury to the next level when she was introduced in 2011″

— Motorboating and Sailing (UK)

SEA RAY L650 [2015 – CURRENT]

“The L650 Fly was intended to be the “best of the best” of what Sea Ray is capable of. Make no mistake, Sea Ray management is aiming at the top boats in class in terms of styling, quality, and market appeal”

— BoatTest.com

“What you get with the Sea Ray L650 is a boat with a thoughtful layout, a sturdy build, and surprisingly sporty performance. She will definitely compete with the best of them in her class.”

“Painstakingly laid out to anticipate your needs, the L650 is both high art and highly capable. Form and function complement each other as if they’ve been dancing together forever.”

“The new L650 is a powerful, high-speed, solid performer with an intelligent array of luxury features.”

Azimut 64 Fly | Powerboat Guide Review

A successor to the top-selling Azimut 62 Flybridge , the Azimut 64 Flybridge took Italian styling and luxury to the next level when she was introduced in 2011. The flybridge and cockpit are among the largest in this class, and the squarish bow protects the deck and sun pad from sea-spray while cruising. On the main deck, the salon is flooded with natural light through large windows. A posh U-shaped sofa to port in the salon seats six, and a long cabinet to starboard houses an entertainment center. Two steps separate the salon from the galley and dining areas. Unlike earlier Azimut yachts, the galley is completely open to the dinette and salon. The helm has been moved from a central position to starboard which permits an atrium on the port side while also allowing more light down into the living area. There are three staterooms and three heads below. The full-beam master is amidships and features an offset queen bed, two-seat dinette, and panoramic views from port and starboard hull windows. The VIP stateroom has an island bed, and the second guest stateroom has two single beds convertible to a queen. Two-person crew quarters are aft. Caterpillar 1150hp C18 diesels cruise at 26–28 knots (30+ knots top).

Sea Ray L650 Fly | Powerboat Guide Review

A modern flybridge yacht of exceptional beauty and sophistication, the Sea Ray L650 Fly was designed to compete against the top-tier European brands in both luxury and performance. Sea Ray offers this model in two versions: The L650 Fly with flybridge, or the L650 with an electrically operated sunroof instead. The upper-level layout consists of facing settees to port and starboard as you enter, with a massive galley forward to port and a comfortable dinette to starboard, just behind the lower helm. There are four staterooms and three heads on the lower level—the VIP stateroom is forward, guest cabins are to port and starboard, and an opulent full-beam master with queen bed, his and hers sinks, and vertical hull windows is amidships. Crew quarters are aft, and a very useful day head is accessed from the swim platform. Above, there are two dining areas on the huge flybridge and the chaise loungers forward of the helm convert to sun pads. Additional features include a hydraulic swim platform, hardwood salon flooring, recessed foredeck seating with table, bow/stern thrusters, separate washer and dryer units, and gyro stabilizers. Cruise in the mid-20s with Cat 1150hp C18 engines (30+ knots top).
