Just bought a new to me Sea Ray and got her all cleaned up today. We took it out on the water and it did great, other than I got roasted like a lobster :grin:

I'm the 3rd owner of the boat, and the previous owner is my boss who had owned it since '94. He still had all the original manuals, and a sales brochure for the seville lineup from '85. It's been very well taken care of, and will hopefully last me a long time.

Nice looking boat, Looks like it was always stored inside. What motor does it have?

Yeah, it has always been stored and still will be!

It's just the little 2.5 mercruiser. Not a speed demon by any means but is still a ton of fun. Runs about 39 mph with just two of us on decent waters.

I'm thinking about getting a bimini top for it, just not sure how it would look on it.

your boat almost matches your mustang color wise
 
Matt, it is a pretty close color to the 'stang, lol. Good thing I like that color!
 
Welcome aboard. Looks like a very well cared for boat.
 
Fixed the sig! Lol.

We just went to Indian Lake this saturday, we were out there for about 6 hours. It's not the best, but is only about 30 minutes from us so it is convenient.

I'm sure we'll be looking around for lots of places to go though!

I think it's going to be a great first boat, and have already had a lot of compliments on the cleanliness when we had it out.

Before you buy a bimini look in the stern storage area. I accidentally found that that compartment has a hinge across athe back and when I opened it - voila - there was the "soft cover" described in the brochure. Since you have the hardware on the windshield sides maybe you still have the cover/bimini.
 
congrats on a truely great buy !! that boat looks sweet.. just a little tlc on the teak and you will be good as new !!! BTW I would love to see a picture of the engine
