I see quite a few 06-07 260 DA with 200-300 hours in the $35K-$45K price range, some with 496 most with the 350. Any concerns buying a boat that old with those relatively lower hours? Taking into consideration though also ones that are in lakes and not in saltwater more attractive- im lookng...

hey guys what you think of the 2006/2007 260 DA, if less than 300 hours, how concerned would you be of the older year? I mean looks thats the most boat you can buy wiht $35-$45K?

im looking at quite a few 2006 260 sundancers, they can be had for $37K-$45K with 200-300 hours, some have generators too, and 5.7 or 496. Thoughts? although old in year being a 2006, if its 300 hours or less, is its a low risk from a maintenance side? As far as the cabin- its hard to tell...

thanks! Yeah you know, i see so many people buying campers and camping- so im looking at it the same way. I heard the 260s dont handle well and need alot of trim tab adjusting. I really love both boats but the 280 looks special. Has the grill, one motor, freshwater boat- but damn $70K for a...

That’s what I’m saying ! We go to shore now and pay 250-300 night , I can pay that on gas instead and be able to crisis around ..

That’s insane - i so don’t want the maintenance of double motors though my dad was avid boater we had so much fun going off of Long Island ... he said when other guys were buying new coverttes I bought a boat and we had fun memories he was so right

Were you nervous and gunshy before pulling the trigger on your first boat? I been wanting one for years, and now just realizing how much fun and experiences it can bring to a family. We typically NJ shore hop every weekend in the summer - and i just watch the boats go by and want to be on one...

it has the 8.1 seems to be optioned nice except doesnt have the teak floors i love. Would you guys go with a 2015 260 or this (older 2010 280). Sometims i think why waste money but honestly we live so below our means, modest home, and we spend alot of money on vacations and going to the shore...

it has the 8.1, i tried looking up reviews/ testing for it specifically but couldn't find anything I really like it has one engine, and even if its closer to the older 260 size, its still a 28 length boat yes? Andim sure the cabin is larger than the 260?

Trailering is the X factor I wouldn’t worry bout it and just have it stored at marina if choice during season and worst case get it shipped home off season and covered up. I won’t be hauling it around

Thanks I’m just really torn over a newer 2016 or a 7 year older 280?? and I keep taking notes but the biggest boat you can afford because you always want to move up. so does the idea of staying on boat for a Short weekend get away make sense and is more fun vs spending 300 A Night at a hotel...

Hey guys So my wife, daughter and I love spending weekends to the shore, we spend so much money on hotels, and honestly I’m always on beach looking at the boaters go by and miss that when my dad took us when we were little on his Would staying on a 280 be more comfortable than a 260 over a...

Hey guys What are your thoughts on this listing? https://www.yachtworld.com/boats/2010/sea-ray-280-sundancer-3570597/ for the same money I can go with a newer 2015/16 260... with same or less hours ... but was wanting for a weekend get away use so roomier cabin and overall space was in mind

Thanks Alvin. We have a 5 yo so it would be 3, plus 2-3 more people. Is 6 too crowded? How do you like it. Its my first boat, again seems for 30K its a great value. We would use it for just off shore cruising, nothing major. Would be nice to go up the hudson see the city at night etc.

I dont think power will be concern, it has the 5.7. I looked at pics of the seating set up, and it looks like 5 would be the most to be comfortable. The 260 looks more open to 7 ish? The price is enticing. I found a 260 with 190 hours, gen, and 6.2L, clean, no bottom paint asking $47K plus...
