The sleek styling speaks volumes about Sea Ray's ability to incorporate European design influences in an American built yacht. Built on a cored hull with prop pockets and underwater exhausts, the 420 has more interior space than seems possible in a yacht this size. Her three stateroom floor plan is arranged with double berths in the fore and aft staterooms, while the second guest stateroom extends under the salon sole, can double as a laundry room. The galley is down allowing space in the salon for an L shape dinette. Topside, a fiberglass dodger surrounds the aft deck, and molded steps descend to a wide swim platform. Additional features include a spacious flybridge, wide side decks, radar arch, transom storage and an aft deck wet bar. Powered by dependable Caterpillar 340HP diesels with Westerbeke generator providing reverse cycle air conditioning and heat.
From 2021 to present, approximately $100K was spent on upgrades and improvements including new hard bottom center console dinghy and outboard, custom davit, new electronics, new batteries and charger, complete new enclosures on bridge and sundeck and much more. Exceptional condition. Must see!
