I finally found a boat! It's a 1997 18.5ft Sea Ray 175 XL with a 4.3 V6. Older couple used it 20 hours a summer and had it winterized and de winterized religiously every year and are moving back to Europe this summer. It feels solid and is in very good shape. Plus it comes with a galvenized trailer. I got it for $5,000.  I'll post pictures when I bring her home next week!

I forgot to take pictures when I went out to inspect it. Next week I am going back out to the marina to "test drive" it before final payment is made. 
Pictures in a few days!

Am I correct to assume this thread is worthless without pics?

Spent about 2 hours cleaning up the interior today.. It had a lot of dirt and stuff since there was a storm recently and the cover blew off. Plus the previous owner had a dog and there was a lot of hair. Tomorrow Im going to start on the outside and maybe take it out for a spin.
All in all i'm very happy.

Zack,I think I am going to put a tower on it just because. lol
Anyone have any recommendations as far as tower and rope/handles go? Any idea what length I should put the rope at, or is that something I just have to decide once I start towing behind it?

ShutItDown, just get out there and feel it out. Different people may ride at different lengths, whatever feels good to you.
