Hey everyone! Thank you for the continued support on this video, it was one of the first videos I ever made. Be sure to check out the rest of the channel for more boat reviews and if you happen to have a boat in SoCal, I would love to make a video on it!
The 510 is a beautiful yacht. A friend has a 2018. It's gorgeous HOWEVER the issue is the Zeus pods. He's had problems with them and Mercury no longer manufactures them. Why? Too many problems. I had a Sea Ray 470 and the Zeus pods were a nightmare and very costly to maintain and replace - I paid $20k to replace a port side pod and another $8k to replace the power steering seals on both pods. And when that happens you limp back on one motor. The seals are a big issue. And yes I did all the annual maintenance with a certified Zeus mechanic so it wasn't because they weren't properly maintained. Again, beautiful yacht but I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole because of the pods. I understand they make a version with V drives. I sold my 470 and bought an older 520 with V drives.
Always a shame to see peoples seasons ruined by external factors, in this case bad designs. Because of covid, supply chain issues, and two faulty crank shafts, my boat sat on the hard for two years to get an engine replaced 15 hours after it was re-built. Warranty only covered the cost of a new block and not cost to cut open boat and re-gelcoat the hull.
@@sharonbraselton3135 That's not the normal configuration. Sea Ray only made a handful with V drives. The boat in this video has Mercury pod drives. The issue is that Mercury is no longer in the pod drive business which means finding parts will eventually become an issue.
Some advice , don't do close ups of a door etc. We want to see the whole experience, not to just see things close up. It really gives us no point of view
Appreciate it Pheebs. This was my first video I ever filmed! Feel free to check out some others. I made adjustments to a wide angle lens after this video.
Nice video - love the layout of the Sea Ray, but those the Zeus Pods are terrible! Too expensive to maintain and they do fail. The drives also decrease the value in the boat.
Many of your statements sound like they are questions due to your voice inflection. The way that we deliver words is actually just as important as the words themselves. The inflection of your voice is a major reason why people either understand what you’re saying or walk away with the wrong idea completely. Just FYI.
Dude like you suck at this, like you should totally try your hand at used cars because you are clearly out of your league selling beautiful boats. This is definitely a beautiful sport yacht.

We had a 2012 470 with Zeus pods and they never gave us problems. Mind you we serviced them 2 times per year
Beautiful boat. By far my favorite of this line. Excellent review

Very nice boat. First time viewer. I will subscribe.
Welcome aboard!
How much
Nice video - love the layout of the Sea Ray, but those the Zeus Pods are terrible! Too expensive to maintain and they do fail. The drives also decrease the value in the boat.
newer boats, 2018 and up look more IKEA office furniture. Whereas, the early 2000 boats had a high gloss Finish and was far more elegant.
Awesome boat. Is it yours?
Maybe I'll be able to afford it in another 15 years.
You should have taken a minute to move the clutter from the fwd cabin before filming
Stern transom!??
Price pleas
Around $800k

Thanks Doug, its a new channel so growing and learning everyday! Check out some of my newer stuff. I think you will enjoy it!
@@JakeSea Will do, Sir. Thanks for the content. 👍
Furion is getting left behind on boat appliances. All you see in rv these days
Classy that they didn't take the time to hide the Tums, usb cables, and other misc garbage before the tour ... 4 out of 10.
You need camera man too close to video while opening stuff
FOR THE BAD VIEW WHILE UNDERWAY IN THE CAPTAINS CHAIR 1 STAR
When Sea Ray made great boats instead of glorified expensive bow riders like the current models.
I touch on that in an article over on thecaptainsreview.com! No more cabin cruisers for Sea Ray.
