Official 330/350 (2008 and newer) Thread

Thanks for starting the thread, JV II. I was the tan 330 at Oak Bluffs when you were down there a couple of weeks ago.

I do not have a bow thruster but have noticed fresh water in my bilge area mid-cabin (we have teak flooring with a floor panel that opens just aft of the drawer under the v-birth). I have not found the cause, but am suspicious of my chain locker as well. There are scuppers as mentioned, but perhaps water still pools. Not sure yet.

I was wondering about the rectangular side windows myself, compared to the usual dual round portholes. It does say "50th Anniversary edition" on the port helm seat station, maybe this is a different edtion? It is definitely a 2009 330 (measures 35'6" LOA + the extra 2 foot hydraulic platform makes it over 37'!)

Anyways, the rectangular windows really let in plenty of light in the galley and cabin!

MarineMax has been stellar to work with and is fixing some minor delivery issues: broken strut in rumble seat, anchor windlass wiring directly in way of anchor rode, and 2 new fuel senders. They do have to fix the Kohler Generator after only 39 hours -- bad impeller and sleeve, and a new coil.

Beatiful boat, congrats and enjoy! Your details states Details: "2008 Sundancer 350", which is exactly what your boat looks like. I thought the new 330 was the old 310. I'm confused, what a mess!!! Can you post some pics of the interior. As for the year, confirm by your hull id #. You will have (last 2 digits) either an 08, 09, 10...within, to confirm what year your boat is.

Hi,

I edited my "Details" to the correct 2009 Sundancer 330...

My Hull ID# is : SERT2****09, so it conforms a 2009 hull, plus I am reading it directly off my purchase agreement lol!

I will try to post pics of the interior this weekend when I can get back down to her...

thanks, now it all makes sense!!
 
Have any of you with an integrated swim platform (unlike blavid, who seems to have a great setup) considered a dinghy? Davits? Interested to hear what you may be doing.

I'd be very interested to hear also. I'm scared to death to put any holes into the platform, and I fear losing the space needed to help the admiral get access needed when docking. I also need some ideas as to where the engine would go.
 
The Sea Lift platform is rated to 700 pounds I think, but I have to check the manual which is on the boat. I think most waverunners might be too heavy for it.

In addition, I am not sure that the transom was really designed to have something so heavy hang from it. The lift is thru bolted maybe 24 bolts under the waterline directly into the transom/engine room. It is pretty massive hardware, but I would hate to put a big strain on the lower transom wall with a big load. In addition, too heavy a load may alter the running characteristics of the boat. I may be completely wrong, but maybe there is someone out there who can chime in with real life data.

We have a 9'6" Achilles inflatable dinghy with air floor (74 pounds) , and a Tohatsu 3.5 HP 4 stroke (41 pounds) engine, and the Sundancer doesn't even know it's there when we are running. It is kind of on the maximum size/length dinghy for our beam, but there is plenty of room to work around at our dock. We have a floating dock with fingers that run parallel to the boat, so there is no obstruction to get on/off the boat at dock.

We didn't expect to have the Sea Lift platform, but we grabbed this boat after the initial buyer cancelled his contract, and MarineMax just wanted to get rid of it because it was the last 2009 in their inventory. It had many premium upgrades too, but they wanted our trade in boat as well, so the timing was right :smt038 !

The entire boat is great but the Sea Lift platform makes it…like…WOW!

That is one awesome rig you have there.

+1. I did a double take when I saw that. That's an expensive big boat feature on a mid-sized cruiser. It really must be a cool and useful addition.

Nice to meet up with you in Oak Bluffs. The water in my forward cabin bilge compartment is definitely salty. Did you taste yours? I originally thought it was wash water from cleaning the boat, but it is salty. I tried drying it with paper towels and it reappears with the boat sitting still for a day or two. Just about a cup though.

It's not leaking from the bow thruster/tube area?

I don't think so. The water is in front of the tube. The aft part is where the thruster attaches and it is dry there.
 
Thanks for all the compliments...the Sea Lift is used all the time at our "island day" get togethers where we back stern in to the sandbars here in sunny Florida....what a great party platform / hangout area, especially when you can sit on it when it is a foot underwater! Works great as indicated for dinghy transport as well.

The cockpit floor is the optional factory installed real teak flooring. Holding up great so far.

Dam, that is one pimped out 330DA :thumbsup:. Can you post some pictures of the cockpit/swimplatform flooring? Does it get hot? What other options do you have? Very nice!
 
JVII - my mid cabin bilge water is fresh, not salty. I re-caulked a few of the deck fittings last weekend and will see if that solves it. Clearly a different problem than yours. Good luck!
 
The faucet on the sink in the head started to slowly drip, but now is more of a constant. Has anyone had a similar issue? I unscrewed the part on the end of the faucet, where the washer is and brought it to a ship store, but they had no reccomendation other than to try an O-ring. But, that didn't work. I'm going to try to replace the washer next.
 
Update - I replaced the aerator, which is what screws onto the faucet (washer within the aerator). It now allows a much better flow of water, but still a nasty little drip.
