    Table v berth conversion 260 Sundancer

    +1 on the hand over post. In my case, it was a black eye and bleeding form the eyebrow....not to mention the entire summer of harassment from my dock neighbors!

    2007 Searay 260DA RPM Question

    Thank you. That is almost exactly the RPMs I shoot for. With a full tank of fuel, full tank of water and 5 people on board I was hitting approximately 23-25MPH at 3750 RPMs. Appreciate the feedback.

    Gorilla and Grandaughter

    I can't even believe this is being debated the way it is. Head shot. Only viable option here. The issue I have with the Zoo is safety. Now, an adult can figure out many way to be stupid. The layout should never be such that a child can climb into a pen like that...

    It's amazing to me how often this actually happens every year. I personally believe that any marina in fresh water should have signage regarding swimming and the potential issues. There are MANY people who do not know that this actually happens. I did not until a few years ago when I read a...

    2007 260 DA Speedo not working

    Hey folks. Was out Saturday and my Speedo is not working. I did just change out GPS and had to wire so the first thing I will check is any wires coming to/from speedo. Aside from that, where is the speedo pickup in the water? Outdrive? Hull? Thanks a million

    I took a year off from boating last year due to personal reasons but have been back in the water for 2 weeks now. Took her out Saturday for the first time since the summer of 2014. Everything was flawless with the exception of her captain...me. WORST docking job I have ever done in my life...

    Winterizing and Springerizing...

    BOAT = Bust Out Another Thousand. Skipping or bypassing anything inportant/critical on a boat will result in far more expenses. What I would suggest is learnig how to do these items yourself.. The more you can do on your own, the less $$ you will be spending annually. Good luck!!

    2006 260 DA - Clarion Stereo No Power

    I have the same boat. It seems to m that when the panel was replaced, they failed to either add power to breaker or to Stereo. There is a specific breaker for the stereo. First step for me would be to remove the stereo and see if there is power to the head unit. Good luck
