First major upgrade to the new SDX 290. Installed drawers inside the wet bar. We didn't get the fridge, and wanted to make this space more functional. We grill often, so wanted a place for our dishes, etc, and add some storage. I made these from PVC sheets I got at Home Depot, added drawer...

I saw an item on sale at West Marine called Head Lube. It's supposed to treat the rubber, gaskets, plungers and flappers in a marine head. Has anyone heard of this? Does it work... or better question, do I need it? We are taking delivery next week of our new 290 SDX, and it has a vacuflush...

Now, I'm officially a SR owner! I'm a little confused by this part of the forum - there aren't many 290 SDX posts, and no "owners thread". Maybe this one can start the trend. We ordered in August, and the boat arrived yesterday. Looks great! We really like the new metallic blue.

Thought I would share what I did here. The pic shows a drawer that existed with the world's tiniest trash can. Why do boats always have a tiny trash can, but room for 10 guests? Anyway, we often cook out, and don't like paper plates and plastic forks. So, in our wet bar, I removed the trash...

I am closing on my new SR in a few weeks. I know they will be offering these "great deals" on extended warranty coverage. I know there is Vantage and an Extended Warranty... and is there something called "Passport"? What else are they going to offer. Is there any value in these? I got the...

Does anyone have an SDX 290 with the folding shelf in the head? I think they only offered it one year, but I'm not sure. Is there a reason they would stop offering it? It seems like a really good idea. If you have it, could you take a few pics for me? I'm thinking of trying to copy it to...

This would be the absolute dream boat for me. And it’s not available in the US. Wtf. Anybody know why it’s not offered here? Darn it. I’d put down a deposit tomorrow. https://www.searay.com/eu/en/models/sundancer-series/sundancer-290.html

Isn't this supposed to be a no politics zone? Seems like more than half of the posts are political... Just curious? Maybe it's not moderated?

Our intent was to get married at the end of June. But, given Covid, we didn't want to have "that party". Even though the party was going to be small (60-70 ppl), you know how quickly things add up, and it would have been $15k or more. Plus the honeymoon. Because of Covid, we have postponed...

I'm considering an new 290 SDX. When I configure the boat in the online configuration tool, the price with trailer is $166. But, when I talk to the dealer, MM, he says it is $169 WITHOUT the trailer. Is the online config tool that different from reality? Or, is he padding the price to cover...

Hi, guys, I’m looking at a 290 sdx, used. The bolster pad at the helm is kind of soft and squashed. Is this normal? It feels like the padding isn’t very resilient. Is there a fix for it?

If your boat has a trailer, did you order a matching Sea Ray trailer, or something else? I'm ordering, but it seems like the SR trailers are kind of expensive. One for a 29 SDX lists at $8500 to start! I only use it a few times a year, and the boat sits on it for storage. Are there any less...

I'm looking at a used 290 SDX. We live in Minnesota, so it's all lake boating. Well, I reached out to the dealer with a question about warranty transfer on the used boat, and he mentioned that he knows that boat and he thinks it was in Florida last year for the winter. Which would mean it's...

What do you do with this area? It seems like it was designed for something... or otherwise it's wasted space. What do you do with it?

Does anyone have a mooring cover that you use while slipping your boat? I have an 18 Monterey, and I had a custom cover made for it. It covers the entire boat in one piece, including the folding arch, to a point below the rub rail, but does not cover the swim platform. I did it this way so...

I had a 2008 Four Winns for 10 years. Even though I waxed it twice annually, over time it became noticeably oxidized in the areas that were not under the covers. I could buff it out, but over time it became tougher to buff out, and the buff didn't last as long. So, when I bought my 18...

Hello! I'm new to the forum, but not new to boating. My first was a F224 Four Winns, which I had 10 years. Now, I have a Monterey 278SS, which we've had for two years. We got an opportunity to buy an 18 290 SDX for a seemingly fair price, and I think I can sell the Monty relatively quickly...
