Guys - I saw a 340DA at the boat show with the soft bimini top and the rigid aluminum tubing frame. I thought it looked pretty good. Does anyone know where I can see a picture of that set up? Anyone ever seen something like this done aftermarket?

Guys - Going back to the Cleveland boat show tomorrow night and will be looking hard between the Four Winns Vista V358 and 340 Dancer and I'm trying to get to what the boat really should sell for bottom line. Anyone who has bought one or has good knowledge of what the real street price would be...

Guys - Looking to upgrade from my current 280DA to a 38 or so express cruiser. The 2005 390 is actually my number one choice but I've come across the Rinker 390 Express recently. There is one for sale with Volvo Diesel I/Os. A - I didn't know boats this big came in a sterndrive option and B...

Guys - I'm in the market for a 38 Sundancer and was doing some reasearch. I've read through the history here and have found a fair amount of good stuff. I"m sure this has been discussed before but I wasn't able to see where. My question is why has the 38 Sundancer been shrinking? The...

Guys - looking at upgrading to a 380DA and I've read that there are certain upgrades in inherent in the construction of Sea Ray sport yachts versus the sport cruisers and smaller boats. In other words, there's a difference in the quality of construction and materials between say a 340DA and a...

Guys - Starboard engine is acting funny. After starting both engines and idling down the river to the lake (so 10 minutes or so), my port engine will be up to 170F but my SB engine will still be reading 110F or so. Once out on the lake and running for a while it will finally come up to about...

Guys - We're thinking of relocating to Charlotte area and I have a few questions about Lake Norman. I've been to the Lake Norman sites but still have a couple of questions. I'd appreciate whatever info I can get. 1. Is Lake Norman landlocked? Can you get to the Atlantic from it? Can you...

The joys of boat ownership continue ... :grin: I've noticed that the port engine is stiff getting in and out of gear - once in gear, throttle response is smooth but the transition from neutral to either forward or reverse is stiff. Last night it was more than stiff - it took a lot of force...

Guys - we have had our 280 Sundancer for about 6 weeks now and for the most part everything has been good and I've been able to figure most things out as I've gone. On three separate occasions, we've found wet carpet at the base of the step to go up to the cockpit. It's in the triangular area...

Guys - can these keys be duplicated by a typical key making shop or do they have to be ordered from Sea Ray?

Guys - I'm getting an alarm while the engines are running - it is the same sound as the ignition makes when you hit start the engines. It beeps twice about every 2 minutes or so. I checked all gauges and everything seemed fine. Looked in the engine room and noticed a reservoir seemed low on...

Guys - Has anyone found a flat panel TV to fit in the enclosure on the 2003 280DAs? The OEM unit is a litle TV/VCR unit. I measured the opening to be just over 12" wide. Has anyone found a nice little LCD unit to fit in there?

Guys - between the way I have my boat docked and the location of the shore power box, my standard cable wasn't reaching without running right through the middle of the boat - which was not ideal of course. So, after putting up with that for a weekend, I went and bought a 25' cable from BW along...

Guys - New Sea Ray owner here and the boat came from Pittsburgh with a Claw anchor. Doesn't seem to be digging in very well in the sandy bottom of Lake Erie. Everyone around here seems to have Danforth-type (?) anchors with the sharp triangular flutes. They recommended this type of anchor at...

Guys - I've noticed that the throttle control levers on my boat are very sticky. Particularly the port engine and particularly going into reverse. It just feels like it takes a lot of force to get them from neutral into forward and reverse - I find myself "tapping" them to get what I want and...

Hi guys. My wife and I just took delivery of a 2003 280 Sundancer. She's black and gold with black canvas - a real beauty. Also has twin 305/260Hps with Bravo III outdrives and a generator. We couldn't be happier. I have no boating experience though so I'm a little uncertain about some...
