Its a 1998 Sea Ray 180. I put my DIY tower from my old boat. Its got 4 alpine type-s speakers in the cans and some stock clarions in the boat. Powered by a crappy wal mart amp but i can hear the music fine while im riding.
I put a 17p high five prop on it, makes hole shots super easy and holds speed amazing. Its great with the small 3.0 engine cause of all the low end torque.
I have 275lbs of sand in the ski locker and a 400 lb ballast bag in the bow walkway. I also keep a 100 lb duffle bag of sand in the boat to adjust weight.
I love the clean graphics, got it completely debadged and i just put the name on the back and the oakley stickers on the side. I named it "My Girl's Toy II" cause my old boat was "My Girl's Toy" and it was a speculation for me to buy the boat that i had to name it that so my fiance would be happy. _________________ Lake Shelbyville, IL |

Looking good. I bet that prop does make a huge difference. We had the 3.0 in our Bayliner and it always struggled. _________________ If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular? |

I've been meaning to take some new photos of her for this thread, but haven't got around to it. Here's a few of my 2008 SeaRay 205 Sport with factory tower.
The day we picked it up from the dealer.
Had to try out the board rack.

Did some spending this week, bought some new popup cleats for the back of the boat so the rope doesnt get caught on it anymore. i also bought a light bar from diywake.com and found some nice bullet lights at wal mart to use on it, they light the whole boat up really well. im pretty happy with it. here are some pics

YYa it does, i like the angle that they are at, having tue boards parallel with the boat looks strange imo and at that angle they are easy to take off the rax. _________________ Lake Shelbyville, IL |

Yeah, i blew the head gasket. That happends when you have 1700lbs of ballast and people in a 3.0
I have an 1100 lb limit now so it doesnt happen again. _________________ Lake Shelbyville, IL |
