This 2005 Sea Ray 240 Sundeck is ready for a new home. It is a Skipperbud's original and sold by our Chicago Sea Ray store back in 2005 and is one of the best riding hulls Sea Ray ever designed. Being 26'4" in total length (with the standard platform), it feels much larger than todays 24FT boats on the market. The Mercruiser 5.0L Bravo 3 (with a completely reconditioned outdrive) features 548 engine hours, and a top speed range of 40-42 miles an hour. This boat is clean, polished, and ready to provide its new home with an least 500 more hours of memories with you, your family, and friends. This boat is currently marked down to $19,995 for our used event and includes free storage till spring.

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.
