2000 Sundancer 270 Questions

OK, thanks for the help. I wish I lived closer to civilization. The nearest place to get anything done as far as a boat goes, is mobile, and that is 3.5hrs. I will hopefully find someone that can do it for me one day.
 
You do not necessarily need a sea ray dealer to do most things for the boat. I would imagine you can find a canvas maker in Montgomery. I have used Blue Creek Marina on Lake Martin in the past. I suppose you could give them a call and they could probably turn you on to a canvas maker. Good luck. Amazing that there are no close fuel stops on that entire stretch to Mobile. How about a gas station close to the river? But that still does not get gas into the boat.

That is a good idea, I will try Blu Creek, I am on Lake Martin all the time with one boat or another. And yes, it is rediculous that there are no fuel stops. They just shut the pump down at selma city marina last year, and now there are no fuel stops between montgomery and mobile. Rediculous.

Expanding the v-birth. Since I am 6’ 2” and big I needed more length and more shoulder room.

  • Remove the v-birth surround by removing the screws from the top between the folds in the fabric. This will give you much more shoulder room and some small increase in length. Have an auto interior shop form some thin plywood and cover to re trim the ledge.
  • Next make a new wooden plug to fit snug to the port and starboard sides of the front of the v-birth. Use your plug as a pattern and simply extend the length. My cabinet shop made mine from plywood. Purchase a table support fitting and screw to the bottom of this plug for the stand support.
  • Have the auto interior shop make a new snug fitting fabric plug to replace the smaller shorter plug. You will be amazed at the size of the new v-birth. We cut a 4” thick memory foam to fit the whole v-birth and put it on top of the fabric pads supplied by Sea Ray.
  • This was a very comfortable bed. We kept it made up at all times. We used the mid cabin for storage on long trips. We did not have any clutter in the cabin.
  • Take the old v-birth plug move the table leg support under the plug forward a inch or two and use this plug for your dinette table. You will then be able to walk by each other in the cabin. This will open up the cabin. You will think you are in a larger boat.

Do you think you can get some pictures of this up on this thread?

I have photos but I cannot figure out how to post them on this site. I may be able to e-mail them to you. I need your e-mail address. We sold the boat to a family in Oklahoma last summer.
