Vessel Overview
Jackarita is a 1998 Sea Ray Sundancer 370 and has many upgrades and up to date maintenance which means this boat is ready to step aboard and go cruising.  The current owner has owned Jackarita for approximately 22 years and has always kept it in a covered slip.  In 2007 he chose to repower the boat with new Mercruiser 8.1s Horizon 370 HP motors because he did not feel the standard 7.4 Mercruisers at 310 HP provided adequate performance. Jackarita can cruise at 25 knots at 3600 rpm if desired.  He also replaced the transmissions so they were properly matched with the new larger engines and installed a new 5KW Westerbeke generator at the same time.
The gelcoat has an excellent shine thanks to regular maintenance and being in a covered slip.  The stainless shows very well and there is a canvass cockpit cover for when the vessel is not in use. The top and eisenglas is in very good condition.
Stepping aboard from the transom there is a fixed swim platform and a transom storage locker.  The transom door located on the port side allows entry into the cockpit area which has new carpet. (2024)  There is U shaped seating on the starboard side and single seating on the port side.  This upholstery was new in 2020.  Forward of the portside seating is a cabinet which houses a wet bar with sink and an icemaker (new 2018) with additional seating forward of the icemaker.  There is a power adjustable helm seat on the starboard side. 
The well equipped helm is located forward on the starboard side and has all pertinent engine gauges and a full array of electronics.  These include Raymarine E80 (2018) MFD chartplotter, radar and bottom sounder. There is also a Raymarine RN300 GPS, RayData depth sounder,Raypilot Autopilot and Ray 210 VHF.  A 5" Richie compass is located at the helm along with trim tab controls, and remote spotlight controls. 
The acrylic cabin entry door is located to port and leads to the steps leading down into the main cabin.  The electrical panel is located directly to port of the entryway and the well appointed galley is located on the port side of the main cabin.  The galley features a newer refrigerator (2018), a sink, microwave oven, three burner electric cooktop, coffeemaker and ample storage and counter space.
Immediately to starboard upon entering is the mid cabin stateroom with a conversation pit that converts to a double berth, hanging locker and vanity with drawers.  Forward of the mid cabin on the starboard side of the main cabin is the seating/dinette area.  It features a dining table and seating that converts to a sleeping area.  
Forward of the galley on the port side is the large private head with a separate shower stall.  There is a sink and vanity along with a freshwater VacuFlush toilet system in the head.
All the way forward in the main cabin is the entrance to the main stateroom with a centerline island berth with storage below.  There are two hanging lockers, two vanities and a sliding door for privacy.  Of course the stateroom and entire cabin has air conditioning/heat supplied by two separate units.
The engine compartment is accessed by a large electrically operated bilge service hatch which lifts up a large portion of the cockpit deck for easy access to the engines and bilges. The engine compartment, like the rest of the vessel is clean and well maintained. There are a total of five batteries that were new in 2022.  The standard smaller 7.4 Mercruiser engines were replaced in 2007 with the larger 8.1 Mercruisers for much improved performance.  In 2024 the risers and manifolds were replaced along with a total engine service.  Fresh bottom paint was applied in 2024 along with new cutlass bearings, new prop shafts and new shaft seals.
Jackarita is ready mechanically and cosmetically to begin cruising with the new owner.
