Help me decide. Im stuck between two boats. It will be used in Coastal Charleston SC.
Boat 1 is a early 90s Searay 390. Gas motors, fairly fresh rebuilds. Up to date on service, bottom recently done. Its shaft drive. Typical classic seary, just huge for an express cruiser. 80s looking interior...
I had no idea it would be this hard selling a classic 270. It was priced right all year. Started at $16k (high I know) then have dropped it to $10k.
I've revised the price to $8. If it doesn't go this week Ill be parting it out. Let me know if anyone wants the engines.
Hi All,
I'm in a position where I have to sell my boat. I've spent $14k last summer and the boat is almost new. It is in Charleston SC. Twin 4.3s. Starboard side is new. Both New carbs. I installed AC, works well. Here is a list of everything, and I have receipts. I thought I'd post here...
Hi all, almost done with the 270 resto I hope. Did a water trial after the new power plants and drive rebuilds. Runs fantastic except.. starboard side gets stuck in gear and you can't move the shifter. It's intermittent. Cables are clear, interrupter switch is fine. No good reason and have run...
Has anyone had luck finding an online option for replacement canvas pieces for mid 80's Dancers? No one seems to have the templates.
I've tried 4 custom canvas shops now and I cant even get a return phone call or someone to go out and look at the boat to get me a price. I have the top,I'm just...
Decided to post this up, I see this a lot on here for smaller or older boats.
I purchased an 87 270 Sundancer that did not have Air Conditioning on board, so here is what I did. My skill level is about a 2 out of a 10, this is REALLY easy to do.Best of all, no mods to the boat.
What you...
Had a really skilled OMC mechanic at the boat today.
Starboard engine was running WAY rough and would stall going into reverse because it was missing pretty bad and couldn't bounce back after the shift stutter. Here is what we did:
On both engines, Replaced all plugs, plug wires, caps, coil...

Closed today on our 270! Love this boat. Coming from a 310 we sold in 2010. The 270 seems like its the same size. Never thought of looking at a 270 until I was on this one.
Pics to come.
Twin 5.7's with Bravo III stern drives.
Ran like a champ before We pulled it out and trailered it. Then relaunched, and starboard ran hot. (strange, it did'nt really have time to warm up). I caught it immediatly and shut it down.
any detailed instructions on what to check without pulling it...
i am shipping the boat from Charleston to Blythe Landing and slipping it at Kings Point (permenant slip). Is there a fellow sea ray owner who could give me a ride from the marina back to the landing to pick my car up by chance Monday late afternoon/ early eve? Would love to make a few new...
Well, After all the pain in the ass of trying to sell, we decided to bring it home to the Lake Norman this Monday.
Just not worth selling right now. TOUGH market. And you'll get offers at 40% of your asking price regardless of condition even if your asking price is well below the worth of the...
If anyone is looking for a larger cruiser, Im looking to downgrade to a smaller trailer size cruiser (24, 26ft). Not sure where to post this, but thought Id start here. Moderators, please move or delete if in appropriate.
Had this made for our 1999 310 Sundancer by great lakes. used for a few days. Selling the boat and these things don't seem to add value.
$600, free shipping.

Both sides bellows
