John, Have a great trip. You have a lot of jealous boaters on here wishing we were going as well.

John, The only down side to the show was the Raptor did not extend out over the boats, on one of his or her passes but hey I can't get everything I want. Blue # 6 came over the boat from the west at just below the sound barrier because he was gone before the roar, Susan was almost in the water...

Spent the day on the hook just off the main runway at Tyndall Air Force Base with about 80 other boats. We were in grand company with at least 6 or 7 other Sea Rays from Treasure Island Marina. It was a spectacular day weather wise although chilly in the wind which blew most of the day at a...

I guess it could have been a belt, it just sounded more mechanical at the time; and I agree if it was a serious mechanical issue it would have just not just gone away. It has never happened before and it gave me an Oh s**t. $2000.00 is gone.

I wish:grin: Lee

I operate a 290 5.0 BIII . We were out Saturday for a trip, all systems started fine and we idled out of our marinia. All readings were normal. I had hit the trim buttom for the SB drive by mistake and put her back down. After clearing the no-wake zone I powered up to speed; about 10 seconds...

Hey John, Loved the pics. I am doing the spring break Tri Delta deal next weekend duirng ALabama's. Will do Shell Island and may go down to Baytown where some sisters are staying. Nothing beats hugs from a daughter and her friends after being out on the boat. Lee

John I have a Dell and use a Verizon Broadband card pluged into the side port. It is about 45.00 for unlimited access and works well at SHell Island, Treasure Island Marina, the area in general. This allows me to keep my cell open at all times. Go this route , it is the way to go

With the close of December I will complete the first year as a Sea Ray owner. We spent the the year adding new canvas, waxing, polishing SS and cleaning carpet. The boat was a 2001 290 Sundancer that had been little used and needed some TLC. I had minor generator problems, but for the most part...

This was very moving, brought tears to my eyes. I am 55 years old and have a picture of me on our bookshelf at 10 in a 10ft pram with my hand on the tiller of a 3.5hp outboard. My Dad and I build her on the backporch. He is gone now but the salt water is in my blood and now I strive to pass this...

John, Give me first right of refusal on your boat when you are ready to sell her. I know you have her in first class shape Lee Henderson

Being the Dad of two smart and beautiful girls who love the water, Andrea and Kathleen, I had to go with Andreleen

John, Have you any expericence with C-Map chips and Chart Plotters? I can,t zoom down below 3.5nm , when I do I get a grid showing my boat and an error message say no chart data. My expectation was that I would be able to blow a channel for good resolution . I am on Raymarine's web site now but...

Hey , John, Susan and I were on the hook just off the island on the 5th out beside the Grand Banks; went back to TIM Sunday morn to PU my 18 year old daughter and 5 BFF's . We returned but you were gone. I spent Sunday night thru Wed. tied up at the marina working on my boat. Polished all SS ...

'I bought a 290 Dancer that was fitted with the Raymarine 790 Chart Plotter, I just added the C-map chip and things work well. The only prolblem I have is with the range. WHen I zoom down to Under 3.5 nm I get the grid screen with my boat and waypoints but no chart and a message that says there...

Gents, Now that we have settled on the Porter Cable , what polish do you guys recomend for our Sea Rays

Hi, My name is Lee. I have boating since 5 and I will turn 55 this June. I started out in a 10ft pram which I could sail or put a 3HP kicker on it to explore the water around Morehead City, N.C. Currently married to a gal that grew up on the Tennessee River and have two daughters one 22 and the...

Mike , Mine stays full untill it evoporates and it is a 2001 system. It may sit for weeks and I will still have water in the bowel, Sounds like you have a leak. Some folks put a small amount of mineral oil in a flush or two for the valves...this may help your problem short term

Hi, Just bought a 2001 290 and love it. As the others have said , go for it and don't let 4.75 a gal gas deter you
