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...

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...

We are heading to Lake Tillery on Saturday. Launching at the south end of the lake. Any tips on sights or places to check out on the lake? Any good places to anchor and let the kids swim?

Took our boat out of dry storage today and put it in the garage for the first time. When we went out this evening to the fridge there was a really strong smell. It wasn't pure gas, but a mixture of gas and engine smells. Is that normal? Should we be concerned that the fumes could be ignited...

Wanted to get an idea of how long I can safely use the radio on the boat using battery power without running it down?

So, I have some plastic dock guard scrapes on my black gelcoat and wondering the best way to remove. I have read acetone, is there a certain brand of product that is best? Or would Meguiar's Oxidation Remover work better or even Meguiar's Color Restorer?

We purchased a handheld VHF, Icom M34. I am getting it setup, but I was hoping you guys could help me a little. It is monitoring channel 16 and the weather channel, but what other channels should I tag it to monitor? Any other setup tips as well?

We currently have our boat in dry storage at LWM. What are people's thoughts on Tailrace? Prices are good, but wow is it far north. Also I am not sure of keeping my boat in the water AND uncovered.

Wanted to get some information regarding navigating Lake Wylie, specifically how far North can you go on the lake without having to worry about depth. We have been pretty far south, and all the way down Little Allison, but have not ventured as far North, we have only made it up to Daniel Stowe.

What does this group think, boating course, worth the time?

I read a few great posts on upkeep and cleaning the outside of the boat, and just bought some Meguiar's wash, wax, quick clean and vinyl/rubber cleaner. Thanks for all the info! My question is about how to keep the inside nice and clean. Obviously I will use the vinyl/rubber cleaner on the...

Took delivery of our 2010 Sea Ray 185 Sport today. The wife and 2 kids went down to Lake Wylie for our "training run" with the dealer and then anchored at the sandbar and had lunch and had a blast in the water. The trailering part...not so much fun. Not as easy as it looks, at least for us...

Any recommendations for who to use for hitch and wiring installation in the Charlotte area?

New to boating, new to Sea Ray and new to the forums. We are picking up our 2010 185 Sport on Monday from Hall Marine at Lake Wylie. We live in Indian Trail. Hoping to get some information on who can do lettering in the Charlotte area.

We are getting close to pulling the trigger on a 2010 185 Sport. This will be our first boat. It is really great to see all the happy owners. Any tips on what we need to get to be ready for our first day of lake boating?
