Below are photos of our first trip in our "new" (and first) boat, a 1995 SeaRay 175. We purchased it the end of June, 2006 and have spent the last month cleaning, waxing, replacing parts, mechanical work and other basic maintenance before we got it in the water. To see photos of the "restoration", click here.
We took it by trailer to the local marina about two miles away and took it upriver on the St. Mary's (a river off the lower Potomac in Southern Maryland) to check out our house from the water (pictured below). We went further upriver, then turned back and down into St. Inigoes Creek and then back out and returned to the marina. It was a bit choppy (for the first time out!) with a good bit of wind, but a blast nonetheless. Can't wait to do it again!
