1967 SRV 230 Sea Ray Restoration

[ZoomDFW]

I thought I would share my restoration project with fellow Sea Ray enthusiasts. I ran across this "beauty" while looking at some property in Dallas. It was uncovered and sitting under an old oak tree.
Finally after about a year of asking about it, the owner finally say.."if you want it, and will haul it off and fix it up, you can have it for free" I got the boat in April of 2013, been working on it for a year and it will be out of the motor shop and ready to launch April 1st. 2014.
Needless to say I'm very excited and proud of all the work that has gone into it. Won't be another one like it at the lake, that's for sure!

I will follow up with more pics, as I'm noticing that its hard to add pics to the thread.

Wow, that is rough. But will be so worth it when done. As for posting pictures I upload them to photobucket then copy and paste the links here and the pictures show up. I know I am dyeing to see pictures of what you did and what the old classic looks like now!

Don't tease us Man!! Get them pictures posted. Congrats for saving another classic. From one classic owner to an other, welcome aboard.

Hope the restoration went well, I like all the others here love older Sea Ray boats, as you can tell by my sig pic and the previously owned list. Also I would love to see photos of your project.

Might concidure using photbucket if you have a lot of pictures

I would love to post more pics, as its very close to completed, but every time i try to down load pics ob this site it says I'm over my data limit. I think they want you to be a gold member and pay 50 bucks to be able to post pics. Not sure, so if you know a way around the system to post pics I would be more than interested in it, so you guys could see the work been done.
