First time to winterize the 240 5.7L 4 barrel alpha 1 Gen II...planning the process for next weekend and curious how the evolution unfolds when you're trying to suck the antifreeze thru the outdrive while at the same time pouring the fogging solution down the carb. My first-shot timeline...

Just getting out to the other side of the Lower P around the corner from Coles pt and noticed there weren't any Jellys...whats up with that? :smt017 Does the wind keep them blown over to the north eastern shore? Made a (anti) jelly cage for the kids to swim in. Saw the "Nettle Net" and...

Well- the glory of the new boat got a bit tarnished last week when I was enroute to hauling her out for a weekend in the driveway to buff/polish, install a bilge fume detector, (re) paint the outdrive, and put in a mercathode system. Recall I took her after a couple week's ownership to have...

Anybody have a quick link to supplier for a 12v cabin LED? One of the boats I looked at b/f buying mine had all the bulbs swapped out (cabin/cockpit/anchor) for LEDs and would like to do same. Would make a bunch of 'net surfin easier if somebody has done it and remembers the site/PN's. Thanks!

A fellow mariner at the marina today read me into the fuel tax rebate for Virginia...17.5 cents/gallon for fuel and 16 cents/gallon for diesel. Saw the form on the VA DMV website http://www.dmv.virginia.gov/webdoc/pdf/ts217.pdf This can't be real...a state gov't agency willing to give...

Howdy all- The deed has been done! I'm finally sleeping at night after the intense hunt for the 'right one'. Drove 8 hours up to Erie, PA a couple weeks ago and picked up the latest addition to the family. A couple lessons learned on the 240 and boats in general- thought I'd pass 'em along...

Howdy all- Been in the hunt and thought I found the 'Shenaya' of boats...she's a 9.5 overall ('97 240 sea ray sundancer) and all the surveyor could find after 4 hrs including a sea trial was a bad gfi plug, some canvas needing stitching, an intermittent bow light, and where there were signs...

Don't know if this has made the rounds here.... http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/general-yachting-discussion/7055-splash.html :smt009 Enuf to make a grown man cry...

Well- for those of you who have followed Teamgomez' trials and tribulations over searching for the future "No Worries" and offered your thoughts on those matters foreign to me, I've got to tell you I'm somewhat puzzled by a nearly IDENTICAL performance curve on the 210 vs 250 hp models up to...

Going to look at a couple 240's tomorrow and curious how y'all would value a/c, a shower and hot h2o. Got a line on 2 240's listed as follows: #1: 1997 210 hp, new transom seals+shift+throttle cables, new refer, new lights, new EZ roller disc brakes trailer listed for 22k. Private party who...

G'day all- Going to sea trial a 1997 210 hp 5.7L 24' Sea Ray tomorrow. Been staying away from the 210 hp model b/c I thought it would be 'underpowered'. The next year's model (1998) had a 5.7L as well but it is rated at 250hp. Has to be the same block so what did they do to bump the...

Howdy all- I'm currently in violation of Manlaw #1 which states thou shalt not own property with empty slip. Looking to comply with law soonest- if any of y'all happen to have or know a shipmate who would like to relieve themselves from the burden of ownership, I would like to get in...

Crossed paths with what sounds like a boat coming from an "upgrader" (he's moving up to a 35' and needs to sell the 240 to keep the Admiral happy). Vessel has new fridge/bellows/throttle,shift cables/LED lighting/bottom paint/2005 EZ loader trailer/Overnight pkg/camper...

Looking for some thoughts on 'I'd run away if I were you' or 'could be worth it' on the following (also posted over in the eng forum...low traffic there, though, and this is an addendum to my Sundancer post...thanks for the read)- Looking at a '95 250 Sundancer w/ the 7.4L BIII. Took her out...

Looking at a '95 250 Sundancer w/ the 7.4L BIII. Took her out today and from cruise to WOT temp went from 170 to 210 in just under 20 sec. Got the alarm, brought her to idle for about 10 sec then shut her down. Boat got new impeller, risers, manifolds, thermostat about 19 months ago and saw 2...

Howdy all- Newbie checkin' in with a few questions for y'all who have a minute to comment. Got bit by the boat bug pretty hard lately and narrowed the hunt down to a 240 Sundancer (grew up on Sea Rays in the Sacto River...military life has postponed my ability to enjoy a vessel but can no...
