Brand new teak style rear deck. 2013 BBQ. 2012 Bimini tops and windows. Interior and exterior in incredible condition Sea Ray's are by far the best quality boats in this size segment which is why they hold there value so much better than other brands. This model is actually over 31 feet in length and they changed its name to the 320 the following year. This is the brand new design for 2006 totally different than the 2005's. This boat is the perfect size, good on gas, small enough to be very fast, very easy to drive, manoeuver and park but still can sleep 4 adults and 2 or 3 kids comfortably with its 2 double beds and multiple interior and exterior couches. Things we love about this new design for 2006:You can walk right into the interior cabin without even bending down!Lots of very intelligent exterior space, wet bar, 2 sinks, 2 full size double beds. Just buffed, meticulously maintained from A-Z. Boat is in incredible condition and has always been serviced and maintained to schedule. Everything works perfectly.

I don't know if they hired new designers, but the fresh thinking that went into the layout of this boat certainly suggests that--or they REALLY started with a clean sheet of paper--since this Sundancer is unlike any you've ever seen before. I'll cut right to the chase. The three biggest changes have to do with the cockpit layout, the companionway door, and the forward berth. For 2006 Sea Ray is stressing maximum movability in the cockpit, so they've removed the older athwartships L-lounges all together. This makes it a snap to walk from the transom door forward to the helm and companionway. Unlike the earlier version, this curved companionway door is fully over to port, freeing up room below. And since its off to the side now (the helm is still to starboard) the companionway door(s) (the inner one has fixed screens) are flat and vertical, without the molded-in steps we've been so used to seeing on Sundancers in this size. Now, you access the foredeck on the centerline as before, but your first step is into a recessed area and then on up to the foredeck. This boat also had what Sea Ray is a calling an optional "arch top," which takes the traditional radar arch and adds a flare fore and aft for better coverage from the elements. I also appreciated the Lofrans Marlin windlass hidden under a cover up on the bow, and the grab rail on the top of the arch top for a secure feel when returning to the cockpit (you will have to duck a little as you come back down, but its not a big deal). Another nice touch is the putty-colored helm, which greatly reduces glare on the rugged, powder-coated windshield (also a new look for 2006). But perhaps the biggest change is in the cabin. Gone is the traditional V-berth with filler cushion up forward. That's been replaced with an innovative full beam bed mattress that can be pulled aft easily to convert the berth into a sofa. That sits right next to another fixed sofa to port, giving instant seating for four, AND in a wider part of the boat than trying to cram everyone up to the bow. Well done!
