Summary
2005 Sea Ray 500 Sundancer
PowerBoat Guide Description

The Sea Ray 500 Sundancer (called the 52 Sundancer in 2007–09) took a back seat to few other yachts of her type when it came to executive-class luxury and leading-edge design. Built on a deep-V hull with prop pockets to reduce the shaft angle, the Sundancer’s innovative cockpit layout is notable. Arranged with a unique rotating lounge, the cockpit forms a single entertaining area rather than the divided space found in other express yachts. Another major change is found below; instead of the ubiquitous mid-cabin floorplan, both of the Sundancer’s staterooms are forward. While there’s a foldout bed option aft, this area is now part of the main salon making it even grander than before with posh Ultraleather sofas, 6'8" headroom, and built-in flat screen TV/DVD. There are two heads in this layout, and the galley includes plenty of storage as well as a hardwood floor. An extended swim platform, cherry interior cabinets, and a hardtop were standard. A well finished yacht, 640hp Cummins V-drive diesels cruise the 500/52 Sundancer at 26–28 knots (30+ top).
