Launched my new to me 1997 230 BR.

Well after a VERY long winter I was finally able to pick up my new to me 230BR. It has the 7.4l/B3 combination. I was out with the previous owner and was absolutely thrilled with the boat it hit 55MPH (GPS) at WOT and cruised nicely at 35MPH at 3200rpm.

I have to replace the radio and give it a good buffing as it does have some dock rash but for a boat that is 17 years old it looks and handles great.

I am sure I will have some questions about maintaining this boat. Radio recommendations are welcome.

Here are some photos from today.

Man I do love the lines of those older SR's. That is one gorgeous boat, but I must admit to being just a bit partial to the boats from the mid-90's.
