Hey guys, my Dad was the original owner of this 1969 Sea Ray SRV185 with Mercruiser Sterndrive. He spent the last few years of his life doing a decent restoration of it, but passed away about a year ago, and although we're boat people, it's not our kind of boat as we're wakeboard and wakesurf people.
So, although it has sentimental value, and I spent some great times working with him on it's annual tune-up, waxing, learning about old engines, learning to captain a boat, etc, it won't get any use, and it's time to pass it along to someone that can appreciate and enjoy it.
We'll be putting it up for sale in the late Spring when more people are actually shopping for boats, but I have no idea what it's worth and thought you guys might be able to provide some guidance.
The floor has been replaced, the fiberglass is in decent shape (some marks on the bottom), the interior is in great shape and we just had some new rear cushions made, has a stainless steel prop and planing wing. Engine runs really well - shifting from Neutral to drive or reverse isn't perfect as it's a little abrupt, but works. Dad had a custom drawer console made for the front, and installed a stereo with cool locking face plate in the dash. The aluminum trailer was brand new just a couple years ago. The boat has never been run in anything but fresh water. It was winterized for the "winter" of 2019/2020 (oil changed, cylinders fogged, fuel stabilized, etc) and hasn't been run since, but I'd give it a tune-up before putting it up for sale.
Here are some pics and thanks for any guidance. It's located in SC near Clemson University.
