Sea Ray 230 Signature 1996

1996 Sea Ray 230 Signature Bow Rider, MerCruiser 7.4L V8 Bravo III, Tandem-Axle Trailer

This is the 230 Signature spec buyers actually hunt for: the 7.4L big block V8 paired with a Bravo III duoprop drive, sold as a complete package with a tandem-axle Sea Ray trailer. Turn-key, road-ready, and documented.

Why This One Stands Out:

• Dealer-verified 1,024 hours: read during our August 2026 shop check-over. Most boats this age can't prove their hours at all, and a documented number is worth real peace of mind
• 7.4L V8 big block: effortless holeshot with a full crew aboard, holds plane at low RPM where smaller engines strain
• Bravo III duoprop, twin stainless props: tracks straight at any speed, strong reverse control at the dock
• Recent service on file: new lower shift cable, starter solenoid, and gimbal service in 2025, professional winterization each fall since
• Premium Signature trim: wet bar with sink, cabin heater and defroster, power helm seat, power engine hatch, wood-rim wheel, Ritchie compass
• Ready for the season: bimini top, full mooring cover, swim platform with boarding ladder, trim tabs, walk-through windshield

Built for Big Water

At 23 feet with a deep cockpit and real freeboard, this hull handles the chop that sends smaller bowriders home early. Right at home on Rice Lake, the Kawarthas, or anywhere on the Trent-Severn, and the tandem trailer means the whole waterway is in reach. The cream interior presents far above its age: vinyl intact, stitching clean, clearly protected by that mooring cover.

Ideal for: families who want a proper full-size bowrider without a new-boat payment, or anyone stepping up from an underpowered 18-footer.

Documented, Not Guessed

Serviced and maintained at Harris Boat Works, a third-generation Rice Lake marina, over the last two seasons, with records available to serious buyers. This is a 30-year-old boat priced honestly for what it is, and we'll walk you through the service file rather than around it.

Consignment sale. No HST, no financing on this unit.

Come see it at our docks in Gores Landing on Rice Lake. Call or text to book a viewing, and a Lake Test is available for serious buyers.
