Hey, the next few days look really nice around here. So, this Sea Ray might go for just one last joy ride before "the green mile". :becky:

Don't forget the drain plug on the swan song joy ride.
We wouldn't want water getting to the stringers, transom or deck, now would we? :faint2:

Might want to ask EZ to look into a name change for your new favorite smiley: :becky: {it's Becky by the way } No reason to give the Admiral un-needed ammo....


Glad that Processing station sign came in handy, I figured you'd get some use out of it...

Congrats on having them come to you for processing. That's so much easier then hunting them down, getting them road ready & dragging them back........

For a long term project, there sure is a lot of activity going on over your way, in 2 different threads no less. Nice work all around..

Happy Thursday!!!!!

Ironic. I just saw a searay on craigslist in the Midland area and thought that would be worth looking at for Jason. Guess I was correct.

Well done on the glasser...

Another one bites the dust... :drum:

Oh boy a Sea Ray! Those really squeal when you put the banjo music on and come at them masked with a saw.

Better get that sucker winterized before too long, don't want any cold snaps to ruin the donor organs.

Course all that was fluff so far, here's what this boat was really dragged here for!

SEI replacement drive with a new prop, recent impeller, seals, bellows, bearing service...

And then under the hood...

Little rust here and there but looks good over all and runs awesome (the little I've seen anyway).

SCORE!!!

Are you gonna splash her if the weather holds for a few days? Don't get itchy! Should be lotsa power after it flies to the Islander.

Really nice donor boat, looks to be a pretty good trailer as well and lots of nice parts.

Re: 1983 26' Starcraft Sportfisherman 261V Rebuild

I like looking at the motor, out/drive and the trailer but every time I look at the boat I get itchy Great find Jason, looking forward to the video of the test hop.

Wow - Looks like Santa came early with all those toys. Nice updates for the beast.

Re: 1983 26' Starcraft Sportfisherman 261V Rebuild

So it the SR a late 80's - 90ish model? I would think that should be about the price break for a good bottom feeding price anyway.

Re: 1983 26' Starcraft Sportfisherman 261V Rebuild

Super find on the 5.7 Jason; Lotsa other goodies too. That should move the big girl along very nice.

Re: 1983 26' Starcraft Sportfisherman 261V Rebuild

Nice find there Jason! Some really slick parts to pull off that glasser too.... windshield, grab handles, etc etc! Wonder what kind of gas tank that has in it!!!
