I guess the 310 is the new 280. Same length, but they certainly didn't make it the same trailerability for those that are looking at a ~30' sundancer as a trailer queen. old 280 - 113" wide, exceeds the legal limit by 11", but doable with a basic wide load permit. 310 - 120" wide...

Did Sea Ray make the new 305 Dancer to replace the old 280? 280 (new) - 28'8" LOA 280 (old) - 31'1" LOA 305 (new) - 33'3" LOA I suppose Sea Ray is making the 305 replace the old 280? The website shows that the new 305 is 2' longer than the old 280, but is the same weight? I...

Anyone know when the Sea Ray website will be updated with all the 2009 boats and options? My father is looking at buying the 230 Sundeck. He would like closed cooling, but the 350mag B3 DTS doesn't come with it. Any thought if Sea Ray is going to start offering the new Seacore...

Another rookie question, since a 280 sundancer with twin V6's doesn't come with closed cooling systems, has anyone installed this aftermarket? When I do buy a 280, it will be a trailer queen with majority of boating out of Newport Beach, CA (I live in Anaheim not newport) with boating...

Thanks everyone for all the feedback! I definitely have a good idea on the trailer weight of my future boat.

Wow.......that is a reality check! Thanks Marq! I was hoping for a max 11k lb. total weight, but I guess I was dreaming. 12,500 is getting up there. I wonder what the tongue weight would be? Do you use weight distributing bars/hitch? I guess I have to get that Dually Diesel...

Just curious if anyone can guess with some accuracy, or knows the actual weight of a 2004 280 Sundancer with the following: - Twin V6's, alpha one's - genny - 1/2 tank of fuel - triple axle trailer Just trying to find out the actual realistic "towing weight". For those of you that...
