Looking at buying this boat for use in the Florida Keys fishing diving snorkeling island hopping question is how.. how does this boat do in the ocean... I've only ran 25 foot center consoles in the ocean.... Also can anybody tell me what the fuel range is on this boat..
1984 .26 ft Sea Ray Sundancer twin screw

We aren't ignoring you. That was a fairly rare boat having the twin 470s. Hang in there, someone will have some info.

I know it's a little late but I have a 80 260 dancer with twin 470s on the Gulf coast, about 90 miles north of you. Does pretty well but I never go far off shore. Twins makes the boat quite a$$ heavy and with a full tank and 6-7 people on board I can have trouble getting up on plane unless I move people forward till I get up. Twin 140s I can imagine would make it worse. I've never ran my tank down a long ways but I can spend a day out cruising on about $100
