Owner Experience Review
Owners describe the L650bySEA RAYas a genuinely owner‑operated cruiser. Typical use ranges from family cruising and seasonal passage‑making between New England, the Mid‑Atlantic, and Southeast Florida to weekend trips and short Bahamas hops. The helm side door, joystick controls, and effective bow/stern thrusters—combined with a responsive helm—make close‑quarters handling approachable without a crew.
On the water, trials report a solid, stable feel in wakes with Seakeeper gyros engaged and a soft re‑entry. Comfortable cruise settles around 23–25 knots, with about 30–30.7 knots at wide open throttle; fuel burn rises substantially at the top end. Livability is a strong point: a four‑stateroom lower deck with a full‑beam master, a sociable galley‑salon, and ergonomics/finishes that many owners praise for family and guest use. As one live‑aboard‑leaning owner put it, “I would not change a thing, except for maybe rethink the master stateroom closets. My wife is happy…”
The caveat is execution. Multiple owners note extensive delivery punch‑lists—sometimes approaching 100 items—and recurring electrical/fit‑out corrections, summarized by at least one long‑time owner as “great design, horrible execution.” Specific service notes include some boats lacking a factory expansion/pressure tank and concerns about carpeting/staple installation allowing water ingress. Running and service costs trend high relative to smaller boats (twin Caterpillar C18s, gyro stabilizers, and larger systems), though engine‑room accessibility in test reviews is a bright spot.
Pros and Cons
- Owner‑operator friendly controls and layout with responsive handling plus thrusters/joystick for easy docking.
- Stable ride in wakes with Seakeeper gyros engaged and a soft re‑entry.
- Spacious four‑stateroom layout including a full‑beam master and a sociable galley‑salon.
- Frequent delivery punch‑lists and fit/finish corrections have been reported by multiple owners.
- Specific service items have included missing expansion/pressure tanks and carpeting/staple installs that raised water‑ingress worries.
- Running and ownership costs are high relative to smaller boats due to big engines, gyros, and complex systems.
