Generally speaking, I like it a lot, but I think the guest bed is too close to the floor, actually pretty much on the floor and that will make it hard to get up off of it unless you're a kid and don't care. Harder for adults I think. Better to have steps up into the cockpit and more space in the mid-ship stateroom.
As a Sea Ray fan for my entire adult life, I’m saddened by the mismanagement of this once revered boat brand. Today, its a shadow of its former self. There was a time when Sea Ray managment were themselves boaters, not accountants who do not know the difference between two half hitches and a granny knot, and do not care to understand why thats important. The managers were involved in local boating clubs and boating events. Who here remembers forum posts from delivery captain Rusty Higgins? Or online banter between Four Suns and Wingless about how to fix anything, right down to a stripped screw? I still occasionally log into the online forum Club Sea Ray as well as a few of the Sea Ray Facebook groups. Never once do I see a post from someone with Sea Ray managment. Its almost like the company’s goal is to lets its brand die. Sea Ray could take a lesson from Nordhavn, who embraces owner camaraderie, even hosting a owner content created short film festival. Its so sad to see Sea Ray marketing and managment dismiss the value of brand fellowship. The brand has fallen so far, their owner Brunswick doesn’t want them, yet can’t find a buyer. Could you imagine working at Sea Ray where every work day is the new worst work day of your carrier? I keep hoping to get a signal from someone at Sea Ray that they want to survive. If you didn’t know it, the boat model in this video has been discontinued. Thats different then being replaced. Its been discontinued along with every other 40 foot or over Sea Ray model, the plant closed, employees let go.
Hey, Thanks for the heads up. I'm looking to buy a small cruiser yacht and thus far have been really impressed with the Sea Ray Sundancer series. But, after reading your comments, you've really given me pause. I'll have to research some of what you said but if true, I will definitely be going in a different direction. Any suggestions?
George thank you. Could you give me some more detail? What is your intended use? Day boating? Occasional overnights? Live aboard? Where do you intend to boat? Salt or fresh water? Are you going to trailer or slip the boat in a marina? What will you do? Cruise? Fish? Ski? What size are you considering? New or used? What other boats have you owned?
Being new to boating, I look at many, many reviews. I see many upon many who favor the Sea Ray line. I also see posts about new and improved versions of aging boats. I rarely see posts like this one. Is there a reason few have negative posts about the Sea Ray line of boats?
Precioso barco y muy buen video... No era mucho de esta marca (muy para el mercado americano) pero creo que estan cambiando (más para el mercado europeo) y me encanta.

Love watching walkthroughs of boats I’ll never afford.
I think this is my favorite yacht. Love the sliding doors at back to close it up
Best presenter I’ve seen! And it’s a nice 2016 boat as well.
I am going to buy one of these yachts for family fun and relaxation. I like the design and the amenities it has.

where are the extra cushions stored for the slide out sofa on the 400 Sundancers?
Just espectacular 🛥
Beautiful yacht, but why would you put a wine chiller in the bedroom closet? WTF over....
This 40 footer. There isn't much more space
Need a lottery ticket.
Is there a video available for start up and operation of the joy stick?
Try searching it up they’ll normally show you how to do it

which camera do you use for this video ?
I wonder if it has a motor. And if it does, I wonder how you get to it. Do you need a chainsaw?
No, you will be given 2 paddles.
Lol
Kira Kira BERAPA Harganya INI ya
The cabinets and storage lockers on this boat looks like genuine ikea . The interior quality on my 2003 Sea Ray shames this .
Me gusta muchísimo
No engines, because it runs on pixie dust.
Супер 👍
Too expensive!
