Fresh "not stock" 454, Velvet Drive, TR outdrive.
Ahoy CSR,
After many years of wanting but substituting lesser craft, I finally got my first SeaRay and love it, first full season, albeit short.
Well maintained older Sundancer that needed some tinkering but all the projects are at dock or on the water tasks which is awesome. Doing a few bigger projects while she's in the barn for the cold sleep.
Had some questions arise and this forum always pops up as the best source to get them answered.
Figured it was time to 'get on board' ....so to speak.

Here's my girl.....

Congratulations and welcome to CSR!
 
Welcome.. enjoy her!
 
Looks to be in great shape. Welcome!
 
Excellent. Looks sharp.

Once you start your projects ..... think of starting a thread dedicated to your craft and update as necessary.

I linked mine in the signature area .... that way all your DIY's are in one spot.

As the others said....welcome aboard.

Where y'all from, and where do you do your boating?

.....still need to finish up my profile I guess.

I'm in Minnesota, Land of 10,000 fLakes and 5 months of really hard water.

Keep the boat on the Mississippi, in Hastings just upstream of the confluence with the St Croix.

Live out in the boondocks west of the Twin Cities and have a few smaller vessels for the lakes near me.

An old Sleekcraft Kauai Jet boat is one of my favorites along with some vintage tin boats.

Love your sig line.:)

Oooooh look, a banner add for t*tty bar.....I'm gonna like this place.

My buddy kept a 26' Tiara at your neighbor the Ahhhfton Mahrinaah ahnd Yaaacht Club from 2015-17.
We got called to the principals office once.....not my cup of tea as far as dockage.
Windmill seemed way better.
Had use of his tub whenever I wanted and that's what got me twitchin' for a bigger boat (my cabin) on the river.

Thanks Joey
Good thing too, it's my first wide body and docks cringe in terror when they see me coming or going.
 
I can relate to what you're saying. I went from a 20' open bow boat to a 330 Sundancer. My docks cried every time I got near them. It took a couple of months of me wiping their tears (and mine) before I could dock it without any mishaps.

"the Ahhhfton Mahrinaah ahnd Yaaacht Club from 2015-17."
Love the description. I know the type and I wouldn't belong to that type of club either. Ours is kind of a polar opposite from that white slacks and blue blazers type of club.
 
Welcome to the club... Can’t wait to see some additional pictures of your boat it looks really nice...
 
454 with a TR drive. Simplest and most rugged outdrive system ever made. I think they stopped production because they would never make money selling parts. The said they stopped production due to space limitations.
