Upgraded! Got me a new boat..

[tlgreen22]

Well, new to me anyway! I had a 93 Sea Ray 180 bowrider with the 4.3 Merc/Alpha I and it was an awesome performing boat. After much thinking and consideration I decided to sell it and upgrade. I wanted something more "fiberglass" oriented I guess you could say, less wood is better in my opinion. After alot of shopping I lucked out and found me another Sea Ray locally. Ended up with this 2000 Sea Ray 185 in excellent condition. Here's some pics I took after cleaning it up...whatcha think?

EDIT: In the 3rd pic, I've noticed this random tube that looks like it attached to whatever that is on the lower right hand corner of the back of the boat. Any ideas on what it could be? I thought it might be the transducer for the depth finder but it doesnt contain any wires. Also, the speedo doesnt register so I thought it had something to do with it but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

speedometer. Probably got something stuck in it, disconnect it and blow air through it.

That's what I was thinking but it's actually broke off so I don't know what it looks like or what its even called so I can look for a replacement. Wonder if it's a dealer only item?

Tube connects to the outdrive to power the speemometer, there is not a separate pickup like with older boats.

I'm not sure what it used to look like but this is what it looks like now

There's also a small hole in the knife edge bottom part of the foot which is what i thought was where the speedo registered but idk
