I just purchased a 1978 Sea Ray as a project boat. I am wondering if anyone would happen to know what model this is. The registration does not say.

It looks like a 26' or 24' SRV.

The more I look at it I think its a 240. It has a single engine. I pretty sure the 260 came with twins only except the sundancer but this is definitely not a sundancer.

Registration says 25’?
 
Its more than likely the 240 SRV. They didn't make a 25' sea ray back in 78'. 240 and 260 are the closest they made that year. They could be counting the swim platform.
 
This is from the 1979 model year catalogue...looks like the SRV 260 without the updated hull window View attachment 87197
Mine does not have a stove and only a single engine compartment. She didn’t run when I bought her but I put in a new starter and cleaned the carburator new plugs, wires cap and rotor and she turned right over and ran smooth. Gel coat is good, nothing a good wet sanding and detailing can’t fix. Once I’m sure she’s seaworthy I will be putting her up for sale.
