I'm definitely in the market for a windlass, but not sure if this will size right on a '94 270 Sundancer as there is hardly any deck space and I will need to McGyver the locker hatch to accommodate a windlass. (I'm thinking of cutting the hatch in half and then glassing in the windlass side with...

Pirate Lady, I have the same problem, the HWH literally melted from the bottom up. I haven't replaced it yet because it's towards the bottom of my fairly extensive punch list. I purchased the boat in the fall of 2019 (perfect timing!) It runs and looks great, but practically all of the...

The boat market is beyond crazy. My slip neighbor just sold his '02 260 Sundancer for $35k!!! The boat needs a thorough cleaning and freshening (looks a little raggedy) and it only has a 5.0L running a not in great shape Bravo 3. He sold it in two days w/over 50 calls!!! In 2019 he would have...

@NorCalBoater - 110% correct! Especially with carb engines - which tend to build up carbon deposits quicker then fuel injected engines. So thanks for the reminder to do at least a several minute WOT run once every few weeks just to get the cobwebs out! Everybody pay attention - that is excellent...

Hi PL - I couldn't agree with you more. Running at WOT for any length of time is plain stupid. In the 60+ hours of operating time I put on the boat so far - I probably only ran it at WOT for a total of 5-10 mins. The fuel burn out of that big block engine is insane at that RPM, but I wanted to...

Thanks Golfman! Yepper, power is now as reliable as it can be (considering it is a boat after all) and with all new batteries and starter, I don't anticipate any dockside "No start" fiascos. FYI - What I love most about this boat besides everything is the amount of space I now have in both the...

Hi Hani, I bought a 1994 Sundancer 270 this spring with the 7.4L - Bravo 1 setup and fortunately, a set of Bennet trim tabs (Love, love, love those trim tabs!). After half a season of running the boat pretty much every weekend and several weekdays and evenings, what your are describing seems...

Hi LDII - timing is everything and your last post is spot on for my issue. I have a new to me '94 Sundancer 270 with the OEM Lowrance 3500 depth finder as well. The shoot-thru-the-hull transducer is the problem, it's totally shot. My options are to either see if I can replace the OE Lowrance...

Hey Matt, Thanks for the welcome! Wow, from your profile pic I can see that your swim platform is HUGE - and it has a grill too! Okay, you might be right and I might have to re-prioritize my punch list. Depending on how this winter goes (and it ain't looking good) I'm hoping to be able to get to...

Hi All. I loved reading through this thread. Lots of owner knowledge that will help me out in bundles as I am going to be taking delivery of a '94 270 Sundancer in April, 2020, and I DIY 90% of the work on my boats. This is going to be my first SeaRay and frankly, I'm really psyched! The boat...
