hey guys im resurrecting this thread. I just purchased a 2009 290 SD w 496. Its got the windless, grill, fridge, vaccuflush, it's loaded up and very clean. One thing it is missing is shore power. I was curious as to how much that 12v fridge pulls? I was considering removing the fridge, as...

Just purchased a 09- 290 Sundeck and cannot wait to get it in the water. Any 290 owners on here?

so update, after a lot of me trying to get ahold of the salesmen he initially said that it was done, making me feel like I was going to have to fight this, which I was prepared to do with a yacht survey done and pictures that documented the manifolds, so I would be able to compare pictures from...

yeah i knew before I asked but wanted to be 100% about the entire manifold being replaced, and so Ill let you guys know what the dealer says and how it goes especially since its a huge dealer on the East coast, which may have to be a whole nother thread to explain my experience and warn other buyers

Hey guys, new Sea Ray owner and new to the forum, picked up a 2009 sundeck with the 496 B3. Browsed through the forum and website and others and cant find any talk about the 290 sundeck. I see 240-260-270 but no 290. They recently brought the 290 back and IMO its beautiful. My question is...
