I have one from a 1978 srv300. it sis great shape, I have a custom hmade table to replace it.

I restored my 1978 weekender, complete. One thing I overlooked was the ruddersupports. With inboards it is important the rudders are supported or the may not track true. I found my rubber supports where rotted right through and it has always been a fresh water boat. the packing was allowing alot...

I did the same thing to mine two years ago, its worth all of it!!!!

I sure do like my straight inboards with carbureted 350’s. The more I read the more I remember why I was shopping for the simple world….
