Just wondering if anyone could help out here I am looking at a 1997 290 sundancer with the 4.3 twins and bravo one. I have haggled the price down to £20k or $26.6k is this a good price? ThanksNobody that knows?
Sure!Anyone still here? Should I bother posting?
I have a 1995 290 and I'll bet that I can give you a run for your money about "working on it..." pics! One owner salt water dock queen-now in fresh water-which has tried to sink me twice over the past two days!Looks like its just you and me. LOL I'm working on a 1996 290. Will post pics soon.
Oh wow! You win! I don't even want to compete with that. My current list of fixes is mostly cosmetic, except for the taking on water while sitting at the dock due to a loose hose clamp on the cooling intake, batt charging issues, and stalling EVERY time I shift from neutral to gear.....very fun when trying to dock at the end of a narrow fairway in the wind.
I should try to post some pics here, too. I don't have many posts but I do spend a lot of time reading themWell, I tried to post pictures, but I either don't know how or don't have enough posts to do so.
PS. I'm still trying to find an owners manual for a 1996
Looks great. I love the bow light.That's a nice looking boat. Mine came out of SC and is now in NY.

The shifting issue on your boat is eather the knock down switch or lower shift cable. If shift cable is sticky it will hold switch too long and stall engine
That is the current theory. I'm hoping that is all it is.The shifting issue on your boat is eather the knock down switch or lower shift cable. If shift cable is sticky it will hold switch too long and stall engine
It's actually a nice looking boat; well equipped with windlass, generator (134 hrs), a/c, hot water (brand new) and the dinette seating option. It's getting Garmin radar, heading sensor, touch screen chart plotter, Airmar bronze transducer and a new ICOM VHF and antenna. It should be a very capable Lake Ontario boat.
It is clear that there was a major amount of maintenance performed, and some expensive replacements (canvas, transom plates etc...), over the years and still I've put 8 to 10 hour days in over the past two months replacing and bringing up to snuff the engines and running gear. Although I didn't pay much for this boat and trailer-and have scrounged NOS and replacement parts relatively cheap-I will probably not consider a salt water boat for any future purchases. I have one more day of bellows, trim senders and lower shift cables before I can even put it back in the water so late in the season and will finish the electronics and lighting upgrades if she stays afloat in the slip this time!
