2008 Sea Ray Sundancer 240 powered by Mercruiser with low hours and trailer included!

The 2008 Sea Ray 240 Sundancer stands as a benchmark in the "pocket cruiser" category, offering a sophisticated blend of luxury, trailerability, and performance. Designed for families and couples looking to transition from basic bowriders to overnight cruising, this model packs an impressive array of amenities into a hull that remains manageable for a single operator.Design and Hull EngineeringMeasuring 24'8" with a standard 8'6" beam, the 240 Sundancer is built on a modified V-hull with an 18-degree deadrise. This design is engineered to provide a stable, dry ride in light-to-moderate chop while maintaining the agility needed for water sports. One of its most distinctive design shifts for the 2008 model year was the move toward a more social "conversation area" in the cockpit, moving away from traditional rigid seating to a layout that encourages interaction.Performance and PowerThe heart of the 2008 model is typically the MerCruiser 5.0L MPI Bravo III engine, producing 260 horsepower. The Bravo III outdrive, featuring counter-rotating stainless steel propellers, is a critical component for this boat; it provides excellent "hole shot" acceleration and superior low-speed maneuverability, which is essential when docking a high-profile cruiser in breezy conditions. Owners can expect a comfortable cruising speed of around 28-30 mph and a top speed that nudges 42 mph.Cabin and AccommodationsDespite its compact footprint, the cabin is a masterpiece of space optimization. It features two distinct berths--a convertible forward V-berth and a permanent mid-cabin double berth--allowing it to sleep four adults. The galley is remarkably functional, equipped with a microwave, refrigerator, and a single-burner stove. Perhaps its most valued feature is the enclosed head compartment, which includes a vanity, sink, and a pump-out toilet, providing the essential comforts of home while at sea.Capacities and LogisticsFor day trips, the 240 Sundancer is Yacht Certified but officially rated for 10 passengers. It carries 75 gallons of fuel and 20 gallons of fresh water, which is ample for a full weekend of island hopping. While its dry weight sits at 5,593 lbs, once you account for fuel, water, and gear, the boat's displacement rises significantly. This makes it a "heavy tow," typically requiring a three-quarter-ton truck or a capable SUV for safe transport.Ownership and Market ValueIn the current used market, the 2008 Sea Ray 240 Sundancer remains highly sought after due to Sea Ray's reputation for build quality and the use of premium materials like vinylester resin and marine-grade vinyls. While it generally relies on shore power for air conditioning rather than an onboard generator, its systems are straightforward to maintain. It represents an ideal entry point for those seeking the "Sundancer lifestyle"--a world where the day doesn't have to end just because the sun goes down.Would you like me to create a pre-purchase inspection checklist to help you evaluate a specific unit?
