    2015 290 Sundeck

    I love the big sundecks but don't know anyone who has one. I even asked awhile ago on this forum if anyone liked their 290/300 sundeck (not the newest style) and I got no responses. Good luck with the boat and let me know how you like it. Sent from my SM-N910R4 using Tapatalk

    Who else has had 2015 splash surprises ie:broken stuff that worked last year?

    Only thing that doesn't work this year that did last year is my water pump for my faucets. It runs but barely pumps any water. I've cleaned the filter and all screens and still just barely pumps. It won't build pressure either. I gotta decided to rebuild the pump or just buy a new one

    Bimini Tops at Speed

    I've always heard 45 is a good max with them up. My boat does 47 and never had s problem but I always fold it and put it in a boot for trailering.

    RI Air Show

    I'm thinking of going if i can convince the wife. I used to go every year with my parents. We would anchor off one of the near by islands. Then we moved to NH and haven't been since. Now that I've got my own boat I'd like to go down for the weekend. I just need to find a public boat ramp some...

    240 Sundeck Thread - Questions and Answers

    All I had to do was move the mounting location of the gas strut. The side mounted to the floor I moved 4 and a half inches towards the hinge and the side on the to the hatch I also moved 4 and a half inches towards the hinge. That keeps it right around straight up and off of the chair. It...

    anyone else hate how the center hatch only opens to a 45 degree angle. Well I fixed that so it opens straight up now.

    280 SS pulls to the left

    That's definitely something to try. Run just 1 engine and see what you get for speeds and different rpms. Then try the same with the other engine. That could tell you if you had a lack of power in one engine. I've never had a twin engine boat but it's a good thought. If one engine has less...

    2004 240 Sundeck Hull Measurements/Specs?

    I'm not sure on the length but bunk spacing should be the same as the stringers inside the boat. 40 inches sounds about right but don't hold me to that. If your trailer bunks are directly below your stringers you'll get the best support and have the least chance of doing any damage to your...

    DIY Shrink Wrap

    Got the gun and some shrink last year and did my 2 smaller boats no problem. This year I did my 240 sundeck and it came out great as well. I could definitely see it being tough to do on a boat with anything over an 8ft 6 inch beam.

    Potential Oil Pan Replacement

    Same problem. Replaced the engine last season and I should have put a new oil pan on but didn't. On my 240 sundeck the engine definitely has to come out.

The weather was showing rain / showers for Friday and Saturday. Now it's just showing low 70 ' s and cloudy for the...

    Not Sure About New Trailer

    When I got my trailer my boat hung about a foot off the back. I moved the winch stand forward about 10 inches and I moved the bunks back about 4 inches. Which means I have about 2 inches of bunk sticking out of the back of the boat. Now I have too much tongue weight so I'm gonna move the stand 2...
