Last weekend I purchased a 1996 Sea Ray 175, 3.0 GM, with Mercrusier alpha
1 drive. I gave $4750 for it and it is in like new condition, with all service records. I would like to thank everyone here for their advice, on purchase of a used boat. My only question is, did not have hour meter, but could not be many with the condition of the boat. Will send pics, after I take the wife and grand daughter out this weekend.

In that condition with service records.....your $4750 was money well spent. Have fun with it. My uncle has a '95 175 with the 3.0. It has been used HARD since new (primarily watersports) and has been a great boat.

C`mon post pictures as soon as possible...... What a great deal, sounds good for that price. I bought a 1993 SSV190 Glastron for $5,000.00 .

Not all boats come with hour meter(s).

Good deal on a nice boat. Have fun!
