I picked up a 1978 SeaRay SRV-260 with Twin inline Chevy 6 cylinder motors and mercruiser outdrives. I've been looking around the net since I got it trying to find further details on the hull design and pictures of someone else with this particular boat. I don't know if this would be called a Weekender or by some other name.
A tour of the cabin has you enter on the port side in front of the seat, step 3 steps down and in. To the left you have the kitchnette with alcohol/electric stovetop, small sink, and cabinets above/below. To the immediate port side is the marine head and shower. Aft of the head is an aft birth that is under the cockpit. Forward is the v-birth and overhead port hole.
The cockpit flooring is completely above the twin engines at the stern, so there is no doghouse, just a lift up engine bay cover/hatch.
The engines and outdrives are still sitting at the previous owners house because I have no room to store them. The good thing is both engines have been rebuilt and bored .030, heads rebuilt with bigger valves and hardened valve seats as well as new springs/lifters. Carbueretors rebuilt, new mallory marine distributors, and everything painted up nicely. The stern drives were also rebuilt by a reputable shop in our area. New hydraulic pumps for the tilt/trim. New gauges for the instrument cluster which will have to be rebuilt.
She's an old boat that came with a lot of good parts. Her problem is a rotten transom, stringers, and the bulkheads around the fuel tank. I really want to fix her up, but fear it will be long term due to time and money. I wish I could afford to pay a shop to do the fiberglass work, then I could do everything else, just don't have $10k to do that LOL.
I like the look of this old classic and have always wanted a bigger boat like this, trailerable, with dual inboard motors. Problem is finding anything online with this exact boat with the same engines and cabin layout. I would like some details on the structural layout and how far forward the stringers actually go.
On with the pics...
