I am just curious. Are there any other 285 Sundowner owners out there? I have not noticed any since I have joined this forum |

I think there was one other 285 owner who posted here a while back. I'm not sure how many they made but I'm guessing it's a small number. |

I've got a 2005 w/ twin VP 5.0GXi 270HP. I've only seen one other and it was in my neck of the woods, but it didn't have the arch like mine. Great boat - over 50 MPH. |

I own a 2002 twin VP 5.0GXi 270HP. I bought it this winter and probably will have a few questions during the season... |

I have never seen a 285 in person. I love the looks of the early 2000's model. Can anyone comment on the size of the cuddy and how much room there is to sleep ? I am curious how roomy the bed is with the head and lil countertop area. I currently own a '93 SD215. Love the SD's but would love one a lil larger. Corey |

I have never slept on my boat, but I would estimate that the sleeping area is similar in size to a full size bed,(taking into account the cabin reduction of the bow) It is quite a bit larger than the Regal 2300 cuddy that I previously owned. |

SEA GAR, this is sort of a weird request but if possible could you post a pic of an adult laying down on the bed in the cuddy so I can get an idea of how large it is? I love cuddys, even though they seem to be a dying breed but I also love camping on the boat. I do not want to go to a cabin cruiser (yet) My GF and I are both hovering around the 6' mark so as you can imagine our '93 215SD is a little tight for sleeping. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes Corey, that is a weird request, if you are that curious you should look at one that is for sale. The Chaparral 285ssi and Formula 280ss are models that are similar in size. |

Fellow 285 Sundowners. I bought my 2002 285 Sundowner used. It came with a cover, but it is very old and I need to replace it. I'm struggling to find a good place to buy one. If one of you has a good idea where to go, it would be much appreciated. |

If you are looking for a cover that is made to fit your boat, try national boat covers, or boat covers direct they stock covers that range in price from $409.00 to $979.00 that are available in different colors and fabrics. |
