I am very close to purchasing a 2005 Sundancer 340. One of the issues is the control of the windlass. The motor in the anchor system works fine but the controller is busted. And something about they don’t make parts for this anymore and so the fix is pretty expensive. Anybody have any idea what...
Sorry, I am in Louisville KY. Primarily will be on Ohio River and Kentucky Lake. I completely understand where you’re coming from on making decisions. I have a budget of $30,000 to make boat upgrades. The vast majority of that will be on electronics.
I am very close to purchasing a 2005 Sundance 340. It has zero electronic upgrades. I am new to this size boat. My current boat is a 180 sport. Not considering cost what electronics would you recommend to make this as easy as possible? Navigation, operation, entertainment etc.
Like what’s the difference between the boat here and this listing? $20,000 in price is a lot for the same boat.

Cause I don’t know shit. I would feel much better with an experienced set of eyes looking at it and setting up survey and such. To recommend upgrades. Frankly, whether or not it’s a good deal. Otherwise I am apt to just write this guy a check tomorrow.
I have some preliminary info on this boat. It’s a 2005 340. The engines are Twin 8.1 Horizon sv drives. 875 hours. Generator is Koehler 5.0 with 525 hours. I have no idea if these are good engines or generator or if it’s a lot of hours or a little hours
He is going to check it out and see what’s there. I’ve already given you all the information I have about the boat. He’s going to go see what features it has what the specs are etc. if it’s something that I think I might actually want to buy then I will have a proper survey done.
Thank you to everyone who answered. I found a local broker to help me out. Actually found a local 340 that’s for sale he’s going to check it out for me.
I also realized I want this to be as easy and idiot proof as possible. So I am going to likely add top of the line electronics to accomplish...
i would go by water to the Ohio river. If I took to Kentucky Lake instead I would do the same. Kentucky Lake connects to the Mississippi River and the Tennessee waterway whatever it’s called.
Thanks for the reply. Time on board will be primarily weekend day trips around River. Friends and family on board. A few overnight or weekend trips but staying local. Maybe once a year pilot it to Kentucky lake. Figure three days there, four days on lake and three back.
I know there is a...
I currently have a small Sea Ray 180 sport. I live in Louisville, KY and we take it out on the Ohio. Have lots of fun with it. But... I am always seeing these larger boats and I want one so bad. Very interested in another Sea Ray. There are so many though. Looked at all the Sundancer's 330-410...
