It was clear when we showed up at the dock to test the new Sea Ray 205 Sport that this boat was unlike any Sea Ray sportboat we have seen before. We think the look of this boat is something to be admired, but the question to ask is, how well will she run? The answer came as soon as we hit the test track.
