I saw one on a trailer for sale in Hopewell, VA back in April this year. very solid looking boat.
 
We have a red '76 SRV 195.
Love the yellow.
Ours is gutted right now waiting a new interior. Wish she looked like yours!
 
growing up we had a 76 190 with an outboard as well. Great boat w/140 Johnson...

I'll see if dad has some pics...
 
My first Searay was a 1976 srv190, first one on the St. Lawrence, a real sport design for its time. I have had several new ones since and now went back to a 1978 with a complete refurbish, now complete. Pictures in an other post in this section, now the canvas is done too. Enjoy the vintage boat, they still turn heads!!
 
Nice looking boat! Im new to this site and its nice to see some other owners out there....Just bought my first I/O its a 79 srv 195 w a 5.7 Merc thats been rebuilt. The hull and interior are in great shape, but the floor is rotton. Ive got it mostly gutted and found that the engine mount stringers are gone as well. I would like to try to repair without removing the engine...will post some pics of the work soon in hopes of maybe getting some advice as to the best way to fix...

I have owned several boats over the years, and must say sea rays are the best.I love the fact they put so much care into making these boats. I have a 1976 195, and it's had over 10,000 put into it recently, and that in itself tells you what kind of boat it is. They wouldnt have invested that much into a junk boat. Total refit.
Rides like a cadillac. :}

Nice! Good thing you had to take out the motor anyway huh? Otherwise you wouldn't have bumped her up some!

Ours doesn't have the burled wood trim. Interior still looks really good. Lets see what she looks like when done!
