Hello,
I'm looking to purchase a 240 or 260 Sundancer and keep it in the water at the marina year round. I am in Washington State, Puget Sound waters. Our winters are usually very wet and occasionally gets below freezing, but not often and long enough for freezing salt water. My intention to leave the boat in the water year round is to be able to enjoy the boat during the few nice winter days we do get. I'm already thinking about dehumidifiers, fans etc to help with moisture in the cabin. Since this is my first cruiser type boat, i'm curious what other things may need to be done like winterization of the fresh water tanks/lines etc. Can we use the head during the cold months if we take it out for a spin? Those kind of questions i'm curious about. Thanks in advance for any input.
