Calling all 360 DA owners

Phasma said:
I can not tell you how many times someone has approached me and said my 360 seems to be the perfect size boat. Not too big and not too little. I can tell you I spent most of last summer living aboard my 360 quite comfortably. The only draw back is that 2 foot-itis no longer applies. When it is time to upgrade the 360 is just big enough to wet my appetite for a much larger boat. I would suspect my next leap will be to a 44....lord help me the insanity continues.....

Yeah the 2 ft-itis is real for sure. My next I've been looking at diesel Sedan Bridge 42-44's for a a while but the Admiral is loving the Sundancer Style as am I so I guess the 42-44 SD will be the one. My only slight issues are the bed is a tad short for a 6'ft guy and I'd like a little more "entertaining room below deck" for those lousy weather days. But those are just being picky. But whatever is next is Diesel, this is remarkably fuel efficient in my opinion. Everyone says they hate fueling up, I dont mind it it lets me know how much enjoyment we are getting out of her!
 
Thinking our next should be a DB as well. I've never had to pay attention to it but John do you think a 48 DB would fit under the railroad bridge?
 
I know a 42-44 will lol!! Not sure on the 48 overall height though.
 
Hehe...i'll let you go first with the upgrade.
 
Ok ok, if I must LOL!
 
Found that thread I was talking about (changing the impellers):
http://clubsearay.com/showthread.ph...in-8-1-s-with-Pictures?highlight=8.1+impeller

Any of you fellows change your own impellers? The above link was done on a '03-'08 340DA, I'm guessing it's similar on the 360.

I'm planning on doing a fair amount of maintenance myself (like oil changes, manifolds, impellers, plugs, wires, etc), so I want to approach this purchase with my eyes wide open.


P.S. counter offer was verbally accepted!

Fantastic!! Welcome to the 360 family

There is a ton of info here on all the maintenance and it will save you big money, time, aggravation and busted knuckles.
 
We took 1st boat ride of the year this weekend. I spent most of Saturday washing and cleaning. I had the impellers changed last week. During our ride, I cycled through my smatcraft readings. My water pressure smatcraft reading for port side were normal based on RPM. However, my starboard water pressure was maxed out at 43.4. No alarms and engine temp was normal. Is there a sensor that maybe was bumped loose during the impeller replacement? Thoughts?
 
Good luck on the purchase! We love ours and cant wait to get back out this season. 4 more weeks till launch day.
Does anyone here have pictures (and comments) of their dinghy davit system? I'm looking at Hurley and some others. My current zodiac is 11'2" and I've been told it is too long.
Thanks for the help.
 
Does anyone know what battery is for starting the generator? On my previous 300DA, the generator battery was isolated, so it was easy to tell.
 
So, here's a few pictures of the TV re-do in the forward v-berth. It is off center on the panel, due to having to clear the upper deck coaming with the upper left corner of the TV when it is hinged open.
 
Thats a very good question, I THINK its just into the starboard starting battery. I'll have to investigate next time I'm in there.

it is meant to show that the tv is attached directly to the panel...
 
Here's the front view - if the picture is attached! I'm having one heck of a time attaching pictures to this...
Sorry about that...
