1997 Sea Ray 175 Bowrider — turnkey day boat with modern upgrades, ready for the lake.
I've kept this classic Sea Ray well-cared-for and it shows. The compact 17.5-foot fiberglass hull is easy to trailer and launch, and it seats up to 8 guests comfortably. Back-to-back pilot and navigator seats convert into sun pads, and there's storage under the seats, in the bow, and a giant ski locker. A walkthrough windshield, bimini top, and swim platform round out the layout nicely.
