Manufacturer Provided Description

The Sea Ray 270 Sundancer Special is fully trailerable but still has all the amenities at an attractive price. The cockpit is quite spacious with an adjustable helm seat, portside sun lounger, an aft-facing bench seat and a convenient foldaway aft bench seat. There's also cockpit bolsters for added comfort. The self-bailing fiberglass cockpit liner is durable and easy to clean. A stylish burl wood instrument panel houses Sea Ray's custom backlit instrumentation with low-glare blue night lighting and dimmer control. A transom door makes it easy to get to the large swim platform while a stainless steel transom rail and companionway grab handle make it safe. Storage space is plentiful, beneath the helm and aft-facing seats and in the cockpit side panels. There's also a cockpit cooler for snacks and beverage holders throughout the craft. Inside the cabin is a convertible dinette and V-berth with filler cushions. The interior gets plenty of natural light from a large 20 by 20 inch translucent deck hatch that can be opened for fresh air. There's also 12V directional lighting. The 270 Sundancer Special Edition has a comfortable mid-stateroom with extra sleeping space in a double bunk with storage cabinets and shelves, mirrored bulkhead, screened window and privacy curtain. The 270 Sundancer Special Edition has a complete galley with fiberglass countertop, sink, stove and refrigerator and standard microwave. Fiberglass construction is also used in the enclosed stand-up head where the shower, curtain, sink and portable head with dockside pump-out are all standard. The technical features on the 270 Sundancer Special Edition are just as generous as the space. Dockside power, remote oil filter, dual battery switch, power steering, tilt steering, power tilt and trim and hydraulic trim tabs all make the captain's job a sheer joy. Additional safety features make you feel secure at all times including a halon system, standard carbon monoxide monitor in the cabin, high water bilge alarm and pump and more. A Sunbrella bimini top with interlocking top extrusion, boot and vertical top storage comes with the standard windshield.
