"Do Some More" is an extensively upgraded and well-proven 1996 Sea Ray 450 Sundancer that combines Sea Ray's respected offshore design with modern systems and true cruising capability. Built on the factory-referenced Icebreaker hull, this vessel delivers a solid, confidence-inspiring ride and has successfully completed the Florida Loop in 2023, demonstrating reliability well beyond dockside use. Powered by twin Caterpillar 3126 diesel engines and supported by a Kohler generator with sound shield, the mechanical systems are reported to be at baseline or better and reflect consistent, knowledgeable ownership.
This 450 Sundancer has been thoughtfully modernized with upgrades that matter for real-world cruising. Highlights include a full Raymarine electronics suite with Flow-Scan fuel monitoring, bow and stern thrusters with remote control, Starlink satellite internet, and a recently installed $49,000 Sealift hydraulic swim platform that dramatically improves dinghy handling and water access. Interior spaces have been refreshed with new soft goods, LVP flooring, updated refrigeration, and improved sanitation systems, while exterior improvements include new canvas, re-bedded hatches and portlights, and upgraded ground tackle.
Rather than a lightly updated express cruiser, "Do Some More" represents a rare opportunity to own a turn-key, loop-capable diesel Sundancer that has already proven herself on extended cruising routes. She offers the comfort, control, redundancy, and systems depth that discerning buyers look for, without the cost or complexity of a newer replacement vessel.
