We just got my father in laws 2006 340 dancer to keep an eye on for him. (was sitting in storage during the long winters up north). When I found this forum I thought it was a good place to ask basic questions about the boat.
1) When we take the boat out at high speeds do any of you leave your canvas on? We have been leaving the t-top canvas and the sides on...will that hurt anything?
2) Is there a better alternative to the "snap" portion of the canvas. This seems to be the most time consuming thing when bringing the boat in after each trip.
3) After how many hours would we find ourselves refueling for longer trips at extended cruising speed? We have 2, 8.1 Mercs 250 gals total. I know it's hard to say but any guesses?
4) Can I ride on the sun-pad while the boat is in motion?
5) Any tips on anchoring? We want to take the boat to a local boat only island this weekend. How do you judge how close to pull up to the beach without running aground?
Thank you for any help you can give!!! I am sure I will post more questions as I think of them :smt119
