Sure ... I will start with this one ... This was the "money shot" from the previous owner!
I have 2 brand new batts I bought for my boat but my boat got hammered by Sandy. Let me know if you are interested. They are Seahawk Marine Dual Purpose Batts. I have pics also. If you want send me your email I can send pics.I have a 2006 240DA and would like to replace my batteries this year (2). My boat is in storage but I think my current batteries are exactly the same model. What do other 240DA owners recommend as a replacement?: battery type and brand. For example, I know there are starting and deep cycle batteries.... and there are AGM, Gel, etc. battery types. The place that stores my boat recommended 2 Interstate batteries 24MXHD which appear to be starting batteries.
Ideally, I am looking for no-maintenance batteries that can handle occasional overnighting (refrigerator, lights, radio); most nights the boat will be plugged in to shore power at a marina.

Do you all have two batteries, a house and a starter? I replaced my house side with 2-6V batteries in series and it's worked great.
Here are the 2-6V but the 12V is outboard of these.
I thought about the same set up. That's a great one but elected to give the 6Vs a shot for a little less $$$.Actually I have three batteries onboard. I parallel two Optima D31M's for house loads, and have a Optima D24M for starting...........
All I can say is read up on the handling characteristics of the 240da hull. If that doesn't scare you off, it is a good compromise boat. It does alot in a small boat. I have kept mine because it is trailered easy, and I can single hand it like a ski boat.Hey all,
I'm thinking of trading my 185 Sport in on an 06 240 Dancer from my local dealer. Anything in particular that I should watch out for or take into account for my decision making? This boat has every option that was available in the 06, is powered by the 350 Mag. vacuflush, GPS/Charter, VHF, ect...
Thanks guys!
