Power Boat Guide Write Up

Yet another Sea Ray sales success story, the 420 Sundancer (called the 44 Sundancer in 2006–08) set the gold standard for express yacht styling and luxury during her production years. Indeed, her muscular lines compared well with the best Mediterranean sportcruisers of her era, and a large cockpit and spacious interior made many of her European counterparts seem small in comparison. Built on a deep-V hull with prop pockets and a relatively wide 14-foot beam, the luxurious two-stateroom, two-head floor-plan of the 420 Sundancer is an impressive blend of high-gloss cherry joinery, Ultra-leather seating, and designer fabrics. Privacy doors (not curtains) separate both staterooms from the salon, and the Sundancer’s full-service galley includes an under-counter refrigerator/freezer in addition to Corian counters and hardwood flooring. Topside, a flip-up bolster seat is standard at the helm, and the entire cockpit sole can be raised at the push of a button for engine access. Note the extended swim platform, split forward head, and underwater exhaust system.
