Also, has anyone replaced their steering wheel? If so, with what? Just curious.

Last season I noticed my swim platform rub rail was loose and had used adhesive to get it back on which worked. I should have also screwed it because it is gone. That being said, I see I can buy U-shaped trim by the foot. Any idea how many feet is needed and how it should be attached? Screws...

Thank you for all the great feedback. Rivers Edge does seem to be the best option even though it is a little further away. If the move is made, I see that my boating experience will be a little different than my current one. Which is not a bad thing. Thanks again!

Jim, out of curiosity do many folks have cruisers if you even know? I see a lot of deckboats and center consoles. Do folks anchor or just mainly do day trips? I see that most marinas dry stack. Just different experiences then the Chesapeake. Thanks!

Question, we are considering a move to the Charleston area specifically Mt. Pleasant. We are currently in the Annapolis area and am trying to figure out what would be a good marina for my 280DA. Here, I am in a wet slip and then pull out in the winter until spring. What are the "procedures"...

I guess I need to figure out where my transducer is.

Perfect! Thanks so much!!

Ok simple question but I just don't know the answer. Does the depth finder on the gauges tell you depth from bottom of the boat or water line? It seems simple and obvious but I am looking to confirm. Thanks!

Jim, Ordered 2 tix as well. Thanks! I didn't specify Friday which is the day we would go. Sorry about that. Jason

Re: 2014 Annapolis Power Boat Show Discounted Tickets - Order by 3 October - Thanks J Thanks for the heads up! I ordered 2 for Friday. Jason

This helps. I just saw the Winterizing forum so I will have a little reading to do.

\ Can you define winterizing things? This is my first year that I will winterize a boat so trying to see what needs to be done. Thanks!

All great information. We ended up getting a '06 280 because of the, "get as big as you can afford" thought process. So glad we did and have already thought about next one. That being said, make sure you do your due diligence with a boat survey and have a mechanic look at the engine. The...

Hey Jim, it was. I started heading out that way from the Magothy and turned around and stayed in the river. Didn't feel like dealing with it. Unfortunately had to travel today for work so didn't enjoy today which I heard was nice.

Excellent! Thanks!

Went out for the first time Friday & Saturday and had a blast. I noticed that over the blower vent is a cap or something that is loose. It seems to be something you attach with an adhesive? What do you do to "glue" it back on? It's on the port side at the stern of the boat.

Ok, I get it. No pictures, it didn't happen. Trying to add it to my signature.

Welp, I got my first picture of our new to us 280DA. Orientation tomorrow afternoon. Very excited about bringing it to our home port.

Re: Potential Sea Ray Owner: Is the 240 models from 2000-2006 a good beginner cruise That is a concern that the wife has. With twins it should be easier and I am getting time with a Capt.which will train me. Long week of waiting. I'm ready to go.
