This post is long overdue and I’m sorely in need of the advice of my fellow Sea Ray owners. Sorry it’s a little long, but I want to be thorough. Background: SEP ’09 - Purchased ‘04 260 Sundancer 350Mag B3 with verified 15 hours on engine. Boat was used in salt water, but equipped with fresh...

While cleaning my two Bravo III props yesterday I found a 3/4" crack on the trailing edge of one of them. So this morning I brought them to Bossler and Sweezey a prop reconditioning outfit in Bellport NY that was recommended by my mechanics Joe and Charlie of Southwest Marine (East Moriches...

I’ve been spending some time at my marina lately, detailing and getting to know my new used 260DA, and I’ve observed a few smaller < 28') boats get shrink wrapped, last one I saw was a 1999 Sea Ray 250DA. The whole procedure seems fine except that before they start the wrapping they fork lift...

So while I’m waiting for my freshwater conversion kit to arrive I’ve decided not to take my recently purchased used 04’ 260DA out in the salt water of Moriches Bay, but rather spend my time continuing to bond with the boat by exploring and learning its myriad systems and doing a little...

My new used '04 260DA came without a cabin key. I have the 6 digit number off the backside of the lock along with the words Eskiltina Sweeden. I understand from other threads that this is likely a Harley gas tank type key. Are the numbers enough to go to any locksmith to have a copy made? Or...

Well we did it, we bought a used 2004 260 Sundancer, 350 Mag BIII with 16.2 hours (ECM Confirmed more than half of those hours at idle!). I think we made out pretty well, partly because the way the market is right now, and thanks to the advice and threads on this site. So my surveyor calls me...

So it looks like we found our 260DA Sundancer. I ordered a survey from a recommended NAM certified surveyor with significant experience (Seems to know a lot about Sea Ray boats too). That along with an dealer that seems like a standup guy that is including a 30 day warranty (starting when I...

Still looking for that 260 Sundancer with the right options for the right price (I'm patient). Thankfully there is a lot of selection to pick from. A broker told me last week he feels there's two years of boat supply on the market right now. My home port is on Moriches Bay NY, but I like to...

We're still searching for our first Sea Ray, and this site has been such a great help in learning about the boat we want. We're looking at used 260 Sundancers, 2004's mostly, some have radar arches some don't. It seems to me that the arch may be a superior mount for the bimini? Obviously you...

I read posts about corrosion problems with the Bravo III out drive, but couldn't find much about what's good about a Bravo III. What does a Bravo III have over the II? (I'm looking at 2004 and older 260 Sundancers) Thanks!

Hi, this is my first post. My wife and I are looking to upgrade from a Sea Pro 20' Cuddy to a 260 Sundancer. We're looking at used 260's that fit our budget, '04's etc. My gut tells me that a 260 loaded with fluids, family, guests and gear would be hard pressed to perform with a...
