Hey Jim, This looks like a Ross Kelley Ohlsson davit. Is it? We had one on our trawler, loved it so much we bought it back from the folks we sold the trawler to and are now thinking of using it on the 2005 SeaRay 280 Sundancer we hope to own later this week. We intend on getting an aluminum...

I'm considering putting a Rosskelley Ohlson davit system (25 lbs.) on a 280 sundancer with 496 Mag to hold an 85 lb. 9' aluminum hull inflatable (#85 lb) and a 9.9hp 4-stroke (85 lb). Total weight 195 lbs. on the platform. Will I have any problem getting/staying on plane? Usually they'll just be...

I used to go from Salem, MA across the bay to to P'Town, thru the canal and across Buzzard's Bay to Cuttyhunk, up the coast to Portland and Casco Bay, etc. As far as the Vineyard goes, Vineyard Haven is only about 6-7 miles off Falmouth. So hug the coast down to the canal and then the coast down...

Thanks for your responses. Does anyone have experience with the 280 with a dinghy and motor on the swim platform? Our dinghy this time around will probably be a 9' aluminum hull inflatable (85 lb) and a 9.9hp 4-stroke (85#) sitting on a Roskelley Olsson davit system (25 lb). (If you're not...

I'm new to the forum and considering purchasing a Sundancer 280 for coastal cruising in New England waters. I'd be interested in hearing from other 280 owners as to its seakeeping abilities. How is she on a beam sea, how tender, does she ride dry, etc? I'm an experienced helmsman and know how to...

Thanks for the info, Coastal and Getaway. Very helpful. Tomorrow I'm taking a long drive to look at a '88 268 w/twins. Hopefully it's clean enough to go forward with a survey. I was also considering a really clean 268 with a 350cc. My wife and I do a lot of one-two week cruising (Cape Cod Bay...

Thanks for your feedback, Daddubo and Getaway. I found a 268 w/twin 4.3s that I'm considering. If I like it and the seller and I can come to terms, I'll have it surveyed. Three questions: 1) The engines have never had anything done to them except annual maintenance by a SeaRay dealer. I'm a...

Hello All, I am brand new to Club SeaRay. I've read a lot of the posts and it seems like you all share a wealth of info. I am looking at 268s now and have a few questions. I owned a 1987 230 Weekender with an Alpha 1 for 12 years, then sold her to buy a trawler. After a few years of cruising...
