For a 1960 original Sea Ray catalog I would pay $200. I only have a b&w copy right now. For a 1962 catalog I would pay $150. Any leads? Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

I would not. And when you double the number of motors and drives you double every headache ....no, I would take the $5000 you would spend right away (with more to spend later) and buy something that already has all the work done to it, a single engine. That's my opinion.

I liked that Sea Ray provided plenty of gauges, but this swollen overgrown "panel" had to go. It hung out into the walkway and above the top of the dash. I made my new panel with abs and it is much smaller in profile. Teak "L" trim will go on last. I found this great Sea Choice #12301 12 button...

I think these all came with the Mercruiser with 351W Ford and TR stern drive. I was leary of the TR drive but after much research and checking of mine, I feel...

The 1973 SRV240 HardTop was a great boat and for 1974 Sea Ray decided to take it up a notch. They went for a taller hardtop and added a head and a longer roof. This created room for a standup head and galley, which were on the level of the forward berth, but still open to the cockpit area which...

Amen! And the more boat on the trailer the more in my pocket. A new body of water each week sweetens the deal. The only blisters I'll worry about might be on my hand.

I think Sea Rays didn't have embossed HINs on the stern until '73 or so. There would be a plate near the helm if it's not gone. My '70 Pachanga had a plate.
