Well they Sundancer 260 wasnt doing it for me so i went and bought a Regal Ventura 8.3 SE 27ft open bow. i think my Sea Ray is just underpowered for the things i want to do. this regal has a 454 twin prop on it and it goes 50 mph in rough lake water. The sundancer is for sale now for 6500 obo

Changed the oil 4 times to get all the water out of the block. Never knew how much the boat techs charged for that till now. Over a hundred bucks an oil change. Wow! Took it to my shop and did it myself and saved hundreds!
Good reading right there. Thanks. I am gonna take off the lower unit first and inspec further but I can see a crack from the drain on up and the lower unit pulled away from the transom a little at top. Also was thinking of using my buddies CNC plasma cutter and making some reinforcement plate to...

Sorry for bringing this back but I'm new here and thought this is a funny thread. I said in my newbie post that I always had ski boats but bought a pontoon last year for the first time. I liked it but missed the speed of a real boat. The one thing I did like doin though was when a big boat went...
sorry if my post didn't make sense last night. Had a few beers. Is it possible the previous owner took out the unit just leaving the speakers behind? Guess to find out for sure is to do what u said and follow the speaker wires to see where they end up.
Importing right after a ufc fight so..... But can't tell u what gauge wire it would be. Do u already have a head unit or not?? Ifnot where is ur controls for sound coming from? Then we can go from there. U might have a home type system. Post a pic where u turn the volume up
