Hi all,
I think we want a 240 Sundancer, but maybe I can get a few oppinions. 1) we will trailer everywhere, therefore we will never have shorepower and always be on the hook. 2) 95% of the time it will be my wife and I only. I am 6'6" but my wife is 5'1". and 3) we definitly want to do full weekends on the water, if not longer stays.
So, I hope its not a dumb question, but can you tell me the advantages of a DA if we never have shore power? I really dont know much yet as all my boat have been pontoons or bow/cuddy.
We would like comfort while sleeping and not to have to worry about weather. TV could be cool. We are fine with a huge cooler or two because if we are on the hook all weekend will the fridge even be of use?. And are fine showering on the swim platform. We probably would grille cook. We probably would rather not use the toilet on the boat (smell), unless I am mistaken and its a great feature we would get used to real quick. We could hit the water, or marina or woods! As for speed, I am over it - cruiser speed is fine!
The stand up room is cool, but at 6'6, can I stand up even in a DA? We think the seating on the 96-99 240DA is very nice, would be great in evenings playing cards under camper canvas.
So with all that on mind, am I going overboard for a sundancer? Will I get all the comfort I want in a weekender cuddy?
Any tips and oppinions are greatly appreciated!!
