Hi All,
Long time lurker, I have found a wealth on valuable information on this site but for the one I need peoples opinions.
I have a 2006 275 Sundancer (260DA) based in Australia, have had the boat for around a year and love it although a bit too cramped with 2 adults and 2 teenagers, I have done a ton of work to it including transom assembly, manifolds and cosmetic stuff. it has a single 5.7MPI and B3, raw water cooler and lives in salt water.
My mate has a '97 290DA with twin 4.3 fresh water cooled and Alpha 1's which he's looking to sell, it needs some cosmetic work and a bit of TLC and I can get it for a very reasonable price, I could do with the bit extra space and although its an older boat could be a good deal.
I am torn on keeping mine but think its a great opportunity to get into a twin engine for a good price, I am going got take it for a proper drive tomorrow and see how I go, will ask for past maintenance records etc and will need to be pulled out of the water for survey, should I stick with what I know or move to an older unknown? anyones thoughts on the older 290's and 4.3 V6's would be useful, thanks in advance.
