I have a 1966 Sea Ray 700 runabout and a 1965 Larson All American 176 runabout, both classics and great boats, each powered by Merc's

Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

New to me, 1983 Galaxy Excutive 200 IO, 898 Merc, I tell ya that 305 "moves" it down the water.

Slowly making it the way I like it (safe), new starter, battery, cables, connectors, fuel pump, sparkplugs, wires, cap, rotor, nav & anchor lighting.

Did all that last Sat, what a job, I got to know the boat "real well".

Pulled the old Loran C set up out, replaced new fish/depth finder. Having the top redone this week, hope it's done by the weekend.

So O/T I'm looking at the Lowrance LVR-250, just wondering how to hook up a GPS to it and what GPS model will work good.

Hard to say exactly how old my boat is as it seems to age continually and in perpetuity.

Hi Guys:

I am the proud owner of a 1976 Grew/Slickcraft ss215 cuddy. Over the past several years I've re-done almost everything. So I guess she's 34 years old.

Not that old, compared to most here. I do like to keep them shinny.

Our 2755 doesn't have much left of the original when she was made, just the fidge & two tables but I have an idea for a galley project for next winter.
