Hello all. Hope everyone is well. Got caught up enjoying my new 270 so much this summer i lost track of the site. Well unfortunately my boat is pulled for the winter. Good news its nearby home in heated storage where i can go and fiddle with it over the winter.
Looking forward to spring...
Finally took delivery of my new 270 select! Though weather hasn't been too nice or warm enough to get out on it. But I must say,sitting on the patio of our lake house looking out at that new Select sure is nice! Looking forward to warmer weather!

I hope to Launch by May 1st here on Lake Erie.
Last summer up here was a strange one with 20 mile per hour winds from the north. This typical produces 4 foot waves , making boating not quite as fun.
Fortunately I have a pair of jet skiis which can be fun in these conditions.
I am also on...
I am closing on my soon to be new 270 slect tomorrow. Although it sounds odd, they still do not have it shipped to Ohio yet. IT should be here in the next week or so.
Lets hope i dont get screwe on this one!

How is thwe height of the seat/bolster on the 270 select?
Is a telescoping base necessary?
On about every boatI have owned, the seat even with bolster up was seemed to low to see throw/over the windshield.

I really like the black slects you guys have! Looking forward to getting mine in the water this spring.
Did anyone have a chance to read my earlier post a few days back regarding Wax?
Thanks

When shoppoing for 09 models Marine max was down to 4 left. By the time i was able to pull the trigger, this was the last one left. I would rather have the black or Dark blue But overall this has many of the options I wanted.
The only thing it didnt have was the Thru Hull exhaust.
This...
Also, not trying to be annoying here, but still can't figure out how to add pictures to my posts/profile. When i go through the process , nothing seems to save to site?
Any quick tips would be appreciated.
Thanks again.

Hello everyone. Looks like our thread is running dry. Not much new here. Should be taking dleivery on my new 2009 270 Select in the next month or so. I turned in my 2007 260 da as trade last week. They are surveying the boat now. I am looking forward to getting my boat and begin prepping...
Tim:
Interesting on where you got your boat and the fact it was from Port Clinton. Pretty sad, but i was tiold it was a brand new boat never titled, so i didnt think to ask on the hours?
I am going to ask next.
They also told me they could make my 260da trailer work for this boat.
The...
Thanks Tim! I appreciate the feedback
I purchased one with the 496 , sports arch, powerwindlass, pumpable head, refrigerator, etc, etc.
Purchase through Marine MAx in Port Clinton , Oh. It was the last 09 they had whioch needs to be shipped from Oklahoma.
As stated, lake Erie can stir up...
Although the 260 is a bit heavier it does only have the 8.5 beam. But I also believe it has a much higher center of gravity, sitting up higher out of the water. This would make it rock and roll something fierce.
The scarrier issue which cause me to fear the darn boat was the severre list it...
Thanks for the quick responses. I purchased a 2007 260da sundancer last spring for use on lake Erie off the shores of Ohio. The 260 looks beautiful but handles poorly in boat chop and simple 2-4 waves. Felt like i was on a rocking shair going side ways. It also suffered from a terrible list...
I am in the process of closing on a new 2009 270 select slx.
Can anyone comment on their experience with the the 270 select's? Looking for thoughts opinions on its stability, comfort, features, power, etc.
Thanks!
