    Wanted - Trim Ring

    I am trying to locate a exterior portlight trim ring for my 1987 SDA. One of the rings on the forward portlight is cracked. Original owner tried to glue it back together with 5200 and made a mess. I tried to remove the ring and it came off in pieces. Fortunately, the portlight is still water...

    Low Oil Pressure

    In answer to TBird's question, I wasn't sure what weight oil was used as I purchased the boat recently. I just used what the manual recommended. The pressure drops after the engine warms up. It doesn't seem to matter how many RPM's the engine is running at, as far as I could tell. That is...

    Low Oil Pressure

    Need some advice from the group...since changing the oil in my port engine (Mercruiser 454) The oil pressure tends to drop to around 25 after the engine warms up. It will occasionally go up above 30 and then drop back down to around 25, for no apparent reason. However, the engine seems to still...

    want to redo interior

    We have done some updates to our 1987 Sundancer. These photo's on this post gave me some ideas that were great. New fabric and new benches were made and we changed the shape of our cushions but my favorite part was redoing my table. I used the same formica table top but covered it with slate and...

    Recommendations from Houston Area CSR Members

    We are in Houston and are purchasing our first Sear Ray - an 34' Sundancer (1987). Do any Houstonian's have any recommendations on Marine Surveyors - preferably one you used and were happy with. Or even who to avoid. Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

    Sundancer vs. Express Cruiser

    That is what I thought...just wanted to verify this. The boat we are purchasing has an a double berth below the helm area. All of the pictures of Express Cruisers that I saw had an entry to the salon in the center of the boat. This boat has the salon entry on the port side. This is good news...

    Sundancer vs. Express Cruiser

    I am looking at a boat that is being advertised by a 3rd party as being an Express Cruiser (it is a 1987). I was looking at photos of other '87 Express Cruisers on Yachtworld.com and was confused by the layout I saw. What is the difference between the Express Cruiser and the Sundancer?

    Greetings all! We are taking the Sea Ray "plunge" (should I even use that word on a boating forum?). We hope to be aboard a very clean 34' Sundancer in the next couple of weeks. Stumbled across this cool forum and thought that we should just "get our feet wet" with everyone. Looks like we'll...
