Holy batman! I’m glad no one got hurt. So sad to see nice boat get damaged. I know that feeling when you spend few years working on it and it get damaged. All the man hours gone. keep us posted if the boat will be saved or “totaled”.

Ok so if I look for sea ray Sundancer that has straight drive, it would be better cuz no transom rot from stern drive right? Or am I missing something? it looks like straight drive would be better choice, it’s less cost maintenance than stern drive and better fuel economy.

very true. No guarantees. It always a gamble. Are you handy? If there’s a minor problem on engine, can you do some repair on your own to save $$$?

I’m 5’10 , you must be over 6’ tall? That’s terrible about BUI. Glad you weren’t hurt. Yeah 268 feel small just like my 250. I’m sorry I meant 340 flybridge. Weekender doesn’t fit my need. I need aft cabin for my kids. what your opinion about straight drive vs stern drive?? And are you...

Hey boaters! I currently own 1985 Sea Ray Sundancer 250 for past 16 seasons. Last year there was fast leak thru transom where bellhousing is. I pulled the engine out and physically probe inside the engine room, I felt crackling noise and it was very soft around the bellhousing. I brought down...
