The first of several 260 Sundancer models offered by Sea Ray over the years, this was the most popular by far. (In fact, this is arguably the bestselling 26-foot cruiser ever produced, period.) A successful mix of modern styling and space-efficient accommodations, the 260 is packed with thoughtful features inside and out. Beginning with an uncluttered cockpit with wet bar, portside lounger, and transom door, the stern bench seat folds out of the way when not needed and the rear facing bench seat converts to a sun lounge. A centerline companionway leads to the 260’s cherry-trimmed salon with full-service galley to port, convertible V-berth/dinette forward, mid-berth aft, and an enclosed head/shower to starboard. A walk-thru windshield leads to the foredeck, and molded access steps are built into in the sliding companionway door. Additional features include an extended swim platform, cockpit shower, flip-up helm seat, cockpit table, power tilt wheel, and a big transom storage compartment. A reverse arch was a popular option. Built on a solid fiberglass hull, a single 310hp MerCruiser sterndrive will cruise the 260 Sundancer in the low 20s (about 35 knots top).
