Sorry to bring this back to the tie down part of the thread but anyone else have pictures? Been thinking about doing this or adding a cleat inboard of the door so I can access the swim platform. Seems like lots of work and possible structural issues.
Hey everyone. Hoping I can pick you heads a bit. I apologize in advance that I don't know all the proper engine terms are.
2001 340SD w/ merc 8.1's.
Back story:
Friday-
Picked up the boat from the marina for the summer. They did routine preventative work on her over the winter and was out...
Just an FYI, I had a safety check this past week and the CG Aux guy said new this year is the local law enforcement aren't supposed to stop boats with a current inspection sticker. This is in Western MI area (Whitelake). He said obviously this wouldn't stop them but they have been told not to...
As far as CO fumes what is protocol for being underway with the cabin door open? Our sales guy said it wasn't a problem but we had the detector go off once. We have the camper canvas on but usually have a few of the panels taken off to keep it cool.
stupid question maybe but where do you plug the vacuum hose into for the central vac? The hose was stored under the salon sofa but I couldn't find the input or controls??? 340 newbie...
Just bought a 2001 340 and cant wait to get on it. Wondering if you guys know where I can get replacement filler cushions for the stern seating area. We are missing a few. Thanks for the help and I'm sure I will have some questions for you all.
We made an offer on a nice 2001 340 yesterday but our broker told us this morning he is having a hard time finding financing for it because of the age. I find that hard to believe. Anyone have any lenders that work with older boats?
Looks like my area is a bit less expensive than for others. I have called around a bunch of marinas in the area and here is what I have put together.
Slip- $600 py. We were lucky the house we bought came with a 35' slip at the marina a few blocks away but we have to pay into the...
Yeah keeping the 230 isn't an option. Need it to help pay for the upgrade. Thanks for the help so far everyone.
Few more questions if you don't mind. I have been putting together a budget to make sure we aren't biting off more than we can chew. I know these numbers are subjective to the...
Tim-
Love it! Did you have any problems moving up from the 230? I feel very comfortable in any situation in that boat and suspect I will have no problem with the 320 but just curious how you handled the change. Coming from the transportation industry the challenge of moving up to bigger...
Thanks for the input. Just to clarify those skiing would be experienced and for the most part going in a straight line. I once skied behind a 60' yacht off of the crane used to lower his dingy. I was more looking to see if it is actually possible to attach a ski rope since I doubt it has a...
Hey everyone new to the forum but at first glance looks like everyone is a wealth of knowledge. My family is looking at upgrading from a Four Winns 230 Horizon runabout to something larger like the 320 Sundancer. We have a house on a inlet lake in Western MI so we do a combination of boating...
