    Thinking about selling...

    Agreed. For RVPilot, never believe any of the specs listed in a brokerage ad. It astounds me how many of them are incorrect. SeaRay does a great job of keeping spec sheets and owners manuals for older boats on their website. Jim

    Should I be afraid of a repowered boat

    Agreed. I would also find out if the work was it done by a mechanic in a reputable shop who knew what they were doing, or someone like me! ;) Jim

    Want to learn about MerCruiser 5.0/5.7's and B III's

    I think that we have pretty much decided that a 02-07 Sundancer 300 would be the right boat for us. Boat will likely have twin 5.0/5.7's with Bravo III outdrives. I retire in 18 months and this will be a couples boat, my wife and I, and occasionally our adult daughter. While I'm not new to...

    What is best launch/tow/daily driver?

    Shenanigans77, Maybe you should consider adding airbags to the Chevy to help level the truck when hauling such a heavy load! :p Jim

    What is best launch/tow/daily driver?

    I was kinda surprised to read the 2021 Tahoe has the same towing numbers as the Suburban. Here are the numbers from Motortrend. Have you considered a 4-door pickup truck? Its easy to find a 1/2 ton RAM, Chevy, or Ford that would have the same, or better, towing numbers. My wife loves...

    Maryland Sundancer Dreamer

    Thanks Korkie. I love the 340's. Your boat must be pretty rare with the B3 OD's? You must have a huge space near the engines for maintenance! We will likely buy a 02-07 Sundancer 300, as that better fits our budget. The other benefit is that there are places where the 300 could be dry...

    Well, it’s not the happiest time in a boaters life...

    I actually feel sorry for anyone who feels that the happiest two days are when they bought and sold their boat. Happiest days for me have ALWAYS been on the boat, on a nice day with family. Sold my trailer sailboat this past Spring (was gone 2 days after I posted the add). I know my favorite...

    Maryland Sundancer Dreamer

    The boat will be mostly a couples boat. For day cruising, maybe daughter and a friend. But, for overnight, just my wife and I. I actually like roughing it. I did a lot of camping in my younger days. LOL, that pretty much stopped 30 years ago when I got married. (Not complaining though :))...

    CPAP vs Inspire sleep apnea device

    If I might add, if you are not feeling rested, maybe your machine isn't properly set? Is it a CPAP or an APAP? While I sleep okay with the CPAP, I do get a much better sleep with the APAP. I know my APAP does adjust during use, and it surprises me to sometimes see the change in pressure it...

    Maryland Sundancer Dreamer

    Man, I have spent (maybe wasted? :eek:) a lot of time lusting after different kinds of boats over the last 18 months! We are still in the same rental house and I sold my trailable sailboat this past Spring (in two days!). It is looking like we won't be doing extensive travel when I retire...

    CPAP vs Inspire sleep apnea device

    I have mild sleep apnea and have been using a CPAP for 8 years now, just bought my second machine, technically an APAP (automatically adjust to your correct pressure while you sleep) this past Spring. The Inspire looks like an interesting device, but I'm not going down the road for an...

    Extended cruising in a 30ish Sundancer

    Extended cruising would be just my wife and I after I retire in 3 years, this way we wouldn't have any time constraints. I'm thinking these longer trips would be 1 - 3 months. A shorter trip might be 3 - 4 weeks island hopping in the Bahamas. A long trip might be 3 months cruising part of...

    Extended cruising in a 30ish Sundancer

    Wondering if anyone has done extended cruising in their 30ish Sundancers? I think the 360 Sundancer would be the perfect boat for my wife and I, and would be a great boat for extended cruising. I think the 320 or 340 could also be good boats for extended cruising as well. What are your...

    Does anyone like showering in their wet head?

    I just registered over the weekend and have lots of questions! I have never had a large boat with a hot and cold shower in the head. Two of the boats that I'm currently thinking about are the 320 and 340 Sundancer. Does anyone shower in a wet head? Do you find it acceptable? Thanks, Jim

    Maryland Sundancer Dreamer

    Thanks for the welcomes! I don't have any plans on trailering the boat. Hauling, when necessary, would be by a professional trucking company.;) If I were trailering the boat, the 260 would be the Sundancer of choice. Even the 360 with a beam of 12'6" and an overall height of 12'7" could be...

    Maryland Sundancer Dreamer

    After spending the last couple of weeks reading the Sundancer 320 and 340 threads, I registered today and I wanted to introduce myself. My boating history consists of smaller sailboats, 15’ – 27’. Current boat is a West Wight Potter 15, as we had lived near a lake. We recently sold our home...
