I used my leatherman. The razor sharp front of the blade. It didn't take much. Still needs tweaked but running better.
I do have DTS and I guess it is what you get used to. It makes running with one throttle simple. Also the dock setting and sync are nice to work with. I have to talk my...
Cincy thanks for the info as far as the water designed to come in under the front center window. I was in the boat during a heavy rain last night and it did drain down as out the sides. I took your recommendation and opened up the side on the starboard side and most of it drained out instead...
I just got my new 290DA 2008 and really like the way it handles. I previously had a 260DA with a 6.2L and it got a little unstable over 15kts.
First day we got it we got some heavy rains and with the camper canvas on we had some water leaks from the rain in the cockpit. One bad spot was under...
I bought a 260 DA last month. I paid the dealer extra to add a sunpad to the bow. After going back and forth for the last month he told me yesterday tha Sea Ray does not make a pad for the front of the boat. :wow: Does anybody have a pad and if so where can I get it?
I bought a new 260DA. I am supposed to take delivery this Saturday. I just got a call this afternoon from the sales manager who I bought the boat from at Fox Chapel Marine north of Pittsburgh, PA. He said when they unwrapped the boat to they noticed that the resin did not dry right on the...
Ryan,
I just check out the link you gave for the soft fenders. They don't list a price do you remember how much to do a 30' slilp. Also I am looking at flat blue fenders and was wondering if anybody has every uesed them. Thanks again for the advice.
Thank you all for the feedback. I am not sure what the correct answer is other than I leaned they are fenders. I won't call them bumpers again. Yes my hull is blue and the bottom has the bottom paint.
I just got a Sundancer 260 and next week I am planning to prepare the dock. When I had a smaller 19' open bow I used the round beach ball type of bumpers. I am looking at setting up this slip with 27" - 30" fenders on the sides and on the back for protection. Can anybody tell me if this is...
I just bought a dancer 260 - 2007. I signed for it last week. Got a great deal on a new 07 with two nice rebates. Sea Ray wants all of the 07 off the lot so they are offering some nice deals on 07. It looks just like Daves. Blue hull and arch. Only main options I didn't get was the...
Keets,
Not yet but close to the deal. Are you getting out of boating or just moving up? You are right I have been dealing with Ron at Fox Chapel on a new 07. He has given us a great deal and good money on our 2000 190 Cobalt.
I don't know if this is the right forum to post this but I just joined CSR and made a small donation to be a Silver member. I am from Pittsburgh and just bought a new Sundancer 260. I think Club Sea Ray is a wonderful resource for boaters. I am looking forward to utilizing and contributing to...
Dave,
My boat will look about the same as yours which makes me happy because yours looks great. If I take the 07 it does come with the camper canvas package. I just liked the solid frame on the integrated Bimini they show on the Sea Ray site. I thought it might be nice to use it and just...
Good idea and that is what I decided to do. Like one of the members said, you can never have too much engine. I can save almost $10,000 taking the new 2007 so I will add the windlass and tv. One final thing. I have melanoma and need to be careful of how much sun I get. The 08 had the Bimini...
Doug & Lisa,
Thanks for the good words. I am in Pittsburgh using the boat on the river. For the most part it will be my wife and myself. We do a lot of lazy cruising around the city. The 08 has a windlass, tv, ac, sat radio. The only advantage on the 07 is the 6.2L engine and I didn't...
I am looking to purchase a new 260. The dealer has a new 07 and a new 08 available. The 07 has a 6.2l engine upgrade and the 08 has the standard 350 mag. I like the 08 because it is loaded with options. Can anyone tell me from experience should I be concerned with the performance of the...
