Here is something you do not find too often.
This is my boat here down under in New Zealand .I bought it a little while back, from an 'old timer'. She has been garaged all her life and has been babied which is why she is in tiptop condition for her age.
A 1990 200 Cuddy with only 430 hrs of use since new. I could not believe it when I sea trailed it. The owner says 'oh and I have the original Bimini Top and road cover somewhere but it has never been used. Sure enough, I checked the covers out, they are the original 'Great Lakes' covers with the dates of October ,89 printed on them, never been used, (he likes the sun and never used the road cover as the boat ramp is 50 yards from his front gate.)
The launching ropes where perfectly coiled, batteries on charge etc. He would fire up the engine once a week even if not using it. It should be in a Sea Ray Museum.
Powered by a 4.3 LX, she’s' got enough grunt to keep me happy and will sit on 3000 rpm @ 28-30 mph all day without a hitch.
We do alot of overnighting even with two little kids. A bit cramped but alot of fun. Plenty of good cruising grounds here in the Hauraki Gulf.
Hope you enjoy the pics.
