Official 330 Sundancer Thread

Is there a storage spot for the rear cushion that goes on top of the table? I'm missing and was planning on having one made. just don't know where to store it?
 
Does anyone know how to make a 330 group? Also any favorite prop pullers out there? I have one on order just wondering.

Looking at buying a '98 330 Sundancer. 900 hours. Merc 7.4 MPI but don't know which model (310 or 380hp) yet. Great Lakes, assume all fresh water. Am I getting myself into an engine rebuild with 900 hours? What are the big $ expenses I should be concerned with?

Thanks in advance - 1st time with a boat this big - 25 years of runabouts...
 
Update to my previous post. Looked at the '98 330 today. Out of the water so I couldn't run it. Interior looks like alot of work. The starboard side shelf and storage is falling down, a couple of drawers are crooked, has anyone had any experience with internal repairs like that, or any insight as to what would cause them?

Sound like water damage or a bad impact? Lots of good boats out there. Don't buy a wreck.
 
Sometimes when a boat is blocked up wrong or to long that can happen....

Has anyone converted to full fresh water cooling?

Mine has the block but not the manifolds. the heat exchanger looks big enough to handle them?
 
Yea, I agree sounds like water damage. Likely from fore deck penetrations, bow rail stanchions are bad for this. Also where the windshield frame screws into the deck is a leaker too. good to stay on top of these and reseal and reseat. If there is already damage there needs to be a thorough survey to check for delamination especially on the sides under the port holes. If there is any stay away. There will be some higher moisture readings which are inherent on this model Sea Ray.

Thanks all! I haven't gone back up to take a look at it, but I can get up on the fore deck and try to see whether there is any obvious water damage on the deck (soft spots, etc). I think it's probably a pass, but the price is low enough to make some interior work worth my while, but not low enough to want to get into structural damage.

Thanks again for the advice!

My 330 was converted to a full fresh water cooled system by Merc, they used an aftermarket (Orca) 5" diameter heat exchanger, as Merc didn't make one large enough at that time.
 
Hey 330 guys, I now have templates for '95 to '99 330DA cockpit replacement flooring. I am a site advertising sponsor and run a Marine canvas/flooring business.

I sell Infinity flooring and just finished up flooring for a CSR 330 owner. I am slow for the Winter so if you are thinking Infinity flooring, hit me before Spring.

Infinity woven PVC flooring, matching Sunbrella binding, & Teflon thread.

email me for price info@thecanvasmedic.com www.thecanvasmedic.com

That looks great Dave!

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to wait four+ months to see it installed on my boat.

Do you have the template for a 2016 350?
 
Unfortunately I do not have templates for '16 350.

Two options:
1 - use old carpets as templates (if you are happy with the fit)
2 - make templates with 6 mil plastic and a sharpie marker (if you are a "DIY" type person)
