Newbie here - 1977 SRV 220

[chuckm081357]

Hopefully a 1977 SRV 220 Overnighter will show up in my driveway later this week. Have had several boats over the years, and this will be my second Sea Ray. Ran across the boat by accident while driving through Southeast Missouri two weeks ago, truthfully I was not even looking for a boat; especially when the temperature was in the low 20's and driving through snow! It was too good to pass up. For it's age, boat is in pretty good shape. Motor (350 v-8) was replaced with a rebuilt one two years ago, but the guy only started and ran it once since then. Hopefulyl once I drain the old gas out and replace the batteries it will run.

Looking forward to a LOT of good advice on here when I go through the restoration process!

Welcome!
Good size and good year. Back in highschool I wanted a late 70's 220 (yellow). We had a '76 195 and you always want a little more...

My brother (kybishop) has a newer (82) Cuddy that size.

Hope it meets your expectations.

BTW - we're expecting pictures.

welcome...
I have a '73 SRV220 OV, in pretty good shape...seems like these '70 model rays were built fairly well.

I'm sure you'll enjoy yours as much are we are enjoying ours
