A very rare honest review. Fantastic! Wish the guy I bought my boat from would have been the same. Nice looking boat. Hope you enjoyed the rest of the season with her. Cheers!

[@robertsurprenant6420]

I'm pretty stoked about learning the essential know-hows about the 97 215 EC I just purchased. These videos are thus far my boat Bible. Can't thank you enough for taking the time to make these videos. You're awesome man!

[@Bierdaddy1]

I appreciate your honest and detailed tour, showing all the goodies and imperfections. I wish the guy I bought my boat from would have been as honest. 😆

[@ericoleson343]

I love your videos, seen them all! Just a few pts to critique. The blower should run 5 min before starting the engine and 5min after shutting it off. In boating the “ropes” become lines. Tying up the boat should have a bow line, stern line and possibly a spring line depending on docking conditions. Doing these videos must be extremely difficult. Again, keep up the good work!

[@norsuist]

I want to fart on your face Eric, whaddaya say?

[@YarimBenHur]

@NoNonsenseKnowHow Nice video. One thing, the open space under the tray, where you put your spare 5 gallons of fuel is actually the location where the fresh water tank should be.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Thanks. And yeah, the original tank was cracked and broken. Always thought of adding a new tank, but ended up just keeping the universal jug down there

[@GameOver321]

Love your videos on this boat. I'm going to look at a 1996 version of this same model tomorrow. Is there anything in particular I should be looking for? Thanks!

[@clarencewiles963]

Thumbs up 👍 good shape 😊

[@mmonte60]

When you open the engine compartment I noticed the top of the compartment does not have that egg shell noise insulation. Are you able to sound proof the top of the compartment? I was thinking of doing it to mine. Thanks!

[@nathanmcolton]

Why wouldn't Sea Ray put the stern door on the same side as the swim ladder? Seems weird to have to walk to the other side of the boat to enter.

[@contactus7606]

Do you need to have a four wheel drive to pull a boat or SUV is ok too?

[@joeanderson7144]

I have the same boat.. how do u fill the tank for the transom shower/ sink? It has the pump for pressure but I can figure out how to fill the tank. Thanks in advance.

[@YarimBenHur]

There should be a fill port on the stern opposite the stern door that you attach a hose to but it doesnt look like hes got one. My '97 215 EC has it.

[@mmonte60]

There should be a little hatch access right before you go down the stairs into the cuddy cabin that will open up and give you access to your water tank. You can see it on the video as he makes his way around the boat. It’s a circular hatch on the floor right before the stairs.

[@markfreese3396]

I would buy it...

[@apuya0000]

this boat still available

[@tkhemjinda]

Hi, I found same model for 10k with rebuild engine. Any comments on the rebuild? Thanks.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

I don't trust anything that's been rebuilt unless it was done by a very reputable shop or I know who did it. Might be fine might not. Dice roll

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Great boats though. 215 Express cruiser for the win

[@tkhemjinda]

Thanks yeah seats everything all new. I'm gonna need to have professional inspect and ask for sea trial. Love ur video I'm new to this lol.

[@markst.germain9286]

And it will need a new impeller since I just started it dry

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

That's a myth bro. Ask me how I know. Maybe if it was sitting dry for a couple years and it was actually dry inside the impeller housing. But even then starting it for a few seconds never hurts anything.

[@jasonmarucci558]

Is the boat for sale?

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Yes. Just sent you an email

[@mannyruiz9011]

Nice boat , how much u asking for?

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

thx. I ended up changing my mind about selling it shortly after posting this video because my girl wanted to keep it for the rest of the summer. I would sell it for 8000

[@mannyruiz9011]

Keep it is a good boat with a reliable engine.
