Re: Post a pic of yours.... classic/vintage or new Sea Ray
yah i streched it 5 feet...
i used to live in victoria for 10 years....i was on ckda and cfms as stephen ward. i was the one that switched ckda to the oldies format from light hits.
then went over to cfms to do the mid day show and automated the evenings and overnights.
one of my fav things to do was go to race rocks.....(quite a trip from sidney) and get real close to the sealions.....5 or 6 feet....man thoes things are huge.
once your boy gets a little older and is not as scared of the big animals run him over there.
i used to do sea reports outta pedderbay on their rental boats. so i got to see lots of stuff like that...followed a killer while it was looking for seals between pedder bay and sooke....it kept diving and surfacing for about half an hour......wow
after a while i lived on a 43 footer in toovey bay ......by 6 mile and fort rodd hill when you drive over the brigde at 6 mile.in collwood thats tooveyy bay.(beauteeeeful)
then we lost the moorage and had to move it to the industrial side of the inner haurbor...right by the johnson street bridge on the esqimalt side. still great but not as private as toovey bay.....
where are you finding the great deals on boats? i know you got that one outta the seattle area......i just ran to vegas to get a 19 foot bliner.....(bayliners are ok...but nowhere near the quality and lines of searay.)
gonna sell it in the spring and offset the cost of a new motor for the searay.
wanna go 383 stroker...see if i can get 60 mph...
you got 46 with the top up?......awesome....
btw....iffen you ever see a pool of drool around your bote....you know oops wuz there !

So you have a little history here... that's cool!
Yeah... this is a neat place for whale watching. We're about 15 minutes off a migration route (south side of north Pender) so we see whales every second time out probably. Yesterday we had a large school of porpoises swim with us for about 15 minutes... that was really neat!
I got 46 on the gps on the way in the other night but I musta' been running with the tide I guess. This weekend I was a little slower at 44.8... I have more 'stuff' on the boat now too.
It's all good... looking forward to summer!!!!
Re: Post a pic of yours.... classic/vintage or new Sea Ray
My first post ... and also my first Sea Ray. Currently at home installing a new water pump ... then back in the water for hopefully a good summer season!
1995 Sundancer 250 with just-installed new camper canvas. A larger version of my signature pic.
Re: Post a pic of yours.... classic/vintage or new Sea Ray
Picking up this 1994 Sea Ray 200 Signature. She has a 5.0L Merc and 260 hours. I must say, the boat is in PERFECT shape as far as I'm concerned.... take a look for yourself.
If anyone has any tips on how to secure cheaper insurance on her, let me know. also, this is my first boat....so if there are any tips on maintaining this boat, i'd like to know that as well..... I need and want to take excellent care of this boat as she's been taken care of perfectly for the past 14 years... I'm all smiles.....
Re: Post a pic of yours.... classic/vintage or new Sea Ray
Nice boat eyedoc. I also just bought a 1995 180 sea ray signature. It looks almost identicle except mine is dark blue in color with matching trailer. I have not had her out yet except the sea trial. I have 150 hours on meter. For previntive maintenance they say to change your lower unit oil every season along with engine oil. Most people do this along with spark plugs and distributor cap and rotor right before you winterize it. If the water pump impellar has not been changed they recommend that every couple years depending on how much you use the boat. I would also have everything that needs to be lubed or greased at the time of oil changes before winterizing. If you don't have one get a service manual, it helps out alot. Good luck with her and happy boating.

Re: Post a pic of yours.... classic/vintage or new Sea Ray
Just bought my first boat last Saturday (06-07-08). 1997 210 Bow Rider with the 5.7L MerCruiser. Second post to iBoats! I finally was able to take it out yesterday after finding a lake in southeastern Wisconsin that wasn't under temporary slow no-wake orders (other than Lake Michigan). Couldn't stop grinning!
Re: Post a pic of yours.... classic/vintage or new Sea Ray
New to the site...
Here Is our recently purchased 87 Seville. It is cleaning up well. Took her out to the lake for a shake down everything seems Great! I cant wait to go down to the shore....
Re: Post a pic of yours.... classic/vintage or new Sea Ray
Nice looking rig! ......Where about in CT are you? We are interested in heading out to the ocean there. We are in southern MA on the western half.....10 mins from CT
Re: Post a pic of yours.... classic/vintage or new Sea Ray
I didnt know there was a specific boat manfc section of iboats
Here is our boat. 2008 205 sport. 5.0 mpi (260 hp), fully loaded with sat radio, upgraded stereo with sub, monster tower (just got the bimini for the monster tower...no pics), carpet etc...
Loving it so far,and just did the 20 hr service last weekend.
Puts out a great wake for boarding, better than I anticipated and is great so far for all watersports, and of course our weekly weekend raft ups for drinking and swimming

Re: Post a pic of yours.... classic/vintage or new Sea Ray
This is my brand-spanking-new-to-me 1986 Sundancer 268.
It will be getting some much needed TLC this winter. Boat is awesome physically and mechanically, it just needs some detailing and the "little things" that make it mine.
On the fly...
At the dock...(note the brand new 52' 'Dancer in the background)
Re: Post a pic of yours.... classic/vintage or new Sea Ray
I picked this up a few weeks ago. 1974 SRV200 New carpet & seats. I was really looking for a 22' but I couldn't pass up the price of this one! I may use it for a year then upgrade. My last boat was a 30' but I didn't want to pay slip fees again so I was trying to see what the biggest boat I could get and still feel comfortable pulling around. This 20' is pretty easy, so I think I can go up a couple feet.
Re: Post a pic of yours.... classic/vintage or new Sea Ray
Thanks. Personally, I don't care for the looks of a bimini on most boats, but they're sure nice when you sitting out there in 95 degree sun.
Overton's...ran about $170.
The fabric is Sharkskin.
