Well I finally got pulled today and now high and dry...hopefully high enough. Thursday made the call but had about 80 boats in front of me on the list. So glad I made the final cut. Lets hope everyone has a happy ending!

They sell specialized tape at marine supply stores. It is much more durable and peels of without leaving film. We use it over cabin door seems, engine hatch seams, helm, and exhaust vents. I made the call to have the boat hauled yesterday morning. i was #80 something on the list. They...

Thanks alot everyone! Seems Unanimous!

Ok Everyone still pretty much a Newbie and headed to Newport with the family. Looking for some references on marinas. I prefer to be in a slip not a mooring unless I don't have a choice. We have younger kids with us this go around so need that in the equation too but don't want to be too far...

Thanks Guys. Looks like a good spot to me. Been to the vineyard quite alot when I was a kid but always on the ferry. It will be a much nicer experience wit hthe boat. Thanks again.

It will be a family trip so someplace close enough to keep the kids busy and enjoy a bit of the hustle and bustle. I'm sure a party trip will be called for as well sometimes without the kids. We will be coming from Warwick, RI. The plan would be to only stop on the Vineyard with maybe a stop...

Hey Everyone. Still pretty much a newbie here. I searched the forums to the best of my ability. Can anyone recommend a few good marinas on the Vineyard? This would only be for transient/mid week/weekend trips. Preferably a slip. Thanks for the help.

So those of you in RI are you pulling them or leaving them. I'm stuck out of the country and directing the wife by phone/email. We are up in Greenwich Bay Marina any ideas?? This sucks being away.

Thanks, I have already learned alot from the thread and hope someday I'll be helping everyone else too. Survey went great and oil analysis came back this morning all good so looks like its all a go. The downside Risers are due for change out so that will be an early hit but like I said survey...

Ok guys, Will be a fresh newbie by this afternoon. I have searched the threads for my question and found anwers close but just want to confirm. I'm purchasing a 2003 280DA and wanted to know the correct procedure for switching from shore power and vice versa. What I'm looking for is what...

Hey Everyone, We are looking at the 2003 280 Sundancer. Speaking with the listing agent the owner stated the risers/manifolds have never been replaced. I have heard this should be done every 4-5 years when in salt water. The boat has twin 4.3L Merccruisers. Anyone have an idea on cost...

thank you so much, I will be sure to look those things up in the maintanence records.

Thanks for the feedback, we are going to hire a marine surveyor to look at it before the purchase is final, I am hearing good things about the 280, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.
