Find another marina was the answer I liked best. Either that or take the marina owner out to dinner...always works, you scratch their back and they'll ask you to park your boat out back.

Try using an epoxy paint in the bilge. If cracks appear after use you may want to get it to dealer as it would indicate strucural movement. If no cracking appears it was a cosmetic problem.

I took mine off my sundancer...same prob as the rest of the crew....visibility issue

I usually use mine with passengers on board. Once on a plane my 270 levels out nicely on her own with a 10 foot beam.

Morpheus, I got a new gateway laptop for my boat. The idea being is during the winter, usually do my route planning and interface with my lowrance GPS. My wife and I were looking to do an onboard wi fi setup that way there, we can monitor weather radar and e-mail friends to advise...

How do I check my shore power converter. The guy I bought the boat from said when he hooked up to shore power the batteries would be dead when he unhooked. This guy never left the dock much and didn't really seem all that conversant on systems. I was wondering if the place to start may be, to...

Thanks for the encouragement, I just came in from snowblowing another 6" of snow. All is not lost though, I just got my new marine vinyl to reupholster my helm seat. If I was out cruising I probably wouldn't get to do the maintenance. It does make me want winter to be over though. Time to become...

Your boat should run on a plane a lot lower than 3500rpm. My wife and I have a 270 sundancer and we are up around 2800 and cruising. Check your bottom for fouling. Do you have tabs...make sure they work...and before every tripchange the oil every four days like someone suggested. That might be a...

A friend runs his 46 footer up from atlantic city up through the sound through Cape Cod canal to Barnstable avg. trip 14 hours. w/ twin 410TI's. you want to come up vineyard sound then up Nantucket sound btwn Cape on to the Harbor...nice trip w/ great stopover points.

How do you get your boat from beacon hill to boston harbor...just kidding

Julia, Pretty much, like others have indicated there are a lot of factors. On a good day you may go from Boston outer harbor to the Gurnite light in 45 minutes. Depends on the boat. As with the slog out of Boston, coming into Plymouth your going run along browns bank to "bug light" follow...

The whole boating industry is in the same predicament. My son is an ABYC cert. boatbuilder and was laid off from Sabre yachts. They are closing their main plant, Back Cove yachts is downsizing. The Sea Ray dealer I do business with has been flat with few sales since last June...which is the case...

Many repo's I have looked at have been stripped. One guy even took the kitchen sink, props, head, pumps, everything he could physically remove. Youv'e gotta love it!

Hi gang, I am new to the site, belong to sea ray owners club and have a 270 sundancer. I have been trying to post to a number of members and keep getting logged off. What's up...

We have an '86 270 sundancer w/twin 170 alpha I I/O's. It is one heck of a boat. A buddy has the 86 268 DA with the 350 single I/o he can get up and go and it's a great boat. In Fact if you read soundings magazine from this summer they had an article on people searching around for 80's models...
