TOPIC: 1972 Sea Ray SRV 190 anybody have one?

I have measured the boat I recently bought and using that and the 1972 brochure determined this is a 1972 Sea Ray SRV 190. I have found a thread on the Sea Ray Club Forum with the same boat but the pics aren't very good. I left this question on their forum too. What I hope someone might have are some photos of what the interior is supposed to look like. I have a copy of the 1972 brochure and I can tell from that that previous owners made some changes. I would like to restore it to it's original look. In particular the engine cover is totally different on my boat.

So anybody have one of theses?

If memory serves me, Heather did a couple of SeaRays Ike, I believe one of them was an SRV190 (for a customer) but I don't remember what year it was. She has some great videos posted of the restoration on her website:
spookeaymarine.info/videos.htm
She may be able to help.

I saw you joined up on CSR
a good contact on there would be "Old Skool"
he is pretty slick on the older ones

Heather used to be fairly regular over there but has been MIA for a couple months

i have seen on facebook,that heather has recently gotten into restoring great old bicycles.
i sure miss her posts on the houseboat,i really liked that thing.john

i have a 72 srv 200 that is all original,gellcoat,seats,carpet,hardware,mooring cover,convertable top,and drivetrain.(455 olds/berkley jet) i will put a couple of pics up. the rear seating and motor cover are different dimensions than yours because of the width of the motor. if there is anything special you need to see,let me know.

Thanks Mark, The videos at Spookeay Marine are great, and it is an SRV 190.

Thanks for the photos, talltales. That boat has the same color scheme as mine so it was good to see what it's supposed to look like.

Well I tossed out the seats. They were so rotten it isn't worth rebuilding them. I'll buy some new ones.

I recently have started the same journey to restore a 1972 srv-190 . Where are you in your project? I too need the whole interior. What a job . I need it all full of wet carpet and mold . Oh boy here we go !

You have replied to a post that is nine years old.

Go to the top of this page and on the left side in black tab there is a "search". click on that and put in Ike's name and it probably will come up with most if not all of his posts. Some of them might include his rebuild.
If I remember correctly this past spring he had an issue with someone/something crashing into the boat and doing damage, he also had issues with his drive which put him out of commission for some time. but he is still contributing important information on boat safety and regulations.

If you want to see what I did with this boat go to my website at newboatbuilders.com/pages/SeaRay190.html

Yes, it got hit. This winter I'll have a new drive (well, new to me) installed and get the windshield reinstalled and the cracked fiberglass repaired.
