The reason that the Optima battery is less weight is because it has less internal plate surface area. It was a great design when it first came out but advancements in AGM (absorbed glass mat) design has rendered it no longer on the top of the list. As with all batteries, the greater the...

I just traded in our 2007, Sea Ray 280 Sundancer (white hull) and the gelcoat looked as good as new. We continue to boat out of the Sassafras River (Skipjack Cove Marina) so we share the same basic water/climate conditions. You will probably get multiple opinionated replies just as this one...

I am the original owner of a low time (less than 150 hours) 2007 280DA that still has extended warranty. I would agree with what some had to say in buy a used 280 that is only several years old, has been extremely well taken care of and has had the bugs worked out which most all new boats have...

Well, after a whole bunch of investigation, the galley faucets used on the later model Sundancers are made by Grohe. I went to a local plumbing supply house in my home town of Wilmington, De this afternoon, Bell's Supply (800-284-4601) (bellsupply.com) and was able to purchase the replacement...

Where are you located on the Chesapeake? I am at Skip Jack Cove Marina on the Sassafras and have a 2007 280DA as well and had the exact same problem as you have encountered. Unfortunately, the OEM fuel filters were put on dry and overtightened. I found a filter wrench that finally worked...

I removed the entire galley faucet assembly from my 2007 280DA sundancer and have been trying, without any luck, to locate new replacement hot and cold ceramic cartidges. Any leads would be most appreciated.

Paul, Oops! make that read www.originalswiveler.com Lenny Mattos is the owner and his outfit produces an outstanding flapole (solid 316SS and a swivel system that allows a full 360 rotation of flag) and flagpole mount system (machined anodized aluminum). I will have to remember the link to...

Paul, I bought "The Swiveler" flag pole and rail mounts for both my bow rail and for the stern rail on our 07' 280DA and they look great and allow the flags to free swivel 360 degrees. You can open up the rear comaprtment with the 19" swiveler flag pole just fine without having to remove it...

SummerWind, We keep our boat, Knot Behavin' (2007 280DA ) at Skipjack Cove on the Sassafras River. We took (4) boats down to Osprey Point Marina last year for an overnight stay. The marina is a nice as they come and was reasonable. Full floating teak docks with all hook-ups ready and...

Willie, Another item to check is the 90 degree elbow drain fitting for the shower. I had the same thing taking place on our 2007 280DA. I removed the trash can, ran the shower and noticed a small leak from this fitting even though most of the water was finding its way to the sump collection...

Havin' Fun Yet?, We bought a Mercury 270 PVC Air-Deck at the Annapolis Boat show this past fall along with a 4HP Merc outboard and so far could not be happier with the package. My wife and two young daughters cruise around in it without any problems. The 270 in PVC weighs in at 74 lbs. (8'...
