hello all, i am new to CSR, however not new to boating, spent my entire life thus far on boats. i recently finished an 89 cobia spirit2 1950 resto, and a 68 alura flybridge resto, and have always wanted a searay, finally found my project boat, a one owner 78 srv240 SDB. that has been sitting in a barn for the last 25 years. the previous owner said the boat needed repowered, put it in the barn and never got to it. so now its my turn. going with a new merc. 260 5.7L. i have pressure washed the teak and seems in fairly good shape with only one trim piece on the back of the cabin needing replaced. the bridge has been taken apart by previous owner. (plywood shot) i am also removing the carpet on floors and wall, v-birth roof, and replacing it with a viynal, i have seen a few owners of this model searay, and was looking for some advice or things to lookfor on this perticular model. i have checked the stringers and all appear good except for the one going accross the back of the fuel tank however i dont believe the tank is leaking, i will be performing a pressure test on the tank to make sure. also the head has been gutted by the previous owners son, (no idea as to why) if another owner could send me a pic as to how it is supposed to look i have been unsuccessful at finding one online. again thanks in advance for any info.
