asking $53,900 and i m guessing it could be bought for $48-50k. possibly less.

(this is not my boat) but how about a 2005 SEA RAY - 260 SUNDANCER Engine: Mercruiser 350 MAG 300HP Engine Hours: 81 SHE HAS A KOEHLER GENERATOR WITH ONLY 15 HOURS AND HEAT AND AIR!! REMOTE SPOTLIGHT, POWER WINDLASS, STEREO REMOTE, AND VHF RADIO, TRIM TABS, BIMINI TOP(NO ENCLOSURE)...

it doesnt sound like you that are unhappy with your current boat. so i say dont trade up. run your boat for a few more seasons. dont take the depreciation hit on your 1 yr old boat just to bump up hp that you conceded you only need 2x a summer....we had a 16' bowrider with a 120hp volvo for 4...

lacks of use will cause the impellers to take on a "set" that is likely to increase failure probably more so than use. also if you winterize the boat with antifreeze and do not remove the impellers they often swell from absorption of the antifreeze and will fail more quickly. find a travelling...

try heating a cup of water. even a low wattage micro should boil a room temperature water in under 2 mins.....be sure to use a micro safe cup or paper so all the energy/heat isnt transferred to the cup.

how was the boat slipped if it had no bottom paint and the bottom looked showroom new??? it doesnt make sense. was it on a lift and the lower unit left hanging in the water??

i found the threads for Scott who makes replacement panels. I already emailed him about doing a new blank and moving the gauges around to allow for a chartplotter. thanks!

i lll do a search. thanks. im thinking that gray king starboard would be a pretty close match to the plastic overhang/sunshield. i agree that doing both wood grain panels in the same material is the way to go. im surprised more people havent modified the dashes of their boats to mount...

ok, here is the actual helm station.....replacing the wood grain with white starboard is not going to look good against the colored gelcoat and lower panel with wood grain.....other suggestions?

the remote mic VHF idea is great. that way the unit can be rmeote mounted and locked up and the full featured mic can be unplugged from the dash - i assume icom and standard still make these models... ok, i m thinking of ditching 3 of the redundant gauges (drive trim, water temp and oil...

i m looking at a 2004 240 SD. the dash looks the same for the 240 SD from 2002 through 2008....actually the 220 dash is not the same for any year looking at sea ray archives...

thanks I saw a VHF install in the gallery but that is it....i have done a bunch of searches and cant find anything else....

Does anyone have any pics of installed electronics on the 220/240 dash? Or a description of units that fit and where/how you mounted them.. I was hoping to mount a vhf and possibly a combo unit or maybe just a depth unit. I find it kind of ridiculous that they give you almost no space to flush...

looking on boat trader most used price look pretty unrealistic - the MM price look cheaper than most private sales and i assume the MM boats have a short warranty and have been gone through prior to sale.....given the used boat market and the economy, i dont get these prices....

ok, how do "we" feel about $24-25k for a very clean '04 240 sundeck with 200 hrs, never bottom painted, std 260hp w/BIII, dual capt chairs, front and rear cockpit covers, two tone color, and auto halon. no trailer.
