2013 Sundancer 58. Looking to find 10 lens covers for cockpit lights. Boat spent five years down south and these covers have yellowed. I don’t know where to source them thanks.
Chad,
I am leaning towards the cats, 3406E simply for one reason, displacement. If anything I have learned over the years is bigger displacement, lower horsepower equals longevity. These newer diesels that approach or go beyond 1hp/1ci have short lives and are handgrenads! On a different note...
We are on Lake Huron so no real fishing up here. Maybe a little drift fishing for lake trout, boat goes to fast in gear to troll for salmon. So I would say that we just cruise. The Hat is a fantastic sea boat, I have run it in 8' head seas and not spilled my coffee. However I have yet to buy...
Tim,
You are absolutely correct that's why I am looking for a 6 or 7yr old boat. Also it is a buyers market right now and somebody else's loss is my gain. I know i shouldn't say this on a Sea Ray site but a Hatteras does and will hold its value a lot longer than most boats. The couple that want...
Yes Matt it is a 53C. The admiral really doesn't want me to sell it because it is a beautiful boat. 892's majored in 04, new awlgrip in 2002, new half tower with EZ2CY in 02 and all new interior last year. Its just a lot of work keeping it up and I thought with a newer boat less headaches and...
OK I guess I am going to have to do a little more in depth research as to fuel burn on these engines. If what Pirate says is correct, 44 verus 89 GPH that is huge! I am not a big speed freak by any means. As a matter of fact I spend most of my crusing time at hull speed, 9.5knts and get 1MPG...
Excellent replies so far, and if the truth be known I do prefer the cat's over the Cummings. The 3406E is a very reliable engine. I do all my own maintenance and repairs now. I am not to familiar with the new electronic or common rail diesels but I am willing to learn. It took me a few years to...
I just joined the forum last week. As I explained in my first post I am just starting my research into a new(to me) Dancer. I am interested in a 54 early 2000. We would like to start with these models because of the mid-cabin masters. I am also assuming that most of these boats have the Cummings...
Hello all,
Just joined yesterday. I am not currently a Sea Ray owner but have had three in the past, two dancers and a SB all in the mid to upper 30's. My dock mate just got a 50 dancer (06) and I have been spending some time on the boat with him assisting in his docking practice. I currently...
