NEW ARRIVAL!!! Very Clean and Very Desirable 50' SEA RAY
New Sea Deck flooring, New Saloon Carpets, and Bow Sunpads.
Sea Ray 500 is a lot of boat. With powerful styling, feature-rich accomodations, and a vast interior with enormous salon this yacht is sure to please. Powered by twin diesel Caterpillar engines, she will cruise at 28 knots. Loaded with hydraulic swim platform, westerbeke generator, radar, cablemaster, A/C, heat, two staterooms and two heads, washer/dryer combo, Bow Thruster this yacht provides everything you need to be out on the water.
PowerBoat Guide had this to say. Sea Ray's largest Sundancer model ever when she was introduced, the 480 Sundancer was one of the most impressive express yachts on the market during the 1990s. With her long foredeck and sleek profile, the 500 combined luxury and extravagance in what was once a state-of-the-art package. Her sheer size is impressive enough, but it's the expansive, high-style interior that caused first-time viewers to catch their breath. Here, laid out on a single level and presenting a panorama of curved bulkheads and designer furnishings, the Sundancer's accommodations rival those of a small motor yacht. There are two private staterooms, two heads (each with a stall shower), a plush U-shaped sofa aft, and a wide-open salon with excellent headroom throughout. The cockpit-with its triple companion seat, full wet bar, and circular lounge seating-can seat a small crowd. Additional features include a reverse sport arch, wide side decks, and a huge engine room.
