I went to the extreme trouble (moving my desk chair 12" to the left) of finding my bill from last fall. Complete Stern drive engine r&r 6 hours $570.00 Engine coupler $95.00 (that pisses you off doesn't it?) Coupler assby $433.25 Shop supplies external $25.00 total $1123.25 Enjoy.

I had the same situation. Purchased the boat in August, took it in after 2 trips on the lake for a "once over" and they found the coupler was about to give out. OK, $1500 later (give or take $100) and the coupler was renewed. They had to pull the engine and drop the drive. My guys said...

I challenge anybody to compare brake sizes of a 2004 Expedition and a 3/4 ton or 1 ton pickup truck. I challenge anybody to compare the ring and pinion gears of a 2004 Expedition to a 3/4 ton or 1 ton pickup truck. Tranny, engine, etc. The list goes on. Sure, the man could do it, but...

NO. Simply put, you can, in all reality move that boat, at least get it started, with my John Deere 22 hp lawn mower. Getting it stopped is a different story all together. Don't forget, if you have an accident and the insurance fellas realize you've exceeded your manufacturer's towing...

Great Lakes has a website and will email you prices.

I brought our 240DA up to Powell and stored it for the summer yesterday. What a trip...blowout about 50 miles south of Flagstaff and pulled into Discount Tire with a bulge on another tire. Needless to say, $600 and 5 new tires later, I was back on the road! :grin:

We store our boat (as of next Wednesday) in Big Water and either launch at Stateline or Wahweap, whichever has better water conditions. We usually just putz around on the southern end of the lake, find a beach for the day for lunch and exploration, then head back to the marina. We usually...

I realize this is an ancient thread, but I thought I'd throw in my experiences in there in case somebody is still having questions about this process. I recently purchased a used 2001 240 Sundancer. I DID NOT have a surveyor look at it. I felt reasonably comfortable with the person I...

We'll be there twice in June and once in July and a sundry of quickie weekend trips up there. I'm bringing my boat up to Lake Powell to dry store it there next Wednesday. Anybody else going up there this summer?

We will be at Lake Powell twice in June and once in July...come join us! :grin:

Morning. My 240 has the venerable 6.2L 320hp engine coupled up with a Bravo III. I do believe this was the biggest engine and biggest drive combination that they offered in the 240, although I'm not entirely sure. I think 6.2L equates to 377 cubic inches, which is a 400 crank shoved into a...

Thanks again Mike! Believe it or not, I searched for a 240 'Dancer for 4 months because I wanted one with the elusive 6.2L in it and I wouldn't settle for anything else. Found it in Utah, drove it home, and have been anxiously awaiting summer ever since. I came from a 2003 Nordic 25...

Thanks fellas...I was suffering from withdrawals and painfully surfing automotive forums aimlessly! Good to be back chatting about boating! :wink:

240DA owner here, just jumped onto this forum. 2001, 6.2L 320hp, BravoIII, shore power, vacuflush, blah blah blah. Parking it up at Lake Powell after having it down here since I bought it used in August. Carry on. :wink:

Really late entrance here, but I finally found this place after SRO dumped me like a cheap date. Looking forward to reading, posting, and finding entertaining tidbits. Toby
