1997 Sea Ray 370 Sundancer - Twin CAT 3116 Diesels - Freshwater Only - 599 Hours
If you've been looking for a well-maintained Sea Ray 370 Sundancer with desirable diesel power, low engine hours, and a long history of careful ownership, this boat is worth a closer look.
This 1997 Sea Ray 370 Sundancer is a great example of one of Sea Ray's most popular express cruisers. What really sets this boat apart is its power package: twin Caterpillar 3116 diesel inboard engines producing 300 HP each, with 599 hours on both engines. Diesel-powered 370 Sundancers are considerably less common than their gasoline counterparts, making this a particularly desirable configuration.
With just two owners since new, the current owners have enjoyed the boat for the past 22 years. During that time, it has been consistently used and well maintained, with all service performed at The Wharf Marina in Grand Haven. CAT oil and filters have been used for the engines, and maintenance records are available for prospective buyers
One of the biggest advantages of this boat is its history. It has been freshwater-only since new and has never been in saltwater. It has also been stored in heated indoor storage every winter for the past 22 years. The bottom was professionally sandblasted and repainted in 2024, and the boat is waxed every fall. The care and attention it has received over the years are evident throughout.
The original interior is in excellent condition, with the upholstery and carpeting both in great shape. The cockpit carpeting has been carefully stored by the current owners and has not been used during their ownership. The cockpit canvas has been replaced over time and remains in good condition. The spacious cockpit features comfortable seating, a wet bar, and an ice maker, making it a great space for entertaining. A cockpit cover provides added protection from the elements.
Below deck, the 370 Sundancer offers comfortable accommodations for up to six, with a forward stateroom, mid-cabin berth, and convertible salon seating. The full galley includes a refrigerator, stove, sink, and ample storage, while the enclosed head with separate shower adds convenience for weekends and extended time on the water.
Overall, this is a very nice opportunity to own a well-maintained, freshwater-only Sea Ray 370 Sundancer with the desirable twin CAT diesel setup. Between the low engine hours, 22 years of consistent ownership, heated indoor storage, and up-to-date maintenance, this boat has a lot going for it. Everything is working as designed, and there are no known issues.
"James Gang" is currently located at The Wharf Marina in Grand Haven, Michigan, and is available for viewing by appointment only. The current slip will also be available to rent at an additional cost.
Serious inquiries are welcome. Come take a look for yourself!

Sea Ray SUNDANCER 370: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Sea Ray 370 Sundancer represents a significant evolution in the Sundancer line, emerging as the first product developed at the Brunswick Boat Group Technology Center. This model redefines expectations with thoughtful design and innovative features, blending comfort, style, and functionality. It is a yacht-certified vessel capable of entertaining up to 18 guests on the main deck and accommodating four overnight guests below deck.
Exterior Design and Cockpit
The cockpit is designed for social gatherings with opposing seating arrangements: a J-shaped lounge on the starboard side and an L-shaped lounge on the port side. Upholstery features a distinctive pill shape and a wave pattern that transitions into a diamond motif, a theme echoed throughout the boat’s decking and overhead. The hardtop stands six feet, eight inches above the deck and includes an opening sunroof and forward vents for ventilation. A port-side refreshment center is equipped with Corian counters resembling white onyx, housing an electric grill, a sink with a flip-up faucet, dedicated storage, a pull-out refrigerator, and a trash receptacle. The starboard side mirrors this design with additional beverage holders, courtesy lighting, and cell phone connectivity. A dual-function gate opens both inward and outward, cleverly folding down to remain hidden behind the bulwarks when open outward.
Swim Platform and Aft Seating
The swim platform extends 21 inches from the transom, maintaining generous space despite the presence of outboard engines. It features extensions on both sides and SeaDek matting with a diamond pattern consistent with the boat’s upholstery. A four-step reboarding ladder is angled to provide safe access away from the running gear and can be deployed with the hatch closed or opened for fresh water rinsing. The port side of the transom includes fender and line storage as well as a water toy inflator. The aft seating area converts into a sun pad by lowering the table and adding a filler cushion, or into aft-facing seating with gas-assisted, robust hardware for ease of use. A SureShade extendable awning deploys from the hardtop’s trailing edge to provide shade over this area.
Helm and Forward Deck
A notable departure from previous Sundancer models is the extensive use of glass surrounding the helm area. The windshield extends fully around with an option for full glass sides, enhancing visibility and natural light. The helm seat is 39 inches wide with a flip-up bolster and fixed positioning, complemented by 110-volt outlets, phone connectivity, teak-trimmed beverage holders, and diamond-patterned speaker covers. The overhead includes an opening sunroof and vent. Additional thoughtful features include a footrest for the captain and an offset companionway that preserves ample cabin access. The companionway door closes smoothly on twin gas-assisted struts and features an inward-opening air dam to prevent wind from forcing it open. The walk-through to the bow is facilitated by a gentle angled ramp, eliminating abrupt steps.
Bow Lounge and Entertainment
The bow area offers 24-inch-high bulwarks and rails for safety, with teak detailing around beverage holders and diamond-patterned speaker covers. Seating includes a three-across lounge with flip-down armrests and wraparound aft-facing seats. A pedestal table can be added for dining or lowered to form a sun pad. A flip-up seat back provides additional comfort when dining. The entire main deck can be shaded by a sunshade supported by four carbon fiber stanchions, effectively covering the boat.
Interior Living Spaces
Below deck, the 370 Sundancer offers a spacious cabin with seven feet of overhead clearance and a 23-inch-wide companionway. Natural light floods the interior through a skylight and hull-side windows. The galley, located to port, features white onyx Corian countertops, a covered stainless steel sink, microwave, refrigerator, and dedicated storage. Forward of the galley is an L-shaped seating area with a 32-inch TV and a hanging locker. This seating area converts easily into a berth via a simple lift-and-push button mechanism, providing a solid and supportive sleeping surface. The mid-cabin serves as a comfortable social area with 43 inches of overhead clearance and 33 inches from seat to overhead. It includes hull-side windows, ultra leather upholstery, and concealed storage with ventilation for audio amplifiers. The seating converts into an additional berth by repositioning seat backs without the need for extra cushions.
Private Accommodations and Head
The head compartment is located starboard across from the galley and features a walk-in shower with a teak seat, black onyx Corian surfaces, a vessel sink, and hull-side windows in both the shower and main head area. Storage is thoughtfully arranged above and below the sink, and a rail alongside the toilet provides additional storage space. The overall layout maximizes space and convenience while maintaining high-quality materials and finishes.
Conclusion
The Sea Ray 370 Sundancer is a well-executed blend of innovative design, comfort, and functionality. It reflects Sea Ray’s commitment to responding to customer feedback and elevating the Sundancer experience. With yacht certification, ample seating and sleeping accommodations, and numerous thoughtful touches throughout, this model sets a new standard for the Sundancer line. Its combination of elegant styling, practical features, and quality craftsmanship make it a compelling choice for those seeking a versatile and comfortable express cruiser.
