Rob,
The boat wouldn't be the 270 at Spend A
day Marina would it?
Lazy Daze - I pull my 260 SD with a Yukon XL. Not the best tow vehicle in the world but does fine. I also take my time and not act like fool on the road. If I am in a hurry oh well.
I launch and load my 260 solo all the time. The best piece of advice I have is to take your time and do not be rushed by the goof balls at the ramp. Once you establish a good mental checklist and learn to keep your cool, things fall into place just fine.
Cagnoli - I wish you were having better luck. We just got back from 11 days on Norris Lake TN and I see all of this. The only problem I seem to not have solved is the warning I get that says "Fault Lever 1". It is some type of DTS error. The bad part is that you have to turn the ignition...
The dealer seems to think that the battery switch was not fully engaged. I do remember the switch not feeling the same when I turned the batteries off. The boat is in the shop having the 20 hour service. They said they would check it to make sure. I did run the boat once after I had the...
No problem Cagnoli, I know I will be asking for some suggestions at some point. We are getting ready to head to Norris Lake TN on June 26 for a couple of weeks. Not looking forward to the 300 mile tow. I hope with 20+ hours I don't have any issues outside of the astronomical amount of fuel we...
Cagnoli - Took the boat out yesterday with 6 kids and one other adult. We were able to cruise at 30-32 MPH running 3100 on the tach. The GPS still showed us running high 40's at 4800 RPM. How hard is it to get the dealer to look at your boat? When I got a bad response from one of the...
It does run through the RPM's fairly fast, but not too fast. I still cannot believe how quick the boat gets out of the hole. I had a head start on the hours, the boat had 14 on it when I got it. We have not wakeboarded behind it but we did ski. It will definitely pull the stumps out of the...
Cagnoli,
My 260SD has the 26P prop set. I am sitting at 21 hours. We ran the boat for a short period at WOT. The Speedo showed right about 50mph/4800rpm. The GPS showed 47.5. We also had 1/2 tank of fuel, 9 people on board and the water tank full. I spent quite a bit of time figuring out...
Had an alarm go off on the boat yesterday. The smartcraft readout displayed "Fault Level 1" I was in the water getting ready to ski when this happened. I checked all the fluids, etc.. Nothing obvious. I reset the alarm and went on about our business. A couple hours later it goes off again...
My old 200 Select used the ignition key to unlock the glove box. At first it did not seem to fit well. After a few times of fighting with it it worked. The key went all the way until the rubber coating hit the latch. What I found out was that I had to have the key at an angle going in to...
Cagnoli - Mine lays back against the tower and has two straps that wrap around the tower. I have the same tower. I will have the boat out of storage later this week. I can take a couple of pictures if you want. Did I understand your question? You can see the bimini in the pics I posted in...
Cagnoli,
Nice boat. The Corsa is kind of fun. I did the same thing when I first launched the boat. Flipped the switch and watched the heads turn. I sent you a PM.
The ride is unbelievably better. It cuts through the chop like it wasn't even there. We have only had the boat in the water once since we bought it. We ran through some pretty rough stuff with no problems. I need to practice with the tabs. They definitely helped keep the boat level. The...
Good deal!!! I'll trade you the 1/2 tank of fuel for the other seats. Mine does not have the docking lights or the tower speakers. The admiral has kind of squashed the idea of the tower speakers. She wanted to know what the reason was behind it. I told her so I could hear the stereo while I...
kyle f- We generally go to Norris around the fourth of July. We will be there June 28 until at least July 8. We always make sure to hit Corona and Wing night at Sequoyah Marina. We stay in Big Creek by marker 6. We launch at White Bridge.
Cagnoli - I had a similar problem with the rebates. SeaRay had already extended the rebates by a month. The dealer said I had until April 14th. On April 3rd I get a call that SeaRay won't accept the rebate request. The dealer called their rep for help. we met the rep at a boat show ealrier...
The 260 is about 300 or 400 lbs heavier. The bow is much deeper than the 240. The 496 is a big block engine. The 496 puts out 375 hp. They also make a 496HO that is rated at 425 HP. The 5.0 L MPI is a 260 HP small block. The whole reason we didn't buy the 240 was the issue in the bow.
