Sea Ray owner from Germany

[Andre]

hi
My name is Andre, I'm sitting in Germany and just buyed a SeaRay SRV 190 from 1973, with the 250CUI inline 6 Mercruiser 165HP and Alpha One GenI drive. My english isn't the best, so don't judge me
I've grown up on Boats, my father ever had offshore boats. Now he drives a 38' Cigarette Top Gun, and I now just bought my first own boat. We have an Upholstery here in Germany, so thats what I've learned, and i learned in a Bodyshop, dont know the right word, is is Coatchbuilding?
So the SRV190 is in Restauration, i will open a threat with some pics. I'm always searching for parts and info about the boat, so maybe anyone can help?

Welcome... Were will you be boating? I have relatives in southern Germany...

I'm living directly to a lake wich is connected to the rhine River. so I have just 5 meters to the water, on the lake it's 5km/h, rhine is no speed limit. There we're boating. My father is more the offshore freak, driving a 38 TopGun, so no speed limit is great

We call that "no wake" zone... Where I live it is about 1/2 a mile of "No Wake" to the open water with no speed limits. We are on salt water, which means everything rusts and we have to paint our bottoms with copper infused paint...
