Sea Grass 260 Sundancer
New Member
Hello from Vancouver, Canada. This is my first post to CSR, which is appropriate, as this summer we bought our first boat, which turned out to be our first Sea Ray. We ended up purchasing a 2006 260 Sundancer, with the 350 Merc and Bravo III leg. The boat had just 59 hours on it, and we have happily added 10 more in the past few weeks.
I happened to learn about this site when I was searching the net to gain information on the "tippiness" of our boat. In fact, tippy is a polite way of saying, at times it wants to act like a submarine! It was to say the least, a little unnerving the first time out, but I've since learned to trim using the drive and the trim tabs, but even then, she is still very unstable with any weight shifts, or even small rollers.
I was hoping some of the other owners of the 260 might be able to offer some ideas of any further ways to help reduce the tippiness. Perhaps I will just learn to live with it, but unless the water is dead calm, it makes for a fairly tense ride. Definitely no wine for the passengers while underway! (Just whining).
So if you have some thoughts to share, I am very keen to hear them, and I must say, it's nice to belong to a boating club for our first time. Regards, Sea Grass
