Got another question for you guys. We're thinking about another car loan & after talking with the bank I found out our credit score, which I am very happy with, no problems there. Now I'm sitting here thinking that I would like to see a credit score report to see if there's anything on it that...

I thought I would put this out to the club in case anybody's looking. I just listed the old teak swim platform/step on eBay that came off our boat. Earlier this year I made a new swim platform for our SRV195 & don't need the old one. I figure it's still good for somebody who might be in need...

Hey guys need some advice. We have always taken our taxes to an accountant to have them done. Over the years it's gotten more & more expensive to do this & this year it's gonna cost us $125 to have them done there, which is too much for us. Things are tight. We are regular people, I work a...

There's a text message going around (we just got it) that says Tide brand detergent mail samples are laced with anthrax. This text was forwared a ton of times so people are obviously freaking out about it. Everything on Tides website says it's a hoax & just a rumor that some idiots started...

Just curious if there's any Iowa boaters out there. Obviously we're not enjoying the water right now (unless you like ice fishing) but if you're from Iowa speak up & tell us where you do you boating! We live in SW Iowa & live about 10 minutes from Lake Icaria where we do our boating. Rathbun...

I know it's not the classifieds but I want as many people to see this as possible. We are going to try & sell our 1979 SRV195 closed bow boat with around 680 hours on it. I've done a ton a work to it & it is in very good shape. Mercruiser V8 runs very strong. I have the ORIGINAL bimini top...

Hey guys. I've been thinking about trying to sell our boat for some time now & kept from doing it thinking we might start using it more. I've decided today to go ahead with it. We are a family of 3 & it seems like nobody ever wants to go out on it, the weather isn't right, or the...

Hey guys I need some advice. I work in a small town as a mechanic at the local (only) equipment rental store. I have been there for over 3 years & it just isn't for me anymore & hasn't been for about a year now. Originally I thought I would someday be a part owner of it, but things have changed...

Hey everybody. Just completed constructing our new swim platform & thought I would share the results. Our '79 SRV195 originally came with a small teak platform & it just wasn't big enough & was looking pretty worn. For the longest time I tried thinking of a material to make a new platform out of...

Hey guys, Just finished my dash redo project & thought I would share the results. I got a brand new set of 7 Teleflex Lido gauges off eBay for our old 79 SRV195. The tach has a built in lcd hour meter so I had an extra hole left over. I made the cover/plug out of oak & stained /poly'd. The dash...

Hey guys, I have just purchased a brand new set of Teleflex Lido gauges for our '79 SRV195. They look awesome but I didn't realize the set came with a volt gauge & I have the old amp gauge in the boat. Teleflex Marine says the volt gauge can't be used in place of the amp gauge and to contact...

Hey guys, I have a 1979 SRV195 or V195. I know most other SeaRays have a designation of Weekender, Cuddy, Runabout, etc. I am also aware that our is just called a SRV or V195 and that it really doesn't have a particular name. Here's my question, can anybody tell me which designation ours might...

Hey guys. Been a while since my last post, but it was a long winter & I'm back into the boating mood. I have a question concerning the reverse interrupter switch in my 1979 SRV195. It has the Mercruiser 260 w/ the Mercruiser 260 type 1 outdrive. My wife & I just took it for it's first cruise of...

Hi everybody. I am considering selling my 1979 SRV195 & was wondering if anybody knew a good web resource for finding out the value of boats. I know NADA has this feature & have looked at it, but I would rather use a true boat service to find out the value of it. Love the boat, but just don't...

Was wondering if anybody has used anything other than teak oil on their boats. I was thinking about using clear polyuerthane to make it shiny for good, but a guy told me that teak is naturally oily and the polyurethane might not stick and start to peel off, he sugested boiled linseed oil. Any...

Was wondering if anybody could help me out. I'm new to this boating thing so bear w/ me. This summer we bought a 1979 Sea Ray SRV195. I see most models have a name like Weekender, Bowrider, etc. I can't find any info for what this boat might be called, not even at Sea Ray.com/archives. This is a...

Hello, I just joined today and just wanted to say thanks for the response I got. I am still learning to find my way around so be patient w/ me. Can anybody tell me how to get mt pic's uploaded? I had some people want to see pic's of our boat and when I try to upload it tells me it failed. I...

Hello, just signed up & thought I would introduce myself. My name is Chris & we live in S.W. Iowa. We are new to the boating world & have recently purchased a 1979 SRV195. I turn wrenches at a local equipment rental yard so if anybody has an ol' goat like mine give me a shout!
