Bought my first Sea Ray last fall 280 DA. The only time I had her out was for the sea trial. Needless to say it'd been a long winter.Can't wait to get her in the Water. Hello Put-N-Bay!

FirstClass that's a great story. Getting on plane in a snow storm is excellent!!!

Thanks Quint ... I will look for the breaker and hand crank. I appreciate the advise.

Great.... Thank you for the info.

Is there any trick in operating the windless? I never had one before and for most of the time it will be just me and my wife...is it really that simple just hit the button and up comes the anchor... or is there some maneuvering involved. Sound like a stupid question but as I mentioned I never...

Thanks. She will be docked at Blue Water.

That sounds like a lot of fun. Would you be kind enough to let me know when and where. That would be awesome.

Thanks guys for the good wishes.

It took a little while but I finally got the boat I've been searching for. Found her at the Cedar Point in water boat show. Did my due diligence sea trial,survey,some negotiating, and winter storage. The bad news is it's going to be a long winter before I can get her back in the water. I will be...

Finally pulled the trigger on a 2007 280da. I'm glad the search is over. I feel great about my decision as well as the boat.The only downside is that I have to wait till Spring to take her out. One of those deals you can't pass up. So now it's time to learn about the in and outs of the boat and...

Jason.... I'm pretty sure it was gelcoat and not paint. I will double check though. Thanks for brining that up.

Good to hear that your not in a washing machine on the back deck. Yes the bottom is painted so that shouldn't be a problem. I hope the sea trial goes well. Anything else I should be aware of or ask about that you guys found out the hard way? Thanks for everyone's feedback.

I'm staring to feel better about this whole thing.....lol. Some of you have also mentioned the blow hole on the the swim platform...no big deal?. Are your family and friends getting soaked while anchored.I apologize for all the questions but I don't know of a better way to get answers other than...

Thanks guys on the twins. I thought that would be enough power it's just nice to hear it confirmed. The gelcoat on the other hand does have me concerned. I'm worried about oxidation I know they have come a long way but nothing would look worse than black gelcoat turning white. If a lot of work...

Thanks Gerry. What are your thoughts on the twin 220's. Enough power? I appreciate your feedback. Thanks again.
