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...

Any 2001 290 Sundancer owners out there...I did my survey today and all was going well until we pulled the mattress pad out of the Mid-cabin. There is a compartment or bilge section covered by a panel. It had 4 inches of water which I assume came from heavy rain and no zip in windshield or when...

Well my my offer was accepted and I will do a sea trial Friday or Saturday with a survey to follow. I can't wait. What can you 290 owners tell me about the boat, what to expect or areas of operation you would think I might find helpful. I also have learned that I get to join another CSR member...
