2006 Sea Ray 260 Sundancer - Bridge clearance

[SJWhitten]

Does anybody know the full height of the 2006 Sea Ray 260 Sundancer with arch, light, and antenna? I am looking at buying one, but I'm concerned it won't fit in my boat house. I need to be sure. Does the light fold down, or is it fixed? Thanks in advance.

Answered my own question - 9' from waterline to top of arch plus another 1' for the light.

You left out the most important part of the question. Will it fit in your boat house?

It will fit! I have 11'2" clearance

Excellent! That mush be awesome to have your boat at your house, with it’s own house no less!

Well, it would be, except the deal I was working on fell through. A guy who called about the boat yesterday committed to buy it before I could even see it Back to the drawing board.

The plot thickens..... The owner of the boat I was looking at shared a PDF of the 2006 owners manual that says 9' from waterline to top of arch plus another 1' for the light - 10' total. That's perfect; it fits. Owners Manual also says 10'10" from KEEL to top of arch. Is 10" from keel to waterline reasonable?

In the meantime, I messaged Sea Ray just to see if I could get info from them (before I got the PDF), and they say it's 10'10" from waterline to top of arch plus light and 13' from keel to top of arch. They said the owner's manual must be a misprint.

I have ~11'2" clearance to get in my boat house. So 10' total (arch + light) is no problem. But 11'10" (10'10" plus 1' light) IS a problem.

Does anybody know for sure? Thanks.
