Hey Everybody, My name is Sam. And I'm new to your club. I have a restoration project. As far as I know it's an 1978 bow rider 17 feet and a seville model. Engine is a 4 cyl. Here's the hull info;
E 7323
SERV 5875 D 787
17 BR 4634
The hull is in good shape, but that is about all that is in good shape, the boat was exposed to the weather for years. And yes the drain plug was not removed. So it's a mess inside. But the hull is water tight because it was holding about two feet of water inside. I drained the water, and got the trailer road able and currently it's inside of a dry garage.
As you know I'm trying to find manuals. The drive appears to be a merc. What I'm not sure of is engine I.D. I've cleaned the muck and rust off the engine trying to find an I.D. Number. Do you have an Idea of where to look? The drive is not in much better shape where can I find an I.D. Number on the drive? I have already contacted my local sea ray dealer who wasn't much help. And so far I haven't heard from sea ray corp. Does any body know of any 3rd parties or after market dealers that may have manuals.
Yeah I've got a lot of work ahead of me on this one. And I can certainly use your help, So thanks ahead of time. Sam
