2009 Sea Ray 290 Sundeck
Engines
496
Hey guys, new Sea Ray owner and new to the forum, picked up a 2009 sundeck with the 496 B3. Browsed through the forum and website and others and cant find any talk about the 290 sundeck. I see 240-260-270 but no 290. They recently brought the 290 back and IMO its beautiful.

My question is are there any 290 sundeck owners on here?
 
Ill have to dig up some more pictures but for a 2009 its very clean, excited for summer!

Im looking into SeaDek, its a little pricey from a dealer but imo worth it, ive read alot about guys going with the China stuff for cheap, any luck with that? Does it stay stuck?

I am hearing reports of the cheap Ebay/Chinese EVA foam failing. I would probably go with original Seadek or Gatorstep.
 
Nice boat! I really like those big Sundecks. They would be a perfect dayboat

Congrats.

We have a new 290 OB. Love the boat!

The old 290 is an awesome boat. The new 290 is more like the old 270.
Welcome aboard.

We have a 2007 290 SLX. great boat lots of room very stable, high freeboard
 
The 290 OB is beautiful, congrats!! I come from freshwater, but my father has always had OB's so I'm naturally drawn to them it just wasn't feasible going new at this point.

The older 290, does anyone know the heritage? I was told they quit making them as it wasn't selling bc the SD290 9' beam is a permitted load and most 1/2ton trucks in 2005-2010 couldn't tow that much weight so it made it an odd size.
 
Enjoy - we have an '08 - great boat and setup for all types of fun.
 
Are there any other threads dedicated to the 280-290 SD?

Just ordered ours (2019 SDX 290) so joining the group - I have been trying to find an official thread, but no luck. If I can't by the time the boat is delivered (end of April) I will see about creating one.
 
Hey all, thinking of a 2015 290 sundeck. How is it in chop? Like open Bay and even ocean?
 
we got the 2018 290 SDX OB last fall. really happy with it. Rides well and much smoother than my Dancer in the Chesapeake Bay. Great response when throttled and all the kids and grandkids fit easily.
Had a lot or wiring issues with the offshore power and inverter. My dealer ended up re doing it all basically. Other than that and now the engine recall, so far its great.
