Hi,
This will be my first be my first boat, though I've boated with others many times. I've looked at many websites, read as much as I can, and I've narrowed my search to a couple brands: Sea Ray and Cutwater. I need to tow the boat short distances, I live in Arizona, and will occasionally use it for weekend trips so air-conditioning is something I'm definitely interested in.
When configuring a Sea Ray 260 Sundancer on the company site I notice that you can order the boat with AC, but no option for a factory installed generator is offered. Does this mean that the AC is for dockside plug-in only?
It is also not clear if the quoted price of the 260 includes a trailer or not. I wondered about this since no trailer option or price was listed.
Also, is the bow thruster worth the $6,000 price tag or will I do just fine without it?
For those of you who own a Sea Ray 260DA, are you happy with it or do you wish you'd moved up to the 280? Do you feel like the cuddy area is adequate? Any input about your own experience with a 260 would be appreciated. Thanks!
