We also have a 260 Sundeck. Bought it new last year and put almost 100 hrs on it in the first year. We simple LOVE this boat. A much better ride that our previous boat - a 20 ft. Crownline bowrider. Definitely go with the 350 MAG!
I have a 2011 260 Sundeck and I can say without a doubt that this boat is simple great! Got it in mid march and we now have just over 50 hrs on her. Can't say enough good things about this boat and Searay
Might have a chance at a good price at a 2008 - 240 Sundeck (brand new from last year) but it has a 5.0 MPI. I always thought that the 5.0 MPI was underpowered for that boat but I really don't know. Anyone know what the real different is and what to expect (or no to).
Again, any thoughts...
I can say that right now we have a 20ft Crownline and we've really enjoyed the boat this summer but after a year we are ready to move up (the 2+ foottitis) and after much searching we have our eyes on Searay's SD240 :grin:
I saw this on youtube - is this you?

If so, is your exhaust open? Could you give us a open and closed exhaust version of this? Many thanks.

So it sounds like you were in my position (I wanted to say boat but you know . . . ) a few years ago. So you really know what I'm talking about (also with the 19-20 ft Crownline with the Alpha drive)). Is it a Crownline thing that they wander going forward at slow speeds? When you say steering...
I mean, that the 210 and 230 Sundeck look a little different at the stern then, for example, the 220 or 240 Sundeck.
At our dealership, there are two flipup buckets seats which suggests that there might be a second layout option.
The reason for the 230 instead of the 240 is the jump in...
According to the Sea Ray website the base MSRP on the 230 Sundeck with a 5.0 L B3 is $61K whereas the 240 Sundeck with the same engine and drive is $57K. Similarly for the 350 Mag with a B3 drive, $65,5 vs $61,9. So I guess I don't understand - a bigger boat for less money. :huh:
I'm thinking of moving up in size and the 230 Sundeck has caught my eye. Is it my imagination or has the line of Sea Ray changed? If so, what's people impression - good, bad or in different? With so many Sea Ray owners on this site, I figured I'd ask here.
