    2000 SeaRay Sundancer 460 for Sale

    Sorry, no pictures at this time but working on it. I am the third owner of this boat. It spent most of its life in a lake in Colorado until the previous owner moved it to Ft. Myers in 2018. He sold it to me at the end of 2019. It has been in Boynton Beach ever since. It is equipped with 2...

    Warranty Issue

    I recently upgraded my boat (2000 460 DA) to all new Garmin electronics. The transducer failed. Now the installer is telling me that the transducer fitting has also failed. All is under warranty. The installer will not pay for the haulout. I feel that since the entire warrantied system failed...

    20 Year Old Boat in for Maintenance

    My 2000 460DA was hauled out of the water three weeks ago for some maintenance. When the boat yard hauled the boat, they pressure washed the hull which completely destroyed the water line vinyl stripe on the port side. It was already in the "need to be replaced" stage. I never realized how...

    Seeing Daylight for the First Long Cruise

    We had planned to bring our 460 Sundancer to New England this past summer but the Covid thing happened and thus our plans never happened...maybe next summer. Meanwhile, we have had our boat better than 9 months and have only accomplished day trips, well, OK one overnight but even that was cut...

    SureShade on 460 DA with Radar Arch

    Love my 460 DA but during these dog days of summer it is difficult to have guests and lounge around the cockpit as the sun cooks everyone. I recently was reading about SureShade and was wondering if anyone has installed this on their 460DA? If you have it, did you do the manual or the...

    Cleaning the Raw Water Intake Baskets

    My mechanic originally suggested I clean those every other month. I cleaned them last month and then had my diver at my boat for bottom cleaning a few days ago. His report stated he had pulled a lot of growth from the raw water intakes and suggested I clean the baskets. I pulled the baskets...

    July 4th

    I found a quiet cove along the ICW about .3 miles south of Atlantic Ave. on the East Side of the ICW. I have anchored there several times. I will be there tomorrow in the late afternoon and will be there into the early evening, weather permitting. My boat's name is "Sea - Nile" and will be...

    First long distance trip with this boat.

    Well, sort of long distance. My wife and I want to give the boat a good workout prior to making the round trip to New England next summer. I have planned a trip from Boynton Beach to Key West via Hawks Channel. The first night is planned at Pilot House Marina in Key Largo and we will spend a...

    Guest head vent

    I am very hesitant to say this out loud for fear of putting a hex on the boat but everything on my boat was working. After a day with guests, we did the clean up and my wife informed me that the vent in the guest head was not working. As with most electrical things that do not work when the...

    Racor Diesel Fuel Filters

    I purchased a 2000 SeaRay 460DA back in December. In April my mechanic and I set out to set up a baseline for future maintenance. We changed nearly every hose in the Cummins and Westerbeke. All new oil and fuel filters along with zincs. You get the picture. The last item on the list was to...

    Boynton Beach Inlet and Boca Raton Inlet

    I used to know all the inlets in South Florida like the back of my hand but I am recently back into boating after a 25 + years hiatus. Both inlets can be tricky and before I utilize them I would like to pick people's brains on "local knowledge" factors of both inlets. I would be appreciative...

    Raymarine electronics for sale

    Everything was in good working condition when it was removed from my boat two weeks ago with the exception of the autopilot 650. The autopilot worked but the 650 was not displaying. The autopilot can be controlled from the E120. Most cables and wires. All the books. E120 bezel has a couple...

    Transom door hinge

    Searched the forum and couldn't find any reference to the above. I just acquired a 2000 460 Sundancer. The previous owner took meticulous care of the boat and it looks like new. I was wondering what people do to keep the transom door hinge lubed and prevent it from corroding? Also do you use...

    Keeping the Tanks Full?

    When my car gets to 1/2 a tank, I top it off. When I had airplanes, I topped the fuel tanks off before putting the plane to bed. It helped prevent condensation i.e., water collecting in the fuel tanks. Back in the days when I had gasoline powered boats, I put the boat to sleep with 1/2 tanks...

    Doing the Happy Dance

    Been searching for the right boat for nearly 6 months which included flying up and down the east coast, renting countless cars, staying in countless hotel rooms and putting over 12,000 miles on my car driving around Florida. We actually had contracts on 4 boats. The first boat had an engine...

    460 Sundancer

    If the survey goes OK, I'll be buying a 2000 SeaRay 460 Sundancer. The cockpit had an ice maker that apparently quit and the owner never replaced it. I would like to put a refrigerator in that space. What do you recommend? I do not have the dimensions right now but will next week.

    2000 460 Sundancer

    This coming Tuesday is the Survey and Sea Trial of a 2000 460 Sundancer with twin Cummins Diamond Series 6CTA 8.M engines. This boat shows nearly new and has only 750 hours total time. I am concerned about the low usage but I'm told it spent most of its life on a lake in Colorado. I'm very...

    Electric Sofa in the main salon and aft stateroom.

    Purchasing a 2000 460 Sundancer. The broker showed us how both sofas open up flat and convert to a sleeper. However, he could not get either sofa back into the "sofa position", leaving the boat that way saying he would call the owner to see if there was a trick. I spoke with him today on the...
