On ramp,
It is a 2004 Sea Ray 185 Sport, the 2003-2005 185's look like mine. Sea Ray did a redesign in 06 and took away many nice things like the anchor locker--you have to move up to the 200 now. It is a perfect size for two adults and some kids or three adults and gear (five adults and gear gets crowded). Our garage is short and it just fits with 21 feet with the trailer tongue folded back. I have the 4.3 MPI motor and can run about 120 miles per tank--we usually run 10 hours and have about 1/4 tank left at the end of the day of skiing, wakeboarding, cruising, etc. I am just over 140 hours and the boat is still in showroom condition without one scratch. Last summer I did some ocean boating with it and have never been more scared in my life--three foot seas were not fun and I will not go back without anything under 24 feet. We did take a 4 footer over the nose and I spent a week getting all the salt crap out of the boat--I am going to stay a lake boater until I get at least a 280 Sundancer. The lake we boat at is very large and it handles whitecaps well (kinda rough but not bad at all). Here is another shot of the boat and one of a hidden waterfall were we like to eat lunch and take breaks.
