Hey everyone,
I'm new to the forum and looking to get my first boat. I've operated my dad's 31' (or 34' can't remember exactly) Parker that had 2 250s, so I think a 24' or 27' boat should be fine. I have a few questions and was hoping to get some advice/info.
As far as getting a boat, I know I want to get a sundancer. Most likely a late 90s that I can buy for around 15k-20k. I'm thinking a 270 would be the best option, but the weight is a concern. I'll be getting an apartment that has boat lifts for $400/month, with a size limit of 29' and 9000lbs. Does anyone have figures for a fully loaded late 90s sundancer 270? I believe dry it's 6500lbs, so I figure with full gas, water, and batteries that's at least another 1000lbs. I won't be doing an extended deck or anything. Can anyone chime in with their weight? Or lead me to a thread with this info or a thread better suited for this question?
I'm also wondering what the main difference are between the 240 and 270 as far as the cabin goes. Does the 270 just have a smaller seating section in front? I'm looking to have that mid cabin to sleep in and full bath.
