I saw some other models starting threads out there so here is a thread for us 200SD owners. It helps to have others with the same ride as you to bounce things off of.
 
Good deal cpditty.....Count me in.
There aren't many of us so we gotta stick together
 
Weave, have you done anything with your cooler to make it work better in the space it is in, solving the problem of opening the lid without taking the entire cooler out?

HA !!!! AWESOME!!!!!!:smt038:smt038
You have ESP man. My wife an I were just talking about this the other day. If it were a bit wider in aisle it would work perfect but I HATE pulling it all the way out and sideways to open it.
Problem solved!!!! Great idea! I think I have a project tonight!!!!
 
Anyone else do any handy mods on similar boats?
Cpditty...did you silicone the old screw holes???
 
My boat is a 2005 Sun Deck 200. We spent five days traveling Western Lake Huron (Southern part) No problems and had great weather.
 
Yes, weave I did silicone the old holes and siliconed around the screws also. Keep up the chatter guys. I love hearing things about our boat on here.
 
Has anyone replaced the cooler in the cooler compartment? I would like a five day cooler in there but am not sure of the size. The stock one is severely inadequate.
 
Nothinhg here. Would be nice if we could make use of the area under the starboard step on the stern where the door is.
Doubt a large cooler would fit there though. What about mounting smoething in the port side storage area ????
Do you leave the potti in there?
 
Has anyone found a good place for a grill? Since the 200 Sundeck has no rails or rod holder poles, I am at a loss as to where a grill would go. Any ideas ?

On the beach. :smt043

Seriously, I don't know anyone that's found, used and been happy with a grill on any "day boat". We've used the swim platform to set a grill on (with soaked towels under it) and that worked for brief and simple grilling, but not worth the hassle.

The nice fancy ones with mounts, usually sound better and look better in the ads than they do on your boat. Friends have one but gave up on it mounting where it could be used.
 
I have a friend who has an 18' Maxxum and he mounted his on the out side of his swim platform. The mounting piece that Magma sells is too short but he fabbed a taller one that works sweet......
He honstly has one of the better set-up's I have seen
 
Thanks for the tips. I too am nervous about grilling over the swim platform. I was hoping there was some easy way to have one that would hang over the side. I guess beer and sandwiches are just as good as beer and burgers !
 
Take a look at the Cobb grill. That's the name brand. Got ours at West Marine and have only used it once, but were pleased. Is a small charcoal grill that is totally contained and vented and you can sit it anywhere and the outside does not get hot! Is versitile-you can buy a griddle for it to enable you to do more than grilling. Cuts out on having to figure out mounting and is perfect for 2-4 people.
 
pbblair....the way my buddy's is mounted you are not over the platform. you actually are near the edge.
He mounted it with the same fear you mention
 
What is the risk of grilling on deck if you are using a small propane grill? I am a firefighter and thinking other than grease drippings am not seeing the hazzard.
