Good advice, wish I would have taken that tack going in. Now I am stuck.

It does have the genset, windlass, camper canvas, bottom paint. But base engine. And no, could not tow this one...

And therein lies the problem, we have not been able to sell our boat. But I can see your point on that. We offered 8% less than the asking price. Like I mentioned, we were not trying to steal the boat, just offer what we thought was a fair price. We don't want to pay more then what the...

I see more of an issue on price difference on the 160, I am closer to OK on the trade offer on the 185 (we are negotiating them separately). You do bring up a good point, the dealer's inventory on 260 is very low, especially with these options. And, of course, they are in the middle of...

That was our approach exactly. I countered with what I felt was a fair price based on NADA and prices on BoatTrader and Craigslist, let him know I was willing to put a deposit down immediately and schedule the survey and that I had financing already lined up through my company. He came back...

We currently own a 185 Sport, only since August, and we already have the urge to upgrade and are looking at 260 Sundancers. We have found a 2008 260 that is dealer owned that has the options that we are interested in. We got the dealer starting point offer, both on the 260 and 185 (trade...

Let us know if you head our way, we have only done Wylie, but were planning to check out Norman since it is the same distance from our house in Charlotte.

I have never been on a Monterey in the water, but I have to say for the price, the fit and finish on the boat was very impressive, we looked at the 41'. The price was also aggressive, in the $300Ks.

III Forks - great steaks, great atmosphere - very Texas. R&D Kitchen - cool American cuisine. Javier's - Great Mexican Those are all nicer places. If you want dives, let me know I have those too. If you want middle of the road, I can help you out there too. I get to Dallas once a month.

That sounds like a plan.

Nice pics Nicky. We enjoyed hanging out at Jocassee with you guys back at Labor Day, so beautiful. Wish we could have made it this time.

Well I was not considering a 280 until people started mentioning it, and then I started wondering if I was not thinking of something important. At some point we may like to trailer, but we cannot at this point, since we don't have a large enough truck. Handling and comfort is important, but so...

Only been looking for about 2 weeks. Looked in person at the 2, but have reviewed a number of others online trying to find the right year/model, setup, option/feature set, hours, etc. Not in a hurry, but want to move when I find the right boat. I have been reading about the handling, is it...

I have not seen the 2011s but that is how I feel about the 2010s. We are looking to upgrade to a 260 or 280, and the 2010s don't have as nice of a layout in the cockpit or a lot of the extras. We are going to go used, 06-08.

Trailering is not really a concern, as we are going to wet slip, and my truck will not handle either of these boats anyway. We also want to take into consideration maintenance and upkeep costs, will they be that different?

The 260 has Merc Cruiser 6.2 Sea Core, B3. The 280 has Twin 5.0 MPI. I did like the 260 cockpit layout better, but I liked the 280 separate dinette (as you mentioned on both). Any thoughts as to value vs price?

The 260 is pristine, as it was really never used. Used 4 times and kept in dry storage, nothing above it to leak. The 280 was stored in a wet slip and now is stored at the dealer on a trailer (for the past few months), needs a good detailing, especially on the vinyl, but seems to be in good...

We are looking to upgrade (already) and were looking at the 260s with generators, a good size entry level cruiser for the family to overnight on our local lakes. But after reading and some feedback from the great members on the site, we started looking at 280s. I know there are a lot of...

All this talk is making me feel bad for financing my little 185. Why do you all want to make me feel bad about something that brings so much joy to me and my family? Why?
