Sea Ray 500 Sundancer: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The SeaRay 500 Sundancer is a luxury express cruiser designed for both comfort and performance. This review provides a comprehensive evaluation of its operational features, handling, and onboard accommodations, highlighting the vessel's engineering, ergonomics, and sea trial results.

Engine Access and Mechanical Layout

Engine access on the 500 Sundancer is facilitated by a centrally located hatch in the cockpit deck, featuring a surrounding gutter system that channels water to an overboard drain. Although the engine compartment is somewhat compact, routine checks are manageable. The boat is powered by twin 526 horsepower Cummins MerCruiser diesel engines, each supplied by dual Raycor filters with ball valves enabling filter isolation for maintenance without engine shutdown. Raw water strainers are positioned near the ladder base, with engine start batteries located just behind. Wiring is neatly arranged, and all hoses are double clamped with protective measures against sharp edges. The generator, positioned forward within the compartment, is mounted with its fuel filter secured to a sound shield. Buyers can select from 7, 8, or 11.5 kW genset options.

Exterior Design and Deck Features

Access to the side decks is convenient via T-shaped steps to port and a removable seat cushion to starboard, complemented by strategically placed grab handles along the steps and hardtop to ensure safe movement to the bow. The bow area is notable for its substantial windshield with electrically operated opening vents at the base, enhancing ventilation. Safety is emphasized with 32-inch high rails exceeding standard requirements. Operational controls include foot pedals for the windlass on the port side, dual hatches providing access to the all-chain rode, and a heavy-duty plow anchor secured on a stainless steel davit.

Helm and Bridge Layout

The helm deck offers a generous overhead clearance of 6 feet 6.5 inches and dual opening skylights, creating an airy environment. The helm station is finished in foam marble and equipped with twin 12-inch multifunction displays alongside a MerCruiser VesselView display. Heated air conditioning vents flank the helm, providing comfort in various conditions. Analog gauges are thoughtfully positioned in typically underutilized spaces. The helm seat features a padded thigh-high bolster, while the Zeus joystick is ergonomically placed for ease of use, especially when maneuvering aft. Engine controls are positioned according to customer feedback, though the reviewer noted a lack of armrest support for fine throttle adjustments in rough seas. The Precision Pilot control module is conveniently located adjacent to the controls. Visibility from both seated and standing positions is excellent due to the tall windshields. Both captain and observer benefit from individual seats with flip-up bolsters and armrests.

Performance and Handling

During sea trials, the 500 Sundancer demonstrated responsive and precise handling, particularly at low speeds, aided by the Zeus pod propulsion system. The vessel exhibited a modest bow rise of approximately 10 degrees upon acceleration without impairing forward visibility. Steering required only two turns from lock to lock, producing a comfortable five-degree heel angle. The test boat, weighing 42,791 pounds with fuel and four passengers, achieved a top speed of 34 knots at 3,030 RPM, consuming 59.9 gallons per hour and offering a range of 204 nautical miles. Optimal cruising speed was 26.1 knots at 2,600 RPM with a fuel burn of 41.2 gallons per hour, extending the range to 228 nautical miles. The boat reached planing speed in 9.7 seconds and accelerated through 30 mph in 18 seconds. In challenging conditions with 15-20 mph winds and an outgoing tide, the 500 Sundancer maintained a smooth, dry ride with minimal pounding, effectively deflecting water spray. Trimming the bow up improved dryness at a slight cost to speed. The vessel handled beam seas with surprising comfort and allowed increased speed in head seas. In following seas, the boat tracked straight and maintained bow elevation with trim tabs, even at wide-open throttle. Docking maneuvers were simplified by the Zeus joystick system.

Conclusion

The SeaRay 500 Sundancer combines thoughtful design, solid engineering, and strong performance to deliver a capable and comfortable express cruiser. Its well-considered mechanical layout, ergonomic helm, and responsive handling make it suitable for varied sea conditions and cruising scenarios. The vessel's features and performance characteristics reflect SeaRay's commitment to quality and customer feedback.
