Where would I find the article or thread your referring to from the person who added a genset to his 280DA?

I'm sorry I just noticed your last sentence. Didn't see it before. Yes I had a great time with your friends. Really nice people and very nice new boat they just got. QUOTE=Cincy Aquaholic;944577]I realize $6k is not chump change by any means but I actually think it would be worth it to go...

Yes, that is for a factory installed genset like the boat would have come with. I'm trying to find other brands/installers to get more quotes on aftermarket. Suggestions?

I have a factory installed CO detector and another that I installed. I have checked into getting a factory installed genset added but the best quote I've got so far is 6K. For 6k I guess I don't really need one that bad. I know portables are frowned upon and I can understand why. If I can't use...

Ok, so I guess scratch the idea of putting the generator in the engine compartment. Is it worth it to convert the Honda to propane? No fuel vapors, don't have to mess with extra gas on the boat, and the propane would have lower carbon monoxide emissions than a factory installed genset? Selling...

Ok, I've got a 07 290 Sundance with no Genset. I have a brand new Honda eu2000i generator and I know about the dangers of carbon monoxide. What I'm considering doing is converting the Honda eu2000i to propane to reduce emissions. Ok so I would either run this on the swim platform or.... option 2...

[ i looked into that but I have V axles under my trailer and I could only lower it about 4-5 inches before the axles would hit the ground. QUOTE=almostenuff;919752]Is it possible to modify the wheels or trailer to lower it. I see tiny (relative) wheels on monster trucks for transport. Sent...

There is a place in Michigan called Barrett boat works that hinges arches. I saw some photos that were examples of their work and the hinges and setup looks exactly like your. That might be who did it.

Sorry guy I wasn't on here for a few days. I really appreciate the pics and the contact info. I will call the individual in Michigan and also if you happen to get any contact info from the broker let me know. You guys are all a great help.

That is EXACTLY what I want. I wish we knew who did that. Heck I would even be happy with if it was manual. Beautiful boat BTW! When your in there snapping pics get a few of the hinge too if you don't mind. Also the others you spoke of would be perfect too because I'd love to get this thing at...

Wow that was much appreciated. I would love to have the hydraulic feature but with the additional cost involved I really can operate it manually. I guess I really need to determine if I can gain 18" of clearance by doing this?

I have thought about a good cover or shrinking but j really like to do all my own maintenance and like to do all my upgrades over the winter and my polebarn is heated. I'd just love to be able to utalize that. I may just remove the arch completely for this winter if I'm not able to complete this...

I just sent masterfab a PM. I'll see if he has some advice. Hopefully I. An get it all figured out soon but if not it might just have to be removed all together for this winter. Removing the arch completely is still better that paying storage when I already have a building.

Would you be able to snap a few pics of your arch where it hinges and the hinge and pins?

So if I was to hinge the arch you think it would rotate forward off of the alignment pins without me having to remove them? Also where would I begin to have a hinge fabricated?

Well the only problem with that is my barn is totally finished inside. Walls, ceiling, lights, fans, and the floor is concrete. When I built the barn I had a 40ft class A rv and never thought I would be trying to store anything that was taller than that. Just my luck

In order to totally remove the arch I would have to make all my wiring connections in the arch quick disconnect I assume.

There is not enough room to add a larger door to the building. I wish there was but I have a 12' door and a 13' ceiling. I did think about just removing the l arch in the fall when I store the boat and reinstalling in the spring when I take it back to the lake but I was told that not only is the...

Has anyone ever hinged the arch in a 2006-2008 290 sundancer? On the trailer the boat is 13' 5". I want to put the boat in my storage building with a 12' door. I'm aware that I would need to have a stainless hinge made and a good fiberglass guy to reenforce the arah and repair. No one produces...

Oh and the one at lake Norman does have a genset but seller is firm on the price.
