First Year with new 280SD. I've been spot cleaning so far but need a thorough cleaning. What is the best process and products to get the job done? I also have a pretty decent dock rub to buff out. Any help would be appreciated. I need to put some time into her and really want to do it...

Does anyone know the standard length of the anchor rope on the 280? I know the chain is 30ft. The rope has a red tag on the boat tied end of the rope, but no numbers. Do I have to measure it?

I was not paying enough attention and let the fuel run over.:smt021 I immediately hosed it off, but noticed a stain when I got back to the dock. I cannot be the only one to ever do it. How do ? remove the stain? Wiping it with a rag did not take it all off. There is still a slight...

Does anyone have the XM marine weather package on their chartplotter system. I am getting the Garmin 4208 with the sounder package and they have a "bundled" deal that includes the radar weather package. Since I am not adding radar this year, I thought this may be a good inclusion. Does...

Has anyone used or know about NBOA Marine Insurance. They were recommended by the Sea Ray salesman and he indicated the were widely used by Sea Ray dealers. I received a quote that was very reasonable, but wanted to know if anyone had any insight. I also got a quote from my Allstate agent...

I hope I do not annoy you all with my questions. Not the best picture. It's still on the dealer lot. I will post better pictures when we get her to the Marina! OK- I can't upload my pictures. I think the files are too big. How do you get your pictures "small" enough to upload?:smt100

I am finalizing the purchase of my electronics and did not realize there were several options for installation of the transducer. Does anyone have insight? Cutting it in, shooting through the hull or the stern (puck) options seem like a pricing decision. How much performance deference is...

Has anyone added one to their boat? I need to know where to look and some recommendations on models would be great. Thanks!

I do not have waterfront property, so I have three options for storage: Dry Inside, Dry Outside, & Wet Slip. Dry inside is too expensive for me right now. The wet slip and dry outside storage are about the same price. The wet slip would provide tons of convenience, but more maintenance and...

Could anyone recommend a good unit that is pretty much all in one? I am sure most are made that way today, but I have little experience buying marine electronics. I am not sure if skimping in this area would be a regret or if it is easy to overspend uneccessarily. I will mostly be cruising...

This is a great site! We (Angela & Tom) bought a 280 Sundancer 2007 with 5.0's, BIII's, and a 5.0 genny. The advice we received was very helpful in making us comfortable with the right set up for our family. We have been buying a boat for 10 years. Every time we got close, something (or...

Can anyone tell me how much it would cost to add four rod holders to the gunwales od the 280 and the flat screen in the aft cabin? I am back in negotiation w/ the dealer on the 2007.

Hello all! I am in the preocess of buying a 2006 280 Sundancer... I just had a 2007 fall through that had the 5.0's. The salesman was insistent that the 4.3 BIII would be a disappointment. Of course he only had the 5.0 and everyone else had the 4.3. I have triplet 5 year old boys, a 7 year...
