I would suggest a 1986-1990 340 sundancer. We have spent up to 14 days on board. Our kids are "boating" kids, and that makes a difference. The 340 can also be handled alone if you are an accomplished skipper. The 400 or 420 sedan bridge is also a good solution if you like that style of boat...

My 1986 340DA has Merc 340's turning 17" bronze props. The DA's are heavy in the stern, but you should be able to see over the bow when cruising. I store a lot of stuff, including spare props, in the aft seat. No problem. The stern sits low, maybe 1" clearance to swim platform. Four blade props...

push the buttons in and hold them.

I would be happy with drips. After running, the water pours in. The bilge pump cycles every 30 seconds. What brand of dripless seals will fit in the seven inches of space offered by the V-drives?

1986 340DA shaft seals leak. Have repacked and tightened till dry. They leak again after running, but start to dry up while idle. Have been told that dripless seals will not fit with the V-drives. Props and shafts are true. Any ideas/similar problems?
