The Day has finally come

[jon and michie]

Hi - Finally after being away at work last Monday 18th July 2016 was Hand over day.
I am a proud owner of a sea ray 315 sun dancer which Jez "Whitelighter" pointed me in the direction of ( Many thanks Jez especially for the advice on buying ).
Myself and the swmbo spent the week on her and are loving the boating life - never been so chilled out
I am based on the river crouch to learn how to handle her which I have found a bit of a challenge to moor her as it is a tight squeeze into her berth but hopefully the marina are going to help us out by a new berth or widening - My apologies to anyone in the same marina who has witnessed this.

anyway here are some pics from the weekend

Thats exactly how it affects SWMBO and I!

Congratulations on your new boat, I hope you have some good times on her.

That's a smart looking boat, I'm sure you'll have many happy times on board. And great pics.

Welcome to the inexpensive world of boating.
Hope to see you in such far flung places as the Medway at some point in the future.

I thought you were trying to keep the Medway for yourself Fred

Congrats, nice boat have fun!
At least you are between fingers so not trying to berth between finger and another boat

 

[Whitelighter]

Fantastic, well done Jon.

Glad you are pleased with the boat and you've already spent some quality time aboard.
She looks like a real beauty and a good size.

Here's to many more chilled out weeks afloat

Looks great, but then I am a little biased, I have the same one... Enjoy!

 

[jon and michie]

Thank you for the replies - Much appreciated.

Anthony I am sure I will be asking questions (if you don't mind) as you'll know the 315 inside out

Hi, Happy to help if I can, although I am not sure what year your is, I am presuming pre2007 becuase of the seating but I dont recognise the vent on the starboard sign. Anyway you might also want to check out:

The 280 is the US name for the 315, and although its very long (about 500 posts), it has just about every bit of info you could imagine. If your boat is a bot newer there are similar long threads on there for different generations.
