I agree completely. I will get the service history and let you know. From what I understand, it was used at least a weekend a month for a few hours during the regular season.never sat for extreme extended times...like 6 months,.was also winterized each year. Still...it did sit and would require...

I hear ya about the drive, it's the only part that has me the most concerned. I would speculate it would be wise to replace the seals, hoses, bellows, etc but haven't searched all the costs. The engine and drive are original with about 55 hours total. I guess it depends on what the selling...

Within this area I've seen quite a few 28-30' cruisers in that price range, the 30'ers generally around 32-38K with some hours on them. When I say $25-35K, numbers have been thrown around and I think $35-38K on the higher side but unsure of what I need to bring this up to ready status. How much...

No trailer unfortunately, haven't discussed pricing but I'm guessing anywhere between $25-35K

I looked at a buddies 01' 280DA this weekend and overall it's in great shape but have a few questions regarding course of action. The boat has roughly 60 total hrs on it, been in water most of it's life with little use. Was professionally winterized in the late fall of 2017 and hasn't been ran...

Absolutely. I’d be more apt to spend more on a reliable and well-maintained engine/drive and electrical than the cost of fuel. I completely agree. Not going to let a tank of fuel keep us from going out for the day. I just wish the 280DA had a larger tank. Maybe 125-140 gal but still not a...

@PMC we must have replied at the same time...I'll check out those links. 1.5 MPG isn't terrible for that setup, I'll expand my search. Of course a 10.3' beam is reaching past towing back and forth to the house....:) But I understand that kind of boat stays in the water.

Thanks @Gofirstclass...that's great advice. I want to say I'm halfway there....after spending some search time on a 240 Sundancer, 2465 Commodore, and a 2660 Martinique, the 280 Sundancer with it's wider beam is where I was looking to move up to. OTOH, with the prices of some boats I've seen, a...

As my first post, wanted to say hi and looks to be a wealth of info and friendship here. Been on boats many times, never owned one..mainly contributed to fuel costs and helping clean. We had a boat growing up but I was in grade school, later years were friends' boats. I had my eye on a 240...
