    Upgrade to 47 Sundancer

    I can't seem to copy/paste it. But I did a quick search under "SkipperBud's 43 sundancer" and it showed up under 'special's'. I will say this - I have know idea what the current owner paid for that boat but I bought it used in 2010 for about what they are asking now so there should be a lot of...

    Upgrade to 47 Sundancer

    I owned an '09 43/47 and absolutely loved the boat. Can't say anything bad about it at all. Really work hard to find one with 480's as that boat will flat out move - 39 mph WOT and a best cruise around 34 mph. One thing to keep in mind is that the sizing changed from 09-10 and the 47 is...

    380 zeus vs 480 shaft

    I had both a vdrive and a zeus boat and have lived the finger pointing - however the issue was solved and relatively stress free. My specific question is in regards to the actual performance of the boat: What does a 380 zeus cruise at and what is the range? How does that compare to a 480 shaft?

    380 zeus vs 480 shaft

    Still on the search for a new to me DA and have been looking at the 410s. It seems they either have 480s on shafts or 380s with zeus. Anyone have any info or experience regarding performance and cruise on the two? I'm looking for a comp... I want 480s with zeus but it looks like I need to...

    Shades open or closed

    I've always kept everything closed. To me the heat generated by the sun, UV glass or not will lead to humidity and mildew. I always left the account on humidity control to deal with that.

    new to me '08 44 DA

    That was her. Im a big fan of zeus but recognize the '08 is a first gen pod. If this gets serious Capt Rusty has offered to run the HIN and let me know if there have been any issues and what upgrades need to be done.

    new to me '08 44 DA

    Sorry I tried to update my signature and couldn't figure it out. The 43 DA was sold last year - somewhat of a mistake. My family used to boat in NH but bought a beach cottage in RI. No longer needing any real overnight accommodations, I thought it prudent to sell the 43/47 and downsize...

    410 with 380 Zeus performance

    Looking at a new to me 410 Zeus with 380s.... Can anyone share performance/best cruise/fuel experience?

    new to me '08 44 DA

    Taking a serious look at a new to me 44 DA. The boat is a fresh water 480 Zeus boat - but with ONLY 37 hrs! That little use over that long a period of time bothers me. And I overthinking this or are there some serious concerns I should have given diesels like to be run?
