An extremely popular boat with family-size accommodations and a comfortable ride, the 270 Sundancer enjoyed a long and successful production run for Sea Ray during the mid-to-late 1980s. She was built on a solid fiberglass deep-V hull, and a wide 10-foot beam provides plenty of room below decks for a comfortable interior. Aside from the normal fabric and decor updates, the 270’s midcabin floorplan layout remained essentially unchanged over the years. With a complete galley and enclosed stand-up head, there are berths for six including a V-berth forward, a double berth aft, and a convertible dinette in the main cabin. In 1987, the original mica interior woodwork gave way to teak, and a radar arch became standard. The cockpit is arranged with an elevated double-wide helm seat, in-deck storage, transom door, and bench seating at the transom. A teak bow pulpit and swim platform with ladder were standard. Several sterndrive engine options were offered during her production years. Among them, a pair of 260hp MerCruisers cruise the 270 Sundancer in the low 20s and reach a top speed of close to 35 knots.
