    Hi All, After searching the threads here, I'm posting to see if there may be further info available from the members. 2003 260 Sundancer.

    Boat prices coming down? looks like it.

    Some of this may be anecdotal but from what I'm seeing at the Jersey shore and from several conversations at the marina, it appears that there may well be a record number of folks looking to sell at the end of this season and they are willing to take a considerable amount less than they would...

After pricing out a new one, I couldn't justify going for over $1000 dollars due to the age of the boat...

    AC Boat Show/Too many center console boats

    Just back from this show. I was mightily dismayed. 98 percent of the boats were these ghastly center consoles with little or no cabins. They were like open plastic tubs with numerous mammoth outboards affixed to them. No character at all and even worse, no areas of shade except for the hardtop...
