These revolutionary ‘Gunwale’ mounted teppanyaki style hot plates are easily mounted in a rod holder and have a quick-release for level adjustment to any angle.
They feature:
• Electric and super fast heat-up
• Accurate temperature control
• Healthy and interactive Teppanyaki style cooking
• Built in cleaning facilities
We think they look great, are very functional and offer a good alternative to the traditional Stainless BBQs we mount on many boats.
A free standing table version is also available.
Sea Ray’s 2008 Yacht Expo was an outstanding success. Celebrating their 50th Anniversary this year Sea Ray used the event as an opportunity to invite the most important International Marine Journalists to visit. When it was all over a total of 57 boats were sold. Remarkable in the current US market especially considering they were all over 40ft!
I have reprinted an email from Rob Noyes, the Vice President of Marketing for Sea Ray.
“As of the close of business on Sunday afternoon we had sold 49 Sea Ray Sport Yachts and Yachts. While it is not a record, it exceeded our expectations. The only reason for this is the complete teamwork and cooperation from everyone. The planning was outstanding, the set up was one of the smoothest ever, the staff from the Sykes Creek factory bent over backwards to accommodate the event and all our employees were ready to pitch in no matter what was requested. This all got us ready for the International press event on Thursday. The press event came off without a hitch and we will get record levels of coverage from the magazines that attended. In a down economy, this is outstanding! We had a few domestic press attendees as well and they too were excited and overwhelmed with what they saw and experienced.
The customers and dealers came on Friday and once again were blown away with the event. There is no other manufacturer that could pull this off to the level that we do. We sold boats in the worst economy our generation has ever seen. To put this in perspective, we sold more sport yachts and yachts in 36 hours than we did last year at all of the January boat shows! I had more customers thank me this year than ever before because they all understand what it takes to deliver that kind of experience, especially in a down economy.”
One of the new models unveiled at the Yacht Expo was the Sea Ray 540 Sundancer. For an exclusive preview open the file on this link
The decision to try the ever popular Wavebreak Island for our next Sea Ray Owners Club Rendezvous proved, with a few reservations, to be a great success.
By midday, with a pretty terrible weather forecast, we had a row of Sea Rays rafted up with more arriving.
Then the storm hit. For about twenty minutes it crashed its way over us, with rolling storm clouds, thunder and lightening, torrential rain and massive winds. Very exciting! It cleared as quickly as it came and we all enjoyed a pleasant afternoon.
By then we had about twenty boats rafted with a few more nearby.
The water was still a little cloudy from all the rain we have been having and the wash from the traffic in the Main Channel made it a little uncomfortable at times for the smaller boats but we had plenty of room and were able to raft-up close to the beach.
As you can see we all enjoyed a variety of activities.
Sunday turned out to be just perfect: clear blue sky and a gentle breeze to soften the heat.
As we had hoped quite a few smaller day boats joined us for the fun.

It provides a smooth, dry ride and exceptional performance. And – like all Boston Whalers – it’s built to last, and is backed by the protection of a limited ten-year transferable hull warranty and our new three-year component warranty.

After much anticipation, Sea Ray has announced its stunning new model; the 475 Sundancer! From its sexy exterior lines, to the large open cockpit, to the sensuous VIP Stateroom, this next generation model is about to set a new standard in the industry.
Compared to the 455 Sundancer the list of extra standard features on the 475 Sundancer is quite extensive:
opening Skylights
integrated Hardtop and Windshield
Electric side windows
Dual vent windows
larger Generator
increased fuel capacity
Cockpit Sun pad
Dual Helm seat with thigh rise
enlarged Wet Bar and Galley sinks
increased Transom storage
entry door screen
yacht wood interior
larger Salon sofa
private guest Stateroom with twin beds
increased storage in the V-berth, to name just a few.
Perhaps the most exciting feature of this new Sundancer is the standard, twin 425-hp CMD engines with Zeus drives! Not only will this boat deliver outstanding top-end performance of 36 knots, the joystick control removes all the stress of operating a boat.The feel of luxury and elegance, plus an abundance of natural lighting radiates from the interior, with optional wood salon flooring, large hull windows, skylights, opening port lights, stainless-steel appliances, Ultraleather seating and high-gloss cherry interior cabinetry. Wooden Shoji doors to both staterooms ensure privacy, as does the split configuration of both the mid-berth and forward stateroom heads. The large, open cockpit with a new, innovative sun pad design, increased cockpit seating, optional electric grill and drawer-style refrigerator, optional defrosters, and portside companion seat lounger all make the new 475 Sundancer party central. The 475 Sundancer also carries the latest technology in entertainment, offering unlimited opportunities for fun, with a Salon 26-inch, retractable Flatscreen, LCD TV with DVD player, optional Cockpit and Mid-Stateroom TV’s, Sony stereo system, an MP3 port and iPod docking station and optional inverter, to keep the fun going when the lights go out. In keeping with the Sea Ray tradition, the 475 Sundancer is a beautiful boat with everything any boater needs for cruising, overnighting, or extended trips, yet has all the latest and greatest technology to ensure safe and confident operation.
Motor Boating magazine has said, “I like the 43/475 Sundancer. It shows the extra attention to detail Sea Ray owners have come to expect from this brand. They won’t be disappointed with the builder’s newest launch. I think the boat is impressive for another reason, too. We’re living in an uncertain economy these days, yet this company has chosen this year to introduce an all-new boat that incorporates revolutionary technology, convenience-enhancing features and top-shelf workmanship. In my mind, those things seem to reflect the builder’s optimism and confidence in the fact that true quality will find its market.”
