Sea Ray Yachts 450 Sundancer

Beginning in 2006, pod drive propulsion systems have evolved from a novel engineering concept to a marine industry game changer. Led by Tiara Yachts, builders have begun to introduce new models specifically designed for pod drive power. The 450 Sundancer is one of these new-breed designs, a high-impact sport yacht whose innovative interior offers something different from previous Sundancer models—a media room, complete with 37" TV, leather settee and cocktail tables. Because the Zeus pod drives used in the 450 require less engine room space than traditional V-drive inboards, Sea Ray engineers were able to create a much larger amidships area aft of the salon—space dedicated a second stateroom in previous Sundancer models but now used for the 450’s media room. In other respects, the 450 Sundancer follows the pattern of previous Sundancer model introductions: cutting-edge styling, sumptuous accommodations, and yacht-class construction. Features include a hardtop with retractable sunroof, huge cockpit with full-service wet bar, and joystick controls. Cruise at 25 knots (30+ top) with 364hp Cummins diesels with Zeus drives.
