Hi there, nice boat!
This is my one here down under in New Zealand. I bought it a little while back, from an 'old timer'. She has been garaged all her life so is in top condition.
With the 4.3 LX, it will sit on 3000 rpm @ 28-30 mph all day without a hitch. and tops out at around 48.
it is good 'all rounder' boat. We do alot of fishing and even overnighting with two little kids. A bit cramped but alot of fun.
The hull is a moderate vee so to make up for that use plenty of bow down on the trim tabs if you have them when it is choppy. That will smooth out the ride. Other than that it is a beamy and stable boat that is fun to drive.
Feel free to ask any questions.

Thank you! Your boats look nice also. I'm getting the bellows replaced on it now and can't wait to get some better weather to take it out.

Good advice!! I did buy the bearing and will be replacing it since I will have it all apart.

I had one as well, a 200CC. The wood floor was getting soft when we sold it, had it for 9 years. It was a great boat for us.

[ I have 6 years of fun with my Sea Ray 200, she has got a 5 litre mercruiser & goes like the wind (50MPH) Hi five prop gets her straight up on the plane she has the big sunpad at the back which is a nice sociable layout & had it all retrimmed last year. Unfortunately she has to go now because I have bought a 2001 260 with 7.4 MPI which arrives in 6 days :smt038 ! ! ! The 200 is up for £5995 and located in Dorset (England) If anyone interested ??? :huh:
