Classic Sea Ray - Help me identify!

[zquimby2012]

Hi everyone, I just purchased an older 1960’s Sea Ray boat. I’m hoping someone on here is able to help me identify some information about this specific hull and engine. I believe it’s a 1969, and know it’s a Model 700 at 16’ 6”. Can anyone confirm the year? Everything I have found online is for boats manufactured after 1972. Is there anything else y’all could share with me based on the attached pictures? I purchased it from the granddaughter of the original owner, and it’s completely original! Thanks!

God lookin' boat. By guessing the ser # 77369, it would be the 3rd boat in the 77 series built 1969. Just guessing though. I am certain someone on here will have the right answer.

Take a look at Fiberglassics,com They have brochures for 1969 Sea Rays in their Glassics library. https://www.fiberglassics.com/library/index.php?title=Sea_Ray

Thank you! This is very helpful and informative. Based on the brochures, it appears I have a 1962 700 Deluxe with a 1964 Johnson 75HP outboard.

Sea Ray themselves might be able to help you. They were pleasant and helpful for me with my '81 a few years ago. There's a Contact Us form on their site.

Thanks! Unfortunately, due to the age they had very limited information.

Ah that's a shame. Sometimes you get lucky and some old timer who remembers the serial number scheme or whatever you wanted gets an answer to you. Hope you figure it out. And she's a beautiful boat too!
