Prob going to head down on Thur during the day. Wife and daughter enjoy making a day of it and taking the train in and out of the city. Any lines on discount tickets?

Sorry to resurrect my own thread but kinda got side tracked with Dave's new girl but with the cold finally setting in I'm starting to think of projects for the upcoming year. So first question again.... Anyone get under the "jump" seat in a 280ss???

David, Great to hear it all worked out. You got a perfect weekend to come on up. Best of luck to you and your new girl.

SS is a a great boat, since your talking about A/C I'm assuming cuddy. If your throwing round a sundeck you are comparing apples and oranges. Even the 290ss open bow is completely different to the sundeck. The ss is definitely a day boat with "crashing" availability. If your looking to spend...

Has anyone ever opened up the area under the "jump seat" in a '99 (or earlier I believe) 280ss? I am wondering if there is a good way to get under there? What is located in there? Would it be a good place to put an a/c / heat unit? I attached a couple pics of the area with the cushion...

Sorry don't have a her on a trailer

I bought 2 Die Hard Platinum AGM group 31 April of '12 for the port (house) batteries and had to replace them both this summer. Neither would take a charge or hold it. After 48 hrs on a charger at home the best I could get was 9v on one and 7v on the other. Within 24 hours they came down to...

2000SeaRay, thanks for the response, greatly appreciated. Guess my quest continues since I don't have the cabin galley. Again best of luck with the sale. Thanks again

It is made by WindLine I believe..... it was the ladder that was installed from Swimplatforms.com

This years upgrade was new canvas. Originally we only had the front bimini and the slant back sport camper canvas. We also changed from the brown tweed color to black. Canvas shop built the frame work for the rear bimini and installed it as well. Rear curtain and both side rear curtains have...

Haven't been around lately but installed an extended swim platform from Swimplatforms.com for our 280 spring of '13 project and thought I'd share it with fellow CSR members who may be looking for ideas.

Great looking boat best of luck with the sale, sorry to thread jack but do you have any pics of the A/C heat unit??? Where it is located, how it is vented and plumbed? I have looked all over and can't find any other 280ss with this option. I'm looking to possibly add it to our 280ss next...

pchansen, nothing to be sorry for. thanks for getting back to me. I'll have to look into and thanks for the info.

Congrats to the OP for the positive outcome, No doubt Al is a class act. I just ordered my platform from him as well after about two weeks of email correspondence. Very excited waiting for the big plywood crate in three weeks ish. Sal A, Here is a three part series with pointers. The real...

pchansen, What type of mount is that. Was it a universal or brand specific? The plate you have is exactly what I am looking for to attach to the swim deck but want to make sure it will work with my grill. That being said also what type of pedestal leg and attachment do you have? Any help is...

spfortjohn and lazy daze, just the pointers I was looking for. Thank you so much for the words of advice.

Thanks for the input, stupid question, but I'm a newer DYI'er why would I not want to use 5200 or say 4200? On my old fiberglass boat I used 100% waterproof silicone and didn't have a problem either so whats the difference? I'm looking to re-caulk my rub rail as well due to some of it already...

Even with an anti-syphon valve (which I believe is needed to make sure oil doesn't "leak down" when not operating) once that seal is broken on the filter oil should pour out of it. So any engine guys out there able to chime in? Is the 1/2 qt to 1 qt of airspace in the filter, especially with a...

Hey there small world. I was actually going to drive up there soon anyways to look for some starboard or another product like it as well. Thanks for the reference, I guess I'll have to get to the marina and take some measurements (do you know if there is a "standard" size and or thickness? or...

Let the Texas Sheriff come up to Illinois for some target practice. I'm not going into is it right or wrong, the safety issues or any thing else on those lines but a new law just may make hunting and boating a reality. Fishing license... check, hunting license... check, hell here in Illinois...
