    Q's from a first time boat owner

    Hey guys, great site here, but I still have a few questions. I jumped right in and purchased a 2005 280DA with next to zero experience. So some of these questions may seem silly, but your help is appreciated! 1. When powered at the dock, do I leave my batteries on or off. Or just one? What...

    Engine stall during sea trial

    Sounds like the driver was confused about the 3 cylanders and the shift interupter. It isnt his boat afterall. I'm really hoping it gets resolved though becuase I want this boat!! Thanks for the info regarding the possible causes I will relay it.

    Engine stall during sea trial

    I believe the engine stalled while going from forward into neutral. this happened twice. It did not stall otherwise. He is a very experienced boater, so I doubt he was shifting so extremely slow to be out of the norm. Plus the other engine didnt stall. I was told the IACs were done recently...

    Engine stall during sea trial

    Yes, he let the engines warm up for a couple minutes before leaving the dock. They are fuel injected. Yes the engines seemed to operate normally otherwise. They ran smooth at cruising speed. It was only while in the harbor when they stalled. What are some possible causes of this?

    About to buy my first boat- Sundancer 280! need some advice

    I did do some searches on those sites. There seems to be a HUGE range of pricing. Saw one as high as $75k. And of course asking price is not selling price.

    About to buy my first boat- Sundancer 280! need some advice

    I dont know if it has an inverter. I think going with the 280 is a good choice. Hopefully I wont have the urge to upgrade. I am looking for some reassurance that the boat is priced reasonably. Does anyone any input on pricing a 2005 280?

    About to buy my first boat- Sundancer 280! need some advice

    Hello everyone, I'm about to purchase my first boat. It appears I have found a good deal on a 2005 Sundancer 280. I had originally started looking at some older 240s with a budget in mind of around $20k.... But a few weeks later I'm already considering the 280 and trying to justify doubling the...
