Official 330 Sundancer Thread

Todd,
You are right again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was not in favor of this place, but it was my wife's choice to go there, they were low bid.

Their workmanship has been fine as far as I can tell, but their professionalism, communication, and timeliness has been horrible. We will have to see how it holds up.

I had the Lowrance one on my last boat. It worked well for the single engine and allowed me to monitor fuel usage on the screen in a variety of display modes. 12.5 gallons per hour at full cruise speed. Not exactly that rate with the 330.
 
Looking at the boat for sale sights for the 330DA '90-'94, I noticed that quite a few of the boats for sale have water stains on their headliners.
Is there a known issue that I am unaware of that hasn't happened "yet" with my 330?
I re-bedded my stanchions and other deck fittings but this looks like a windshield or hatches leaking.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, an ounce or prevention... you know.
 
Munko,
Yes, Searay had/has a problem with leaks coming from windshied base on those models. I looked at quite a few when trying to buy my 330. A lot of the boats had a spongy deck just in front of the windshield. I talked with the Searay Service manager at the local Searay dealership here and he told me that Searay knew about the problem and even had repaired a number of boats years ago under warranty. I guess they decided o save some money on sealant in the screw holes. So my advice is the have a qualified surveyor check for mositure in this area. Or you can investigate yourself by walking gently in this area and see if it feels spongy. Do your self a favor and reseat/Caulk the windshield mount holes.You can buy the rubber that goes in the windshield from Flounder Pounder, Taylormade part # 8349030. It took me quite a few boats till I found the "Perfect" 330. We bought a 1996 and just love it. It is a great boat for family cruising etc. Good luck and Happy Boating !

Anyone ever remove their carpet an put in wood laminate for the floor? It would be great to see any pics... I have a 1998 and I am considering tearing out the carpet and doing this.
 
I've never done it, but my boat has real hardwood instead of laminate. When I looked under the subfloor, they used brad nails to hold it down
 
Looking at a '99 330. Has been kept under cover it's entire life. Canvas is in need of replacement. For those of you who have replaced, what was the cost. Asking as I would like to incorporate the cost into my offer (pending a survey as well). Thanks.

Call Great Lakes Boat top, tell the year/make/model of the searay and they should be able to price it out for you

I replaced all of my canvas in 2011 from Great Lakes Boattop for around $2500 or so.

You'll need the serial number of the boat and they will look it up and make an exact replacement. They will give you a quote for the replacement cost if you ask.
