I agree, I have been looking at SeaRay a lot more. They do bring a higher price tag but very well set up. The more I have been looking at these boats I really want a dedicated bed. Not a table you have to drop and fill in with cushions. I have seen this option with most SeaRay Sundancers and Monteray’s

I’ve seen 10-12’s once we were in the harbor at Michigan city and had to take turns watching the boats during the night, popping bumpers like water balloons and snapping dock lines left and right, it was pretty fucked up, and the waves making it back that far were maybe 3-4’s at best, my boss drove a 65 across the lake that night, he said he would stuff Into one and the spray would clear the entire boat
