restoration

Hi everyone. 1st post. So I have some questions about an 81' Searay Amberjack 25.5 with the 260 murcrusier I'm purchasing from a friend. Quick overview. Friend was selling the boat and a Trailer for a deal too good to pass up even if I put some money in. Checked her out today and she needs...

This is my newest project, I got my work cut out for me. She’s not in too bad of condition, the deck is soft but not rottenn, the stringers and still in good condition, all the fabric and vinyl are gone or going. The engine hasn’t been started in 15 years. All the teak wood needs to be cleaned...

Just bought a 1978 240 SDB and I am looking for a shop manual, but am having no luck. Can anyone help? The boat needs a bit of restoration and I thought it would be a good idea to know where everything is supposed to go and how everything is supposed to work. Thanks

I can get a FREE 27ft 1987 Sea Ray 268 Sundancer. It has title, low hours, and hull is in great shape. Mechanically, it has 2 Mercruisers that aren't getting fuel. My brother-in-law had an older Sundancer for 4 years that he sold recently for more than he purchased so it's peaked my interest...

Here's a link to a video showing the restoration...http://youtu.be/eOPCdO1SBuo I'd post more photos here but I think you need to be a rocket scientist to figure out an efficient way to upload photos to this website :wink:

I am re-upholstering the entire cabin of a 1988 Sorrent 25, expected 3 year project. I need to find out how to remove the entire galley, cabinet, and electrical panel. I have removed L-brackets in the refridge compartment but cannot locate how the lower cabinets and countertop are mounted to...

Last summer my son bought his first boat, a 1986 Boston Whaler 11 Super Sport. It has a 1985 20hp Evinrude outboard with power tilt and tele-flex steering. Our winter project, is a father / son project, to restore this classic. Spring will come soon, we have our work cut out for us. I will...

As many of you know I am replacing the stringers alongside the water tank hold due to extensive rot. See my restoration thread HERE I noticed that the existing stringers have a 1/2" gap between the hull and stringer. I was wondering if anyone knows the reason for this? Does it allow the...

Hello everyone, I have been busy restoring my 2002 340, and have been wondering just where Sea Ray put the Galvanic Isolator. My parts manual shows it on the forward engine room bulkhead, just to starboard of the main 12 VDC breaker panel. But I don't have one there.... Did Sea Ray install...

Hello everyone, I have started a blog to chronicle the restoration of my 340 Sundancer. I would be interested in knowing what you think, and in any ideas you may have. Please see: http://searay340restoration.blogspot.com/ I hope it becomes helpful to other Sea Ray owners.

And the fun begins, how bout Blue instead of Red? Boat has not seen water other than rain in over a year. Any one have advice on what is going to have to happen to the engines to wake them up? Tips on changing boots? Bottom Paint?

Hello everyone. I am new here, just learning my way around. I am about to fully restore a 2002 340 with no power. The engine room will be completely stripped, refinished, and then rigged from scratch. It should be a fun journey!

We are located about 60 miles NE from Houston, Texas & just joined Club Sea Ray. We hope to meet other members that appreciate the beauty of the older Sea Ray boats & gain knowledge from their restorations. We purchased our Sea Ray in January 2008 & are in the process of a total interior...
