Unofficial Classic 1970’s vintage SRV180 thread

View attachment 88714 Its rough. The seats have been upholstered but do not match at all and the seats are completely wrong and hideous. Her and i will be reupholstering it this winter in a nice classic red.
She still looks good matching or otherwise. I envy all of you that have a Bimini top I’m dreading sourcing one for mine. I’m debating getting one custom built through a friend but still $$ so hard to find original parts
 
I’m looking for my next boat. I sold mine back in April because I moved from fresh to salt water and couldn’t bear watching her corrode. So I sold her to a guy in WI.
I’d like to find an outboard powered model which will be better for salt.
 
Finally had the opportunity to get mine out on a local waterway yesterday. After draining and cleaning the fuel tank, installing an inline fuel filter/water separator, rebuilding and tuning the carbs on the '88 Merc, she's running like new again.

Next up will be installing a GPS speedometer and replacing the prop, as it is currently over-propped a bit.
