Thanks Chris, I appreciate it. Not the same obviously, but gives me a good idea of what's in front of me. I'm guessing the screws have pulled out from pounding......hopefully I can find a few of the pullouts and go back in with oversized screws. Thanks again.
Hello, can't seem to find any info here. Some of the cabin ceiling panels in my 2000 340 Sundancer have pulled away from whatever keeps them attached to the overhead. The ceiling speaker and light area, just as you get to the bottom of the cabin stairs, can be moved up and down 3/4" or so. Where...
Used a milwaukee right angle grinder with a 4" cut-off blade, finished with a jigsaw at the corners. The floor is like maybe 1/2 balsa with about 1/8 of glass on either side, so close to 3/4 thick. Cut real easy with the cut-off blade.
Results of a project some of you may be interested in. Wanted better access to back side of the 454's, so.......frame welded of 1X1X1/8 angle (316 SST), welded in a 3/4X3/16 lip, glued in 1/4 black rubber gasket, 1/2" starboard hatch screwed in place. Now I can get to all the goodies behind...
Still doesn't give me enough room for what I want. Call me anal, but I want a lot of access !!! As for performance numbers.....I've only tried WOT one time, 6 adults on board, full fuel, calm seas....GPS was showing 47 knots. Don't want to think about what the fuel consumption was !!! As for...
It should grant me at least enough access to access the back of the engines for coupler lube, extinguisher access, cable routing, etc. If not, I'll jam one of my kids down there !!
Gotchya---couldn't figure out how to get my question out to the right audience, so I picked a few. This sight, which I've been on for a while now, is not always that easy to
figure out !!!
I'm making an access hatch to install in the "trunk" of our Amberjack 290 to access the back of the engines. Twin 454's leave no room for getting back there. Has anyone out there done this? I've got room to install a 14X36 hatch no problem. I don't see any structural issues...it looks like...

Just closed on a 2000 290 Amberjack with twin 454's. Anyone know where I can get a transom bench/cushion assembly ??? Mine was missing at purchase (Repo boat !!!)
Thanks all. Looked at another 1989 280----beautiful shape, but the owner told me it cruised comfortably at 14 knots and about 30 WOT. Too much of a pig for me. I think I'll limit my looking to twin V-8's. Thanks for all the input.
We're looking to buy a 1989 280 Sundancer with twin 4.3, 185 HP I/O's. Can anyone tell me what the cruising speed would be on this, meaning speed at 32-3400 RPM. The broker is saying 25-30 MPH, but I'm skeptical. Thanks.
