    Best cruising speed for a 260DA?

    3750 RPM - Bravo II drive (big wheel) 24 - 27 MPH at 11.8 - 13.8 GPH depending on fuel, water, people on board, etc., etc. Engine gettting built up and chomping at the bit to get her back.

    Update on major engine failure

    And again, the Forum saves me money. I guess in the next tear down, I'll just get a new Sea Core or rebuild engine from Jasper or something to that effect. Thanks guys!

    Update on major engine failure

    Cape Cod: That's why I was thinking I would do this via Sea Ray. If there is a issue post repair, I am HOPING that they will standby their work. The shop in town here has a pretty good reputation. I will update one last time after I get her back possibly this week.

    Update on major engine failure

    Ocean: I definitely do. I use the salt away product as well. I am going to add draining the cooling loop as well. Lets see what happens after the fresh water cooling system is installed.

    New 2010 280 Sundancer Major Issues - what to do?

    I am so sorry this is happening to you. I too have had minor problems, but just run of the mill. Most things I could fix myself. I agree with JV II on the impellar issues. My boat is an 05, purchased in 08 with 30 min on her. First thing out the chute, impellars. Gen and drive. Thinking cause it...

    Update on major engine failure

    Original Post: Major engine failure Was 30 min into a cruise and the alarm sounded. A quick look at the gauges while throttling down showed temp, oil pressure, RPM and speed to be normal. Before I could get all the way down to idle, the Smart Craft system beat me to it and shut the engine...

    Major engine failure

    Sure will Skolbe. Just hating it if the root issue ends up being those risers. It what it is, still love my boat and just thought (there is the main problem, me thinking) that I was doing all my maintainence on time and taking care of things. Just never know I guess.

    Thoughts/comments on these two 2003 34 Sundancers

    My 3 cents, take the warrantied boat...unless you can get the same warranty thrown into the deal on the fresh. Main concern is warranty. I am about to drop $1500 - $3000 for a engine problem. I had a year and then extended another year and now i am out. Warraties are a low cost item for any big...

    Be sitting down, not eating or drinking when you read this one!

    Or you may choke while laughing your ass off at me. I again will swallow my pride and share my most latest blunder in hopes others will not have to enjoy my morning. This is a true story that just finished up only 30 min. ago. Again, i am admitting to this. You can never get too comfortable...

    Thanks. Started with 30 min on her and 1 year and 7 months later at 438 as of this morning. Just came off the water this morning after an overnight on Cat island on the Wando. Brought my 50 foot extension cord and watched the Carolina / Clemson game on the beach on my little 15 in. LCD. Brought...

    260 Sundancer Thread.........Comments questions and answers

    The paint is just lower than the pinstripe and then extends lower towards the bow, which of course is following the waterline. Looks perfect in the water and when on plane you can see the paint, but no big deal.

    I just had to get my 05 260 with all your options refi"d due to a divorce situation. PM me and I'll tell you what I purchased her for and the following will make sense. I had a TOUGH time getting the loan redone into my name only. With my road king triple axle I was finally able to get my local...
