300 Sundancer

With her oval port lights, low-profile arch, and sculptured lines, this third version of Sea Ray’s 300 Sundancer series was one of the best-looking sportboats in the market during the late 1990s. She’s built on the same easy-riding deep-V hull used in the production of the previous 300 Sundancer model (1992–93), but with a restyled profile, updated interior, additional (and badly needed) fuel capacity, and a revised cockpit layout. Accommodations for six are provided below in two different floorplan configurations, both with a standup head with shower, full galley, two hanging lockers, and a convertible dinette. On deck, visibility from the triple helm seat is very good, and a protected chart flat is built into the dash. A filler converts the U-shaped cockpit seating aft of the helm into a large sun pad. Additional features include a walk-through transom, molded bow pulpit, radar arch, and good engine access. Offered with inboard or sterndrive power, twin 250hp MerCruiser V-drive inboards cruise at 19–20 knots (about 30 knots top). The less-popular sterndrive versions of the same engines cruise in the low 20s and top out at close to 35 knots.
