Hi!
I'm using this old thread to ask you guys some questions related to the 270 Sundancer.
I recently sold my old dancer and I'm now looking for replacement. I live in Europe, but plan to import a boat from the US, since your prices seem more attractive these days and there are lots of boats to choose from.
Given my limited budget, I will most likely go with a 270 Sundancer (wide beam), year model somewhere around 1999-2001. I'm looking for a boat that is clean and in very good condition overall. And now to my questions:
Single or twin engine
These boats are usually powered by a single 7.4 MPI/Bravo Three combination. What do you say about this package? Is there enough power to plane easily? How about cruise speed and at which rpm? The other option would be twin 4.3/Alpha One combination. Any thoughts about this? Which way to go?
Pricing
Sellers are typically asking something between 25-40 k$ for these boats on boattrader.com. I would like to hear your opinion on the price tag. I know you guys are having some tough times in economy over there right now, so I would assume there might be bit of a buyers market at the moment. How much would you pay for a nice and clean boat?
Any input on this matter is highly appreciated!
