Sea Ray 220 Sundeck: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Boat Test Review on BoatTest.com

Overview

The Sea Ray 220 Sundeck OB is a newly redesigned 20-foot boat that challenges the typical expectations for vessels in its class. Rather than opting for a fast and inexpensive build, Sea Ray has delivered a premium offering with a level of fit and finish usually reserved for much larger boats. This model combines thoughtful design, quality materials, and advanced features, positioning it as a standout in the midsize recreational boat market.

Helm and Exterior Design

At the helm, Sea Ray has implemented a clean and uncluttered layout that prioritizes functionality and aesthetics. The dashboard features four anti-fog gauges with chrome bezels mounted on a glare-reducing panel, complemented by a SmartKraft gauge offering selectable information to minimize visual clutter. The dual-tone vinyl upholstery, with a light tan lower panel and a dark brown sunshade brow, further reduces glare. An optional compass is positioned to the left of the panel, while custom embroidery adds a refined touch. Two carbon fiber sub-panels house lighted rocker switches and a stereo remote, and a cleverly angled storage cubby prevents items from spilling during throttle adjustments. The throttle system is a Mercury Cruiser DTS digital throttle and shift, providing instantaneous response with dedicated buttons for neutral mode and one-touch engine start/stop. The ignition key is thoughtfully located in the lower storage compartment, away from potential knee strikes, activating power to the helm and throttle without starting the engine directly.

Helm Seating and Foredeck Features

The helm seat is a comfortable pedestal-mounted wraparound bucket style, featuring extra lumbar padding, patterned stitching, and multi-colored thicker vinyl upholstery. It offers swivel, slide, and a well-padded flip-up bolster suitable for extended periods of use. On the foredeck, Sea Ray has ingeniously combined the ground tackle compartment with a four-step B-tree boarding ladder, a space-saving design that typically requires separate storage. This integration enhances convenience without compromising functionality.

Engine and Maintenance Accessibility

Our test boat was equipped with an optional 250 horsepower Mercury Verado four-stroke outboard, with standard power being 175 horsepower and a 200 horsepower option also available. The transom is positioned forward enough to allow the engine to tilt fully out of the water. Recognizing the challenges of daily engine checks on outboards, Sea Ray designed platforms on either side of the engine well, providing secure footing for maintenance tasks. This design facilitates easy removal of the engine cowl and access to routine checks and minor maintenance, enhancing overall usability.

Performance and Handling

The Sea Ray 220 Sundeck OB measures 20 feet in length overall, with a beam of 8 feet 4 inches and a draft of 3 feet 3 inches. The boat's empty weight is 3,790 pounds; with half fuel and two people aboard, the test weight was 4,342 pounds. Powered by the 250 horsepower Mercury Verado turning a 17-inch pitch inertia propeller, the boat achieved a top speed of 53.4 miles per hour at 6,400 RPM, consuming 27.75 gallons per hour and offering a range of 78 miles at that speed. The most efficient cruise occurred at 3,500 RPM and 23.9 miles per hour, reducing fuel burn to 6.05 gallons per hour and extending range to 159 miles with an endurance of nearly seven hours while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve. Acceleration was brisk, with a time to plane of 3.6 seconds and reaching 50 miles per hour in 12.8 seconds. The boat exhibits a 13-degree bow-high attitude during acceleration, settling to 5 degrees at cruise. Optimal running attitude is achieved by trimming up to the one-quarter mark. Handling is responsive and confident, with no tendency to chine walk or fall off turns. While aggressive maneuvers can induce propeller ventilation, normal operation remains stable, and lowering trim alleviates ventilation. The digital throttle ensures instantaneous response, and the boat tends to lose speed in turns, warranting added power when cornering.

Noise and Visibility

A notable characteristic of the 220 Sundeck OB is its quiet operation. The combination of the Mercury Verado outboard and the hull's solid construction results in minimal noise, primarily limited to wind, allowing for comfortable conversation even at cruising speeds. The windshield is raked back at a 20-degree angle, lending a sleek, sporty appearance. However, for taller operators, the windshield frame can obstruct the line of sight, a situation remedied by using the helm seat's bolster position. When decelerating, the boat settles stern-first into the water, contributing to smooth handling.

Conclusion

The Sea Ray 220 Sundeck OB is a well-executed midsize boat that combines premium build quality with thoughtful design and strong performance. Its refined helm layout, comfortable seating, innovative storage solutions, and accessible engine maintenance features set it apart from typical offerings in this class. On the water, it delivers responsive handling, efficient cruising, and a notably quiet ride, making it a compelling choice for boaters seeking a high-quality 20-foot vessel.
