I've had the boat in the water for 3 seasons and this is my forth. When I bought the boat I had it checked out at a marine shop that I've used for years. After their inspection they were amazed how dry the boat was. Transom and stringers are as sound as the day the boat was built. Even after...

Wow, that's a well kept boat. Looks like all you need to do is clean up that teak wood. Thanks for the pictures. Cheers Metabo

hey kybishop, I just noticed that it appears that your hatch is on backwards. Mine opens from the front and folds out of the way while messing with the anchor. I think there is a photo in one of my albums that shows this. Cheers, Metabo

Nice job on the hatch kybishop. The color is dead on for the hatch. The hatches on my boat are original and they are white and the boat is more of an almond color. When you teak oil the teak wood take it off the boat and give it a light sanding before you oil. I bought a can of Minwax teak...

Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything. I uncovered the old Sea Ray early this spring and began taking on some much needed to do projects. I removed all three lids from the back of the boat. Two are lids for built in ice chests and the center one was for the stowing of ropes and...

Wow! That is going to be a lot of work. I've been working on the teak wood on my searay and am thinking of redoing the carpet. I can't even imagine taking on the job you are about to do. Good luck in what ever you decide to do.

You should be able to go to a local canvas shop and have one made. That's what I did for my old SRV 220.

I have the same motor in my 1977 SRV 220 weekender I will check tomorrow (5/21/15) when it's light out and see what is on it. Metabo

Thanks everyone. The reason I want to paint is the blue color is almost gone. I have a buffer, same kind the pros use. I also have the right kind of pads and compounds. If you check out my photo bucket you will see the results that I got on the top of the boat (the off white part). The blue...

Just wondering if you can do roll and tip over gelcoat? I want to get the hull of my SRV220 looking a little better, but not a lot of money to spend right now.

What did you paint the hull with?

Can you use awlgrip below the water line. My boat is never in the water for more than a few days at a time. It is always trailer-ed to and from the water. Thanks

Take a look at my photos, they may be close to what you may have to do. Also check out the sub folders on the teak wood and gelcoat.

I would leave the compass Green until after Christmas.....lol

Hello Thom, My boat is now shrunk wrapped and I can't get you any measurements until spring. I had the camper cover made by a canvas shop. The total cost was $1600.00. I had the original camper covers, but he didn't use them to figure out the dimensions. He said they build the new covers...
