If you are looking for a vessel that has been extremely well maintained, is highly upgraded and ready for cruising, you should look at Jackarita.
Jackarita is a 1998 Sea Ray Sundancer 370 and has many upgrades and up to date maintenance which means this boat is ready to step aboard and go cruising. The current owner has owned Jackarita for approximately 22 years and has always kept it in a covered slip. In 2007 he chose to repower the boat with new Mercruiser 8.1s Horizon 370 HP motors because he did not feel the standard 7.4 Mercruisers at 310 HP provided adequate performance. Jackarita can cruise at 25 knots at 3600 rpm if desired. He also replaced the transmissions so they were properly matched with the new larger engines and installed a new 5KW Westerbeke generator at the same time.
The gelcoat has an excellent shine thanks to regular maintenance and being in a covered slip. The stainless shows very well and there is a canvass cockpit cover for when the vessel is not in use. The top and eisenglas is in very good condition.
Stepping aboard from the transom there is a fixed swim platform and a transom storage locker. The transom door located on the port side allows entry into the cockpit area which has new carpet.

These include Raymarine E80 (2018) MFD chartplotter, radar and bottom sounder. There is also a Raymarine RN300 GPS, RayData depth sounder,Raypilot Autopilot and Ray 210 VHF. A 5" Richie compass is located at the helm along with trim tab controls, and remote spotlight controls.

The engine compartment, like the rest of the vessel is clean and well maintained. There are a total of five batteries that were new in 2022. The standard smaller 7.4 Mercruiser engines were replaced in 2007 with the larger 8.1 Mercruisers for much improved performance. In 2024 the risers and manifolds were replaced along with a total engine service. Fresh bottom paint was applied in 2024 along with new cutlass bearings, new prop shafts and new shaft seals.
