Hi guys, brand new member here. I bought a 1985 Sea Nymph this past spring and, now doing some rehab. Just wanted to say the info on here is priceless! Also the boat came with a file folder containing the original brochure, wiring diagrams, etc. if any of you are interested. I will try to figure out the picture thing soon.

High ball,

Welcome to this most excellent site. Soon you will have some very great peoples responding and you will be rewarded with their expertise and genuine desire to help. If I can help at all would be pleased to do so. There is a small, but powerful, handsome, intelligent, contingent of SN owners that you can rely on. Of course, I would be one of them.....oh boy.

Just a warning though, you will get hints or nudges about drinking cool aid and or hotel california so that is all I can say. Just be carefull as the Iboats void is huge and the water is warm.

You have the absolute right spot!

We feel deprived if newbies don't post pics of their boat... let's see what you have and what you've done to it, and maybe what else you plan to do to it.

Re: Fm161 1985

We love Sea Nymph boats... I happen to own "one" (which is in quotes, because it was only in the water once for a couple of hours before I ripped it apart...)....

As stated, we also love pics... and the mob will light torches and hunt you down without them...

Welcome to the madness that is the iboats drydock... At first you might feel like you have stepped into the Star Wars cantina scene (see below), but you'll feel right at home with us freaks after awhile:


P.S. that's me at about :25 waiving you in (begrudgingly) even without pics.

Wow, not even a complimentary new guy bye of a 6hr window before the mob piles in & wrecks his joint.......

StarWars to the Mississippi upside down table 'boat' ~ Quite the gauntlet....


Often the natives aren't this restless right off at the get go. They'll let you cut your teeth for a bit before they go all sideways in your thread..............

Welcome to iboats Train........ It often goes that way, not that I've ever had a hand in it, so now you know.... It's all up from here......:D

Jas & Pmc are both doing great work w/ their SN's, so read thru them soon. Then some of the ^^^ crazy above will make more sense..

MC Hammer pants & fuzzy slippers :rolleyes:

Open a photobucket acct & you can paste the IMG
Code: 
 into your thread, that way the pix show up nice & big.

Easier for the older folks to see 'em..  You can decide for yourself which fella's make up that group :laugh:

Looks like a great start for a tear-down & a redo.........

Have you checked your transom wood?

Yes I did. The wood has been replaced and is in great shape. Problem is, its treated! Already tore it out. Marine ply on the way.
Man, that stuff sure eats that aluminum!

Good man! You have done your homework. I really like the boat... Can't wait to see it come back together.

P.S. Thanks for posting the Sea Nymph catalogue. That was good viewing/entertainment. They really had a high budget on their photo shoots ("Hey Billy Bob, why don't you and your brother Jim Tom take this here rig out into the swamp with your tackle box and act like your-ah flar (fly) fishing. Here's a vest you can wear too").

P.S.S. I really like the upside down steering console...although it might be hard to see if you leave it like that...:joyous:
