Identify a Sea Ray Seville

[thetowerofpower]

Hello friends, I would like to know from someone more experienced than me which model is this Sea Ray Seville. The seller calls it "Seville Rio" but I found nothing online about this model. It should be a 19ft. (5,80m).
And I don't even understand if the modification to mount an outboard was done later, because the models seen on the net they all have the inboard engine. thanks a lot. Greetings from Italy.

The outboard models are much less common, and most outboard versions were bow riders. I've never seen a closed deck version so that could be a Seville Rio

Typical late 80's Sea Ray other than as was said most were open bow. Way under powered as most 19's come with 175 or 200 V6 motors.

How long, should be 18 foot 8 inches, this hull was produced from 1988 to 1991. These came with a Mercury 135 horse v-6 outboard. They were introduced after Brunswick (who owned Mercury) purchased Sea Ray. In 1988, the engines were painted white with little Sea Ray emblems, 1989 was Mariner grey with Sea Ray emblems, 1990 on, the engines were all Merc black. Came with a stainless prop and topped out about 50. Sometime around 1991, Sea Ray came out with what they called the 190 Ski Ray, same boat with a 175 Merc. I have an original 1988 Sea Ray brochure, it shows mostly bowriders, but also closed bow, but nowhere does the name Rio ever show up. I currently have 3 of these, one 16 footer and two 18 footers, love these boats and there use of space. All were called Sevilles, 160 OB and 180 OB's

Sorry, see you are in Italy, 5.68 meters long, 2.28 meter beam weighs 1,021kg.

Thanks a lot for your answers! The seller says it's 5, 80m x 2, 30m. So the weight is about 1000 kg? Can you tell me the behavior at sea even with light waves? I would like to mount a 6 inline tower of power 115. Do you think it's a good combination? Really thanks. Frank

The specs came right off a 1988 factory brochure. When I purchased my blue 1989 it came with a 90 horse Merc inline six and it was pretty much a dog, the engine was replaced with a 1972 Merc 140 horse inline six, the boat now runs in the low 40 mph range, runs pretty good. I don't have much of an idea how these boats would behave in the ocean, all of my boating is on TVA lakes like Cumberland, Dale Hollow and the Ohio River. I have been caught in some big storms and came thru just fine. What's wrong with the 115 Yamaha that's already on it??? Good luck
