496 Mag w/Bravo III
I've been waiting to post here until I get the new baby home but I can't take it any more. I bought a new but holdover 2008 290 Sundeck with the 496 Mag, BIII, fridge, grill, shore power, Polk audio, double bimini, the works...I had the dealer add the Corsa exhaust during the winter and they also ordered me a new custom trailer. It is killing me that I didn't get any time with the boat when I bought it in October. They put it straight into storage and I will pick it up in the spring. We have had a tough winter here in SD and I am ready for the new boat and hot weather, come on Spring! Anyone here have any good things to say about their 290 Sundeck? Pictures in my profile/album.

Enjoy your new toy ... summer will be here before you know it. We have thoroughly enjoyed ours ... glad to see another 290 Sundeck owner on the site.
 
Just saved some to my profile/album. Not sure how to put them back into the original post...Thanks!
 
Looking good! You can always use the img tag option.
 
WOW! That's one sweet boat! It's built for good times and for making lots of great family memories. Enjoy!
 
Man! Talk about room! It looks huge inside :thumbsup:

Is that hatch on the RH side of the stern for your shore power?

What is the top speed with that 496? I bet it flies!
 
I know how you feel. Awaiting spring to launch my new 330 for the first time that I purchased last fall.

The hatch is a storage area for stuff like life jackets, fenders, ropes, etc... If I remember, the shore power outlet is up closer to the refrigerator.

Not sure on top end speed yet but I am hoping it will be enough to put a smile on my face!

Beautiful, that's a great boat. My brother has an '05 290 Select with the 496 and he can run about 48 MPH on the GPS. We run closer to 55.

The 496 is an awesome motor, and you'll love the Corsa. But most of all, DTS is exceptional. Smooth shifts and instant response to throttle inputs.

Congratulations, and I'm with you on not being able to wait to get back out.

Agree on the DTS. A friend has DTS on his Sundeck and I have driven it. It is a breeze and something my wife wanted. She doesn't like picking me up at the dock as she worries about having to do the shifting and maneuvering at the same time. The DTS will give her less shifting resistance and one less thing to be worried about.
 
Congrats man. In the same situation here, just bought my 230 select and it went straight to storage. Won't get to oggle at it until mid April.......
 
I had a choice of two hold over models, I bought the 290 Sundeck but they also had a 2008 270 Select in the same color with every imaginable option including a teak inlay swim platform. the difference in price was about $7k. Man, those Selects are awesome too! I bought the Sundeck because I couldn't get the arch of the Select in storage unit. Then, wouldn't you know, the storage owner decided to build some additional larger units this winter....Hope I made the right decision! Enjoy that ride, it looks awesome!
