Hi All,
New to the forum and getting ready to sea trial an '06 300 Sundancer this week.
For those of you who have experience with them, is there anything in particular I should be looking for?
Appreciate any feedback in advance....
Thanks
 
I hope you're planning on (or have already gotten) a hull and equipment survey and a separate engine and transmission survey done on the boat.

Also, if you think this is a boat you'll end up buying, get a complete set of spark plugs for the engines and have them all gapped and ready to install. As your engine surveyor does a compression test on each cylinder, hand him a new plug to put back into the engine. You'll have to replace them sooner or later and it just kinda makes sense to have your surveyor do it for free while he's checking the engines.

Awesome idea!!!
