    Slipping in salt water

    I checked the Cowessett website and they don't show any rack storage. Too bad that would be a solution.

    Slipping in salt water

    Thanks all for the feedback. I am going to look for a 260-280 Sundancer over the next few months. All I need to do now is find one that has been well cared for so I can continue to maintain and enjoy it. Looking at early to mid 2000s.

    Right now we are leaning towards Brewers in Portsmouth or Warwick. We love Wickford too but it is a much longer drive from my house.

    I feel a little better hearing that with proper care and maintenance I may be okay.

    Slipping in salt water

    I am looking to move from trailer boating into a 260-280 Sundancer by the start of the 2016 season. Our slip would be in the Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island from late April until October. I have concerns about leaving a stern drive boat in salt water. What is the life expectancy if left in...

    I would definitely want the full higher profile camper top. I think the 2003 and newer all have the radar arch and the top attaches to it and is pretty tall. AC is a nice to have in New England but not needed most nights. We stay often on the cuddy and a small fan is adequate. My wife and I...

    First post. Hello

    Wow I am surprised at how many owners feel the 260 will be too small. I was thinking that it would be a huge step up from "camping" in our cuddy and get us into the marina lifestyle economically. I spoke to a guy who stays with his friend 3 nights in a row often and he felt he used his boat...

    I was not aware that 280s were built with singles. I will do some research on them. Thanks

    First post. Hello

    Thanks for the words of wisdom Shawn. The reason I was drawn to the 260 is the single engine and it lower cost to own and operate versus twins on a 28 footer. I like that the 260 has a good sized holding tank and decent fresh water supply versus the porta potti and hand pump sink on my cuddy...

    Hello Sea Ray owners. I am currently the owner of a 22 foot Monterey sports cruiser who boats in the Narragansett Bay and the coastal waters of Rhode Island and Massachusetts. My wife and I overnight quite a bit in our little cuddy and love every minute of it We currently trailer and...
