Is there a page specifically for the 1989 280 Sundancer? it seems like it's stuck between the newer Sundancers and the 1988 and older Sundancers
 
Is the 1989 280Da the big ole 280? 10.6 Beam? Thanks, JC

We got ours two years ago. I love it and it's growing on my wife.
Of course, we have spent as much on it as we gave for it. But it is completely changed cosmetically.

Mine is still awaiting some fuel delivery/carb repair...mechanics are so busy!

Its a WIDE boat...i grew.up boating and i still feel its a rather unwieldy boat at low speeds. No counter rotating props adds to the challenge.

I'm looking forward to getting out on it asap!

I got counter rotating drives in March.
It's not bad a low speed 1500 rpms get me 8.8 mph. But I still struggle backing it in the slip.
