All 400 sedan bridge owners. We are looking at purchasing one and comparing it to a 391 meridian. Looking at the pros and cons of the 400 DB and for some feedback. The one big pro is the $100k+ price difference
Under $200k. The 400 is older than we want to go as we anticipate this being a more long term boat for us, but as many as we have gone through I’m sure that will change. The 42/44 has a draft of another 4” and a price tag increase too as you said. The only reason I was even on them is I saw them...
Hi everyone. I have been looking into sedan bridges for a couple of years. Currently in a sundancer and we want more of an open boat layout. I have been on the 42db and the 44db, but never on the 360 or 390db. Recently I have found a 390 and 360 with diesels for sale and I’m very interested but...
Finally got around to checking into this as I have been swamped at work.
Changed the plugs lugs and no difference, although I did notice one of the plug wires (that's only 12 months old) has a cut in it! Anyone know where I can get a plug wire other than from the dealer for a rediculous price...
Zorba thanks for the tip and the thread, it's some great info. I was leaning towards the plugs, of all the possibilities it seems the easiest and least costly fix.
as for transmission fluid it is red or it was when I checked it just prior to launch, and the oil sheen was noticed immediately...
Got the boat in the water this weekend and in the port exhaust I am noticing either a fuel or oil sheen on the water surface, it is only in the port exhaust.
Both engines are running great, same oil PSI, same engine temp, both are burning nearly the same GPH the starboard has always been...
We have an 04' and absolutely love it. The two things that come to mind are at this age it's due for manifolds and risers, so hopefully they were just done and the other is related to the "cool fuel" issue. Do a search on here their is tons of valuable information on it. If the boat is powered...
Which of the 3 did you install? I'm leaning towards the XL-Roll on and I am going to tackle this project this winter. And do you have any pictures?

To chime in here. I have been paying attention to fuel all summer as well. Generally run between 3350-3450 rpm, which puts us at a cruise speed of 22-24 kph GPS reading, depending on wind and chop. The smartcraft gauge generally gives me 29-31 gph readings in these conditions. (Although the...
I took it apart over the weekend and found no visible bulb number. The bulb had 3 screws with wires attached to each. I assume, one for flood, one for spot, and one for ground.
Hey everyone,
my spotlight went out this weekend and I took it apart and realized this is a really strange bulb. Can anyone point me in a direction of where to get a replacement, other than the dealer.
More importantly does anyone know if there is an LED replacement? I looked at...
Thanks for the list guys. Most below I had thought of but there is definitely some parts I would never have thought about.
As for service records I do not have any other than marinemax is going to replace all fluids, impellers, and zincs. And that the manifolds and muffler boxes were just done...
Just finalized a deal for an 04' 340 so I had some questions regarding maintenance, spare parts, and what you would advise to be a common problem and/or easy on the water repair. I hope to not have any problems as we all do but it doesn't hurt to be prepared!
This being my 5th boat but my first...
I am having trouble figuring out how to post pictures through the iPad but I do have some. And I will be keeping her in the bush river as I live in harford county about 5 minutes from the marina. The wife and I do frequently visit annapolis on the occasional weekend though.

Hi all. Earlier I posted asking for feedback on the 340 and many responded and told me how great the boat is. We finalized a deal for an 04' 340 over the weekend and close on all the paperwork Friday. So now all I need is all the snow to disappear!
This being my 5th boat but my first with...
For those that like and don't like your 340s please respond. My wife and I are considering trading up again. Currently we are in an 06' 280 and we are looking at an 04' 340. I like the layout and was shocked when I was in the cabin and was able to standup in much of it (I'm 6'7"). Guess I'm just...
Question for everyone with the twin 4.3 setup. I have the MPI engines and they run great. However starting is sometimes an issue. You can leave the boat for a day, week, or month and the engines start with no problem. The issue occurs after running the engines from anywhere from 5 minutes to 2...
