American Water Sports is pleased to offer this pre-owned 2004 Sea Ray SunDeck 240 - a premium-brand 24-foot family deck boat from Sea Ray's well-developed early-2000s SunDeck lineup, configured with the torque-rich MerCruiser 350 Magnum 5.7L V8 sterndrive powertrain. Available at our Shell Knob location on Table Rock Lake (Stock #U-SK-1411G, Hull #SERV1411G304), this 240 SunDeck is the larger, more passenger-capable platform in the SunDeck family - sized one step up from the more-common 220 SunDeck and delivering meaningful additional cockpit room, additional passenger capacity, and the kind of wide-open deck-boat layout that defines Sea Ray's family-day-on-the-water positioning. The Sea Ray brand pedigree is the headline angle on this listing - Sea Ray is one of the most-recognized American runabout and deck-boat builders, with sixty-plus years of fiberglass boatbuilding heritage and one of the most broadly-developed dealer and parts-support ecosystems in the segment. Paired with the proven MerCruiser 350 Magnum (a marinized 5.7L Chevrolet V8 with the Tower-of-Power-era reliability that defined MerCruiser in the early 2000s), this 240 SunDeck represents premium-brand vintage deck-boat ownership at a value vintage price point. For the family who wants the wide-open deck-boat layout, the larger 24-foot footprint, and the brand-correct premium build quality of Sea Ray, this 2004 SunDeck 240 is one of the more compelling vintage Sea Ray runabouts at our Shell Knob location this season.
Why a 2004 Sea Ray SunDeck 240?
The Sea Ray SunDeck family sits at the intersection of the runabout and the pontoon - a fiberglass deck-boat platform that delivers wide-open passenger room and wraparound seating like a pontoon, but with the V-hull, the speed, the rough-water handling, and the brand-correct fiberglass construction of a traditional runabout. Sea Ray developed the SunDeck family during the early-2000s as the brand's answer to the booming deck-boat segment, and the platform was successful enough to remain in the lineup for over a decade across multiple length variants. The 240 specifically is the larger of the early-2000s production-volume SunDecks - 24 feet of overall length with meaningfully more cockpit volume than the 220 SunDeck, more passenger capacity, more storage, and a more-capable sterndrive powertrain. By 2004, the SunDeck platform was several years into refinement - well-sorted layout, well-developed factory options list, and the kind of brand-pedigree fiberglass construction that defined Sea Ray runabout production during that era. For the family cross-shopping vintage premium-brand deck boats, the 240 SunDeck represents the right size for serious family-day duty without crossing into the bigger, bigger-tow-vehicle, harder-to-store territory of larger sterndrive runabouts.
MerCruiser 350 Magnum 5.7L V8 Sterndrive - Torque-Rich Early-2000s Powertrain
Power on this SunDeck 240 comes from the MerCruiser 350 Magnum - the marinized 5.7-liter Chevrolet small-block V8 that defined MerCruiser's premium sterndrive offering during the early 2000s. The 350 Mag (in standard MPI multi-port-injection trim from this vintage) typically delivered approximately 300-310 horsepower with a strong, broad torque curve that pulls a 24-foot deck boat with a full passenger load comfortably out of the hole and up to cruising speed without straining. The MerCruiser 350 Magnum and the underlying GM 5.7L architecture are among the most-supported marine powertrains in service - parts availability through MerCruiser, GM Marine, and the broad aftermarket is genuinely excellent, and any competent marine inboard/sterndrive mechanic can service these engines with no specialized brand-only tooling required. Coupled with Mercury Bravo or Alpha sterndrive (final outdrive configuration to be verified at walkthrough), the 350 Mag delivers the kind of family-runabout flexibility that defined early-2000s premium-brand deck-boat ownership - strong tow capability for casual tubing and skiing, comfortable cruising speeds across Table Rock Lake's bigger water, and the torque-rich response that makes loading-and-unloading a full passenger group a non-event. For the current engine hour reading, exact outdrive configuration, and recent sterndrive service history on this specific 240 SunDeck, please contact our Shell Knob team for the build specifics.
SunDeck 240 Layout - Wide-Open Family-Day Deck Boat Configuration
The SunDeck 240's deck-boat layout is purpose-built for family-day-on-the-water duty and is one of the platform's most-defining strengths. Standard SunDeck 240 features from this vintage typically include a wide-open bow lounge with wraparound seating and integrated storage, a midship cockpit with the helm position and companion seating forward, a generous aft lounge with wraparound seating around the engine cover, integrated cup holders and storage throughout, an integrated swim platform with boarding ladder, ski-tow eye for casual watersports duty, factory bimini cover, and the kind of marine stereo, navigation light, and bilge-pump equipment standard across early-2000s premium-brand runabout production. The wide bow and the wraparound seating make the SunDeck genuinely family-friendly - more passengers fit comfortably, kids have safe seated positions away from the helm, and the aft lounge is configured for the kind of swimming-and-sandbar use that defines summer-day boating on Table Rock Lake. For specific upholstery condition, bimini condition, helm electronics and audio system spec, factory option content, and trailer status on this specific 2004 SunDeck 240, please see the build specifics section below or contact our Shell Knob team - at this vintage, in-person walkthrough is strongly recommended.
