New member needing help

[Guest]

Hi guys,
I Just bought me a classic that needs lots of work. It's an '81 SRV 245 Sedan Bridge. I would really like to find someone or somewhere that i can get some detailed pictures. I'm going to have to fabricate some of the pieces and i need to see some original pics, only problem is i cant find any.
I wrote to SeaRay and got no response, Ive spent hours seaching the internet and not a picture to be found. I'd even settle for '82 pics at this point , please HELP!!!

Here's a link to the 1981 Brochure from Sea Ray's archive:

and the owner's manual:

Unfortunately, it looks like the parts manuals only go back to 1989. Good luck, looks like a cool boat.

That boat is really neat with the dual helm station. Really opens up the cabin space. Bet it could be a popular boat. Looks better than some of SRs "new designs". Looks like its got real horns too! Not sure about the gold tufted apolstery though :wink:

Jetmac, looks like it will be a great project.

The boat looks great. I really like the wood accents and the old school lines, but I'm with waterlogged and not a big fan of the apolstery.

Oh, I also just noticed that the new SR's when back to the oval designed logo. And I thoght this whole time that the oval was new.

Yes, it does have some cool lines. I already tried the Sea Ray archive and there is the one pic of my boat , but no details that im needing are visible in that shot.
BTW the gold tuffed upholstery will be going, it is the dual helm (that was an option) and it has twin engine 485's. At this point i'm starting to think this might be a rare configuation.
Does anyone know the difference between the 485 and the 470 besides the 15hp?
