Hello Friends,

I'm currently working on this 82 270 Sundancer. Got the boat for free...now we all know, boats are not free. I have already spent a good penny(or two) on a new drive, prop, manifolds, risers, fuel pump, water pump, alternator, the list goes on. There is nothing like the feeling of getting out on the water. Check out this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hw3runZBq2A), the boat is far from complete but it moves. Thanks to a nice four blade stainless prop. Still looking for a factory seat for the helm, going to do carpet on deck and down below. Who cares, it's on the water. Check out the video. I am posting this for anyone who is in the South Florida area, more precisely, the Treasure Coast. I did a lot of the work myself but when it came to an outdrive, I was fortunate to get connected with Unlimited Boat Service and Parts, Inc. in St. Lucie West. They really know what they are doing and took care of me. Check out the video, there will be more to follow. Like I said, the boat is nowhere near complete but it's close. Mostly cosmetics now. Check out the video and let me know what you think. Any Sundancer owners out there looking to part with a bench seat that will fit a 270 Sundancer, let me know. I will see most of you at the sandbar this weekend, Aquapalooza. If you don't know about it, drop me a note and I can give you details. For now, the link to the video is as follows: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hw3runZBq2A Good Stuff! Take note of the Rottie in the movie, he basically supervises the whole operation so I could not leave him out. LOL!

Very Kool. Looks like a labor of love. I know for sure you spent a lot of hours and sweat so far,,,especially in compounding and polishing that hull. Looks great:thumbsup:

Welcome to CSR. There are a great group of guys here with lots of good information and you will have your own stories to share.
 
Looking real good. I am working on a restoration of the same boat - 1984 270 with the single 454 and TR drive. What did you end up putting in for a drive? My boat is coming out on Monday to reseal the drive. Can't wait to get it going again

Very nice, The price was right, And that 27' Classic is certainly worth fixing up.
 
Nice to see you are having fun with that project. I recently redid my 270, labor of love! I'll post up some pictures if I can get with one of those hosting sites. Looks like you have quite a bit of work ahead of you too :lol:. I like the idea of starting with the motor and drive, gotta get the basics out of the way first!
