Got them installed this weekend. Thanks!

Seems unlikely. Are you sure you have the swim step? Can you post pictures? Did you look behind a pull down cover (that's where it is on my 2018)?

They don't have any at the dealer. I think I might have found them online. Ordered to see if they work https://www.wwhardware.com/sugatsune-pc-m2h-panel-clip-self-tapping-male-heavy-duty

No that isn’t the same one.

On my 2018 280 SLX I had 3 of the 4 clips that hold the panel to the arch break off (see pic) and I need to replace them. First, anyone know where to get them? Second, anyone know how they come out (pull, twist, etc)?

I've searched, but not coming up with any results (maybe user error?). Is there not an official thread for the SLX 280?

Yeah, I'm very interested to check it out still. I'm just surprised by the actual numbers. I would have expected a more substantial difference in the numbers. Thanks for the input.

Interesting. Thanks. So it looks like maybe the swim deck is a bit shorter on the 270 (some of the difference). Still surprised that a boat which should be 5 feet longer by naming convention is really only 3 feet longer...

I currently have a 2004 220SD and am considering buying a 2003 270SD because my growing family needs some extra room. I am going to look at the 270 tonight, but in doing some research I'm a bit confused. The Sea Ray spec sheet for the two boats say: 2004 220: Overall length with integrated...

I wanted to update this. I got word back from the adjuster, they have worked through the quote and are issuing a check for $13,971.70 (total cost of $14,471.79 less my $500 deductible). Work to start immediately. Thank goodness they didn't total the boat (I have an agreed upon value policy of...

I bet you are right. Is that standard on all Bravo 3’s or just a subset of them? In other words could some not have the second pickup in the nose of the bullet?

That is helpful. Which model was this put on?

Oh I know I need a new drive along with other things. But there seems to be a discrepancy on which one will work. I believe there are potentially different ratios in the B3? Maybe different models? I don’t know? Anyone know? The boat is at the shop so I don’t have access to it right now...

I hadn't either, but that was how he distinguished it... Pics added so you can feel my pain.

Had a bad boating weekend last weekend. Hit a submerged floating log doing about 30 and had catastrophic outdrive failure. No one hurt and zero fiberglass damage visible. Completely broke the top section of the drive away from the part that connects to the actual boat, cracked the cylinder...
