Never done this before and I'm getting ready to repaint the bottom of my '87 270DA and want to hear some opinions about what paint I should use. My mechanic told me he has a brand called Interlux for cruisers. Is this acceptable to use? He told me that he would give me a deal on it. Thanks Greg

Does anyone know where I can find a replacement glass top for stove in '87 270SD? I just purchased the boat and the glass top is missing from the stove, it's a 2 burner alc/elc. Not sure if it can even be replaced. Any info appreciated. Thanks, Greg

I just purchased my first Sea Ray, 1987 270 Sundancer and also just found this site. Can't wait to get it in the water, when the ice is gone on Lake Champlain. I'm sure there will be alot of questions coming, so thanks in advance.
