    Looking at 270 Sundancer

    I have a 98 270SE on lake Erie and she handles well. I once cruised from Lakefront Marina to pelee island in 5 to 7 footers with no problem. Wouldn't do that on a regular basis though.

    Two happiest days of your life

    Though I love my 98 270 I bought used in 2005, I still miss my 1980 260 I bought used in 2002. I think it had the better lay out down below but I just though I better get something a little newer.

    When is it too hot to go boating?

    It's an anchor out or dinghy ride to the sandbar for me. I'll sit in the water drinking a cold beverage watching the dog swim. Otherwise I'll go swimming in the pool or sit in the air conditioned community room. Most likely I'll be at the sand bar like last weekend. They were predicting 98...

    Difference between DA and SE?

    I immediately upgraded to a 6 gallon tank. However, I am still thinking of upgrading to a vacuflush in my head with a holding tank. Plenty of room in my engine compartment for a holding tank. Otherwise I love the 270SE. I like to refer it as a crossover. A larger runabout or a small cruiser...

    Difference between DA and SE?

    SE is actual "special Edition" 270 which were only made in 1998 and 1999. The beam is 8'6" for trailering. The regular DA beam is 9'2". There are a couple of threads pros and cons about the difference betweeen the two models.
