Sea Ray, how rare?

[kybishop]

Anyone know much about Sea Ray boats? I have a 1976 Sea Ray 195. It is a heavy boat with a 233 HP Mercruiser. I think it is a 351 Ford, it may be a 302. I do not find much out there for this model and rarely any with the 233 HP Mercruiser. Thanks.

I have a friend who had one. Built like a tank. Knock on the sides and it felt like a concrete wall. Good riding boat. His had a 305 Chevy in it. A 351 would definitely suit it better.

351 with a 2 bbl. That boat should move. I had one with a 165 hp I6. Did pretty good.

I had the same boat.SRV 195 188 merc.302. The 233 is a 351 I believe.It should be a great boat.I had my boat in 3-5' seas and never missed a lick took it well.I had another Searay 22 Closed bow and really enjoyed it.I had to put floors in bothe but thats why I got em cheap and made good money on them.The older Searays are very dependable boats IMHO and worth the money.Would like to find A 185 with the 165 I-6 package.Anyone know of any let me know.Good luck with your boat enjoy it.
