Boatless in Chattanooga

[SDCochrum]

I am looking forward to reviewing the forum's trying to find out what boat would best fit my needs (family of three, overnight on the lake, prefer to trailer). I would like to get a Sundancer in the 26'-29' range. If anybody has leads on a good boat or any suggestions, I would appreciate your knowledge.:smt100

Have you checked with Erwin Marine in Chattanooga? Good guys.

I have visited with them a few times, unfortunately they do not have much in the used market right now in the 26-29 range. Thanks.

Depending on how much boating experience you have, and what you feel comfortable handling, I would definitely recommend a 280 Sundancer. A lot of 260DA owners are unhappy due to listing/rolling when getting up on plane.

Good luck, there's a lot of inventory out there.

I would like to use any boat I get to anchor in the lake overnight whenever I can find the time. Based on that, I have had several dealers tell me not to buy their used 260s, they said I would be unhappy with the rolling.

Thanks for the input.

Have a look at a 290 Sunsport.

Not sure on your price range, but a quick search on www.boats.com came up with a 2002 for $60,000, as well as some various 2004's for around $130,000+. Very luxurious boats. Fast, sleek.
