    Agree with Henry. And for the record, my 2002 320DA was Smartcraft capable, but rigged with analog gauges. I added the Smartcraft SC1000 gauges in 2007, and added a SC5000 a few years ago. Original motors.

    Boat handling in strong wind

    Sounds more like you don't know what you are talking about. Have you run a mid 30 foot twin inboard boat? One with prop pockets? I have, for the last 11 years. What Frank said is a real thing. These boats will weathervane and it can be real challenge in tight quarters. If you are still running...

    2017 Season Picture and Video thread

    Agreed. That's a sure way to draw blue lights from our on water LEOs (state, county or coasties) where we boat. For good reason, I might add. Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk

    Heading South for a couple of weeks, What to do and see in the VA/MD area.

    I would avoid Herrington Harbor South until later in the season at least. A dock mate was there a couple of weeks ago and the on-site restaurant / bar is still not open following a major renovation with new operators. Near the mouth of the Bay, consider Cape Charles on the eastern shore of VA...

    Official 320 Dancer Thread

    This is a terrible idea. The 320DA is already stern heavy. We have a Mercury airdeck dinghy with a 6hp outboard (~150# for the pair) and it does impact performance. I ended up adding 100 lbs of ballast to the bow under the forward berth. It's redneck and doesn't help with fuel burn but it does...

    Yes, it should pull out more than that, and yes, it makes up into a nice berth for taller folks. Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk

    2002 320 Sea Ray Sundancer Question

    The 2002 320DA was a mid year introduction as the 310DA was also still available. The 320DA was pretty much unchanged from 2002 until it was discontinued. The differences are things like available hull colors, helm electronics, Smartcraft instrumentation and cabin stuff like flatscreen TVs and...

    Official 320 Dancer Thread

    2002 was the first year for the "new" 320. The 340 didn't get the same revision until 2003. There are only minor differences between the various years, things like microwaves, TV's, and helm electronics. Also at some point the Westerbeke gensets were replaced by Kohler's​.

    Who Has Added Smartcraft to their Engines?

    I did this years ago myself, mostly with parts cobbled together from eBay. Routing the cables up from the engine compartment to the helm is pretty simple. Pull the plastic pocket that is outboard the helm area (this is where a drink holder and a speaker are located, down by your feet when you...

    UHD, SUHD, Flat, Curved? What's best?

    Look at the LG OLED TV's. They are amazing and somewhat future proof. Go see them in person. Fantastic viewing angles and true blacks. Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk

    How could both engines be running hot? 320DA

    If the screens are missing, it sees more likely your heat exchanger is full of goo from cooked sea nettles.
