I've been away from the site for a while, out enjoying our 195 for the last few years. I finally decided to tackle the deck rot along side of the port ski locker opening that was along the edge. Well, as is common, the rot just kept going the more I dug, so I'm down to gutting the entire deck...

Hi all, been awhile. Thought I'd post some snaps of our crabbing adventures from this summer. It was a good season, lots of dungeness was cooked and consumed and the freezer is stocked for the winter. This was our first time crabbing since we moved to the PNW, so we are happy with the success...

Hi Everyone, My '79 SV 190 I/O is getting closer to getting back on the water. I finally got it home from where the previous owner was keeping it while we repaired a few items. I was fortunate in that the P/O was willing to help me get it working/running after it sat for 7-8 years. With the...

Hi everyone. I am currently looking for a set of gaffrails for my 1979 SV 190. The rails run alongside the hatches from the bow light to the windshield. Does anyone have a set for sale or know of a source or possible interchange to other models? I would like to find a latch for the bow anchor...

Hello Everyone, I'm a neebie to Club Sea Ray. I wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I am re-entering the boating world after a 30 year or so hiatus. I recently purchased a 1979 Sea Ray 195 I/O, an SV model I believe. It is in decent shape for its age, with many new items installed by the...
