Big project for the year looks to be a satellite system with a TV on deck and one in the salon.
I'm sure there's info within the 226 pages on here, but would anyone with a 370 care to post some pics and info on what they did?
Thank you
Well...I didn't put satellite in. We did 3 flatscreens throughout the boat. Each has it's own BluRay player. Movies for us, cartoons for the grandkids and we're good.
Here's a slide show from Photobucket with before and after pics. You might get some ideas.

Very nicely done. I like how you did the salon TV using the same space so it can be viewed from the salon and the aft berth.
Any chance you recall the brackets you used in your three areas? Looks like a very custom set up in the salon.
Thanks for your input.
Took my helm and companion seats to the upholsterer,they opened them up today.They are not wood framed and the backs were starting to lean back a little.I didnt know they used plastic for the seat frames.I was told they had been sort of repaired once before at least the companion seat had,not sure about the helm bench but it is in need of repair now.Has anyone had one of these repaired and who or how did you do it?I even ordered new slides for the helm bench they were $82 from tecla who makes the slides for searay.
So I've narrowed down my winter project to a mild stereo rejuvenation. Still have the original clarion tape deck with cd changer in the cabinet, and have been getting by with tape-to-headphone jack and fm transmitters for the past few years, but decided to finally jump into a nice new bluetooth equipped receiver. I have changed car stereos before so i'm not worried about the receiver itself, but I'm wondering if anybody who has done it can let me know how hard it was to run a new remote cable from the receiver to the dash, as i don't think the existing remote cable will work with the new receiver and remote. Deciding whether to tackle that myself or hire somebody. I might have to hire somebody with cable snakes to get the 2nd remote cable up to the radar arch.
For equipment i'm going with
Clarion M505 Receiver
2 MW1 Remotes Dash & Radar Arch
Speakers - CMG1622 Component for Cockpit and Radar Arch

If you go to the 370sundancer.com site, under odds and ends, there are pics of my cockpit seats redone in Starboard.
Gene, All links in the by year page are coming up 404 not found.
Looks like it is the 1997 year that is not working. I can access the others, but I have to wait until tomorrow afternoon to get to fixing the site. Thanks for the heads up. The site needs some updating anyway.

It seems like every model has an "official thread" except for the 370 DA. What an awesome boat! Not to big, not to small, moves okay with gas motors. What's not to like? Any 370 owners with me on this? I'd like to hear from you guys. With a few changes I made to my boat (camper canvas, flat screen TV, & custom bar) my cockpit area is an incredible place to hang out with friends, have a few drinks, or a cup of coffee in the morning. I'm pretty happy I accidently found this boat. What do you think? Mark
What's not to like? Exactly what my wife said the first time we boarded 1996 370 Sundancer, we drove from North of Detroit to New Buffalo Michigan ( 4 hours across the state) to go look at a different vessel and really didn't like what we saw, while we were in the area the broker took us to see another vessel that was close and for sale...1996 370 and my wife immediately fell in love with it but it was a little out of our price range and not to mention traveling from lower Lake Michigan through the Mackinaw Straits, South down Lake Huron and then home to Algonac located in the St. Clair River, a $3,000 + fuel bill so we searched up and down the Great Lakes for a 370 and after a few months of searching the WWW we finally found one in Port Clinton Ohio only a one hundred mile run home Up Lake Erie through the Detroit River, Lake St. Clair and the the final leg up the St. Clair River into Algonac. Can't wait to throttle down and bring our new baby home!!!
Ready for Splashdown
Happy Boating
Congrats and welcome to the thread! I am sure no one on this thread will disagree with you on the 370. Be sure to take the time to read through the whole thing smt001) as there is a whole lot of info here.
