My new to me 1993 Regal Valanti 176 SE. I've been looking for a few years for the right deal. I found this on Lake Conroe. It has the 4.3 Mercruiser V6 and has been stored inside since new.
I am in the market for our first family boat. I grew up boating/skiing in the Houston Area with my best friends family which had multiple boats. We were on the water at least once a week and spent countless days on the water at Lake Livingston as teenagers in the late 80's to early 90's. We have been boating on Sam Rayburn with family a bunch this summer and we are going to be looking for a 16'-18' Open Bow with either the 3.0 or 4.3 inboard. I hope to be pulling it with our 2005 Toyota Sienna Minivan with a 3500lb towing capacity. We have 3 kids that enjoy the tube, kneeboard and waterski's. As with most families our budget is pretty limited and we are going to be looking in the $4000-$6000 range. Any words of wisdom would be great, we are thinking of waiting a little until the summer season is over so the boat prices drop a little.
hi guys, i just got the same boat and i love it so far, well taken care since came out from the factory, i'm looking to upgrade the radio, if someone can provide a way to take out the radio or open the lower panel. I don't want to break anything since is my first boat.
i tried to look for wiring manual or repair(service) manual for the boat but i only could get the user manual for the boat.