A 22-Year-Old Premium-Brand Runabout - Honest Framing
Let's be honest about what a 22-year-old runabout means in 2026: this is not a near-current-vintage build with as-delivered cosmetic and mechanical condition. This is a vintage premium-brand deck boat priced accordingly - positioned in the affordable-entry-into-Sea-Ray-ownership tier far below current-vintage Sea Ray sterndrive listings and below the near-current-vintage premium runabouts elsewhere in our pre-owned inventory. What you're paying for at this price point is fundamentally a serviceable Sea Ray-branded fiberglass deck-boat platform with a proven MerCruiser 350 Magnum sterndrive powertrain, the wide-open 24-foot deck-boat layout, and an accessible value entry into premium-brand vintage runabout ownership. Cosmetic condition (gel coat, upholstery, canvas, trailer cosmetics), specific accessory equipment, and the precise current condition of helm electronics will reflect the 22-year vintage - buyers should expect honest patina rather than as-delivered presentation, and should plan for the typical maintenance items that come with a vintage sterndrive runabout. The good news is that the Sea Ray fiberglass and the MerCruiser 350 Mag are both among the best-supported, most-easily-serviced platforms in their respective categories. For an in-person evaluation of overall condition, contact our Shell Knob team to schedule a private showing.

2004 Sea Ray 240 Sundeck Video Tours
Boattest.com Review
Overview
The Sea Ray 240 Sundeck is a premium-class bow rider designed with a polished and upscale aesthetic. This stern drive model features a full beam swim platform and is engineered to provide both style and functionality for recreational boating and water sports enthusiasts.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
At the stern, the 240 Sundeck includes a full beam swim platform with the engine located beneath a spacious sun pad behind the aft cockpit seat. This sun pad comfortably accommodates two people and features two drink holders and a small storage cubby to port. Beneath the sun pad lies wet storage with drainage into the bilge, utilizing engine heat to help dry stored items quickly, making it ideal for wet swimsuits and towels. Access to the boat is not limited to the stern; the forward hatch conceals storage shared between an anchor locker and a four-step beach reboarding ladder. To starboard, an optional freshwater shower is available for rinsing off sand before boarding. The foredeck is fully non-skid and accessible via a hatch cover step in the bow, which doubles as a diving platform and an egress point when docking or beaching. The bow seating area benefits from the boat’s generous 8 foot 6 inch beam carried far forward, creating an expanded footwell and a less cramped environment. The upholstery features multiple tones of soft vinyl with contrasting piping, thickly padded seat backs, and double-padded flip-down armrests. Sea Ray has also incorporated three aft-facing seats across the forward bulkhead by adding a padded bolster, increasing the boat’s capacity from 12 to 13 passengers. Hinged seat cushions provide easy access to storage compartments below, and an optional pedestal table creates a popular social gathering spot.
Helm and Cockpit Features
The walkthrough windshield is robustly framed and secured with dual locks to ensure it remains closed, while an automatic latch holds it open without the need for straps or snaps. The helm console includes a lockable access door and a bi-fold air dam opposite it. Inside the console, storage is thoughtfully designed with dedicated space for the cockpit table and a stereo module equipped with a 12-volt supply, MP3 and USB ports, and a padded, non-skid shelf for media devices. Two lockable in-deck storage lockers provide additional secure storage. The cockpit offers ample room for movement, featuring an oversized observer seat that reverses from forward to aft facing. This seat includes a wide armrest trimmed in carbon fiber and an angled grab handle behind a stainless steel drink holder. Blue LED lights illuminate the drink holders, while white courtesy lights are positioned around the deck and beneath the optional wakeboard tower. To port, a standard head compartment with a curved, lockable door includes a small recess for holding items. Inside, a pump-out head is installed, though the space is somewhat compact. Optional finish packages enhance the cockpit with cargo netting, padded bulkheads, and wood-veneered storage shelves on the forward bulkhead. The L-shaped seating wraps around the stern, with padded lumbar areas that flip down to reveal armrests with stainless steel drink holders. Beneath the seating is a door concealing a 25-quart cooler, contributing to the cockpit’s refined appearance. The pedestal table mounts to the side, demonstrating Sea Ray’s efficient use of available space.
Optional Features and Water Sports Capability
For owners focused on water sports, the optional wakeboard tower is a notable addition. It features a custom bimini with powder-coated tubular supports color-matched to the hull. The tower is collapsible, allowing it to be lowered to the windshield by pulling two pins, which reduces overhead clearance for easier storage in most garages.
Conclusion
Sea Ray has crafted the 240 Sundeck as a classy and upscale bow rider that balances aesthetics, comfort, and functionality. The thoughtful design details, premium finishes, and versatile features make it a boat that owners can take pride in. Its combination of spacious seating, ample storage, and water sports capabilities position it well within the premium segment of the market.
