Hello guys, after couple seasons with jet ski, I just got my first boat. It is a 95 sundancer 250 DA. I know it's not new, but sure enough is a good starting point.
Now, I'm pretty new to this so I will shoot all kinda questions, some will be silly and some will be interesting (at least for me) so get ready.
Here I go with the first one:
I know 250 means the length of the boat, but what DA means?
(I told you, some questions will be silly!)

Go to the tech articles forum and look for the 'common terms' thread. It's good reading for someone new to boats and Sea Ray.

And... welcome aboard.

Welcome Max, I had the same boat as yours years ago, 1997 250DA, it's a terrific boat. If you have any questions about it don't hesitate to ask myself or anyone else and welcome to CSR

Welcome aboard. All the silly questions have been used up by me. As stated above, only dumb questions are the ones you have and dont ask. That 250DA is a very nice first boat. GOD bless. JC

Max. I joined this site a year ago when i got my first 98 290 sundancer. Been a long time sea ray guy and this site helped me a ton with a bunch of stuff i knew nothing about like ac units water pumps and efi motors. No dumb question even turned away. We all have been there
