Naaaaaaw mate, we all make that same mistake by being boat owners! I will make it again at some point in the (hopefully) near future.

I want to sincerely thank everyone for their time, responses and valuable input. We have decided not to purchase this particular boat, but will keep looking. Again, many thanks to all.

I agree with your conclusion. Got to see it. A few more issues. There was a lot of water on the cabin carpet just forward of the head door. Also a lot in the bilge under the steps. Was told the cabin door had been left open during recent rain storm. But they also had all the aft cave mattresses...

They posted a video here: You can see him try to start the genny about 1:30 into the video. Kinda sounds like what you are saying but hard go tell over the noise of the main engines and wind. They are asking 24.5K. Seems high to me for the issues.

Thanks Captain.

Thanks for that info. I will discuss it with them. Trying to get a day set to actually see it and inspect any and all issues with my own surveyor in tow. Not sure what their knowledge level is, and there can also be a lot of other more minor reasons that it didn't start like not having the gen...

Thank you for all that info!!! If we decide to purchase, I'll have you make another one! Sorry, just kidding. You did a great job. Thanks again.

Thank you. I'll let ALCON know if I buy it so I can decide just how to go with the seat. I called Sea Ray, and unfortunately none of the parts as per the listing above are available, so it would probably be a simple fold down seat. Really appreciate everyone's help and responses here. Great info...

I'll ask.

That would be my concern - would need to know just how the original worked with the double hinge, etc. I've seen pics of other 280's with it out and folded, but they don't show the bottom and how a double hinge worked. I wouldn't want to build something that then interferes with the hatch...

I'll ask them if they (the Marine Center it is at) can/will repair. Understand the repair cost potentials. That will be a major negotiation issue, more so than the missing seat.

Boat is being sold by a marine center they took in. PO not in the picture and MC just said it was missing when they took it in. Concur with the pricing aspect. All understood. Used boats are what they are....still a hole in the water that sucks money into the vortex!

Only recently on market. Issues were from a survey report. Will definitely bargain the best guesstimate costs into final offer. Thanks...

Thanks.... it is the bottom seat that is missing. The upper bolster is still there. Attaching a pic. No hinge seen, just four items in the stern bulkhead. Not sure what those are for. If anyone has pics as to how the legs, hinge etc. all attach then perhaps I could try to make a replacement...

Hello all, Looking at a 2001 SR 280 Sundancer to replace our smaller boat. Engines appear to be good as well as all systems. Only 2 issues are: 1. - the genny - turns over well but won't run ( marine center states tune up required) and 2. - the rear cockpit fold down bench seat is missing. Some...
