    fuel burn gas vs diesel

    Our 380 Sundancer had 8.1 Fuel injected V8's and was right on spec at 33-gph cruise (19-20 knots). Bad weather, funky wave conditions, or more throttle could punch you up to more like 65-gph. An off-shore run from San Francisco to Monterey took 5.5 hours at cruise in moderate conditions. About...

    370 Sundancer V drives question

    You say the boat will be kept in a "wet Slip". In my opinion, that is Inboard territory. People do keep outdrives in the water, but from a maintenance perspective, V-drive inboards are what you want. Especially in salt water. If the boat is coming out on a trailer, and living dry when not in...

    280 sundancer canvas install

    Everybody runs into issues :0) Bloody canvass shrinks when it is not installed. The tool is good! Sometimes it helps to get the canvass wet when attempting to stretch it back onto the boat. My best advice? Get it done when you are not in a hurry. Also, we put the little bungee connectors...

    What guns? I thought you gave them all to your neighbors?;0) Reminds me of that story about the Liberal driving through Montana. See's a man with a tie dye rainbow t-shirt, peace sign on the back, being attacked by a bear. Suddenly, out of nowhere, three Montana hunters show up, shoot the bear...

    Liberal with a gun locker here. Chiming in from California. I do not trust the US Government any further than I can toss an elephant. I would have to say the danger is at least as real as it ever was. Maybe more so because we imagine ourselves so advanced and civilized. I have experience with...

    "The truth is, people who are anti-gun aren't really anti-gun. They just don't want citizens to have guns, reserving that right for police and military solely. They simply want to centralize gun ownership to the governing bodies, and that is a mistake. Exactly the opposite of what our founding...

    I will give you propaganda is not completely new in the United States. I am not saying control of the information is new, I am saying it is more accepted, and more prevalent. FOX tells outright lies everyday. MSNBC twists the facts so badly it makes your eyes bleed. CNN has been called the...

    "What is wrong" was already asked....

    Great thread, good questions, good input. I agree the problem is not the guns. There is work to do on who can buy a gun. But, as a gun owner myself, I do lean toward protecting the 2nd amendment. My go-to statement is : 'in the history of the world a gun has never killed anybody all by itself'...

    2018 520 Sundancer

    I like the looks of the new 580, but I am too old school to appreciate the big black check marks in the topsides. For some reason the new style is to cut these, and big windows into the side of the hull. I did not even like the little windows in the front of our 2000 380DA but I made myself get...

    Please welcome new Advertiser "Bay Carpet"

    Welcome aboard CSR. I love to have vendors advertising here. CSR can be such a great resource, not only getting information from other boaters but checking the advertiser list here can save you some time figuring out who does what.

    on board tool set....

    I am working out the tools for our "new" 2005 280 Sundancer. I think either of the tool sets above would be a handy base for odd jobs. I think the craftsman one is more complete, but also much bigger. You have to consider available storage, the size of boat, the length of voyage, and the...

    2003 Sundancer 380 Gauge

    Crud! I see that now. Sorry! Maybe someone smarter than me will have the answer. flounderpounder .com was able to source some OE Tachs for our 380 Sundancer. They were Not exactly the same and were missing the SR Logo, but they fit in the cut-outs nicely and worked correctly. if you do not get a...

    Fishing boat run over by 31' boat...

    What I find fascinating is how "I could not see over the bow" seemed like an excuse. Rule-5 anybody? Clearly going 'too fast for the conditions'(Rule 6)and without a proper 'lookout', he hits a vessel 'engaged in fishing', from the stern (which makes him the overtaking vessel and subject to Rule...

    03 340 Sundancer alarm panel

    Just a thought along the lines of gdavis67. On our old sailboat, I missed a wire going to the fire extinguisher system. it had become corroded and, more or less, fell behind the battery box. I could not make the damn buzzer stop buzzing, but we were pretty sure the boat was NOT on fire. So I...

    Towing a 320 sundancer

    LOL, You know I completely believe this story. The law is pretty fuzzy in CA as well. Basically, if you look reasonable, drive reasonable, and conduct yourself with reasonable decorum, it is unlikely anyone will ever bother you about oversize restrictions. We got the permits anyway. And I may...

    Questions about 95 sundancer 290's

    What everybody above is recommending. A good surveyor can give you a really good idea of the work you are signing on for, with any given boat. I think I paid $500-$600 for the survey on our 280DA. Be there for the survey! The surveyor gave us a work list of what needed to be done, and he went...

    Distance from swim platform to water on 2011 195 Sport

    The swim platform to water distance has been discussed a lot on the 280 site. Differing with engines, drives, loads, equipment, and some mystery, something, nobody has figured out. Hopefully someone with a similar year model 195 can give you a rough idea, but I would suggest measuring when your...

    Towing a 320 sundancer

    I do not think you will regret your choice in trucks. Maybe you could do it with less, but we are supposed to be having fun with our boats, not white knuckling it down the interstate. "2018 3500 dually"! That thing must be a beast :0)
