I have a soft spot for Searays since our first boat was a Searay. They sell plenty of sub 30ft sports boats in the European market but they have never sold as many 30ft+ boats in Europe as they might have done, given the size of the company which is much larger than most Brit builders. Their boats look and feel very American which is not a problem for their sports boats because most of their competitors in that area of the market are American but in the same way as US cars don't look as cutting edge as their Euro rivals, neither do Searay boats. Like most US boats, their hulls are optimised for accomodation rather the seakeeping or speed and their prices are not as cheap in the Euro market as the $ exchange rate would suggest
