Hi, Just bought my first boat, a 84 Sea Ray project:smt100, and I'm not sure what I have. The Michigan title says it's 20'7", and it looks very similar to online pics of a 84 Monaco 207 open bow. But mine is a closed bow with a couple of hatches covering access to a few carpeted cubby holes...

Hi Brian, I just bought a 84 SRV200 that's a project. I live down in Waterford and I've been watching Craig's List a lot for parts. There's quite a few places up and down the east side that have repos, parts boats, and project boats. I saw one listed recently that was a twin to mine in much...

Ahoy! I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Sea Rays, and I finally became an owner of one. It's a 1984 SRV200. The upholstery is pretty much shot and the floor needs some tlc too. But most importantly, the Mercruiser 228 does not yet run. She's got good compression, and in order to...
