Sea Ray 220 Sundeck Boats For Sale

The Sea Ray 220 Sundeck is a 23-and-a-half-foot deck boat built around a beam of 8 feet 6 inches and a hull weight of about 4,370 pounds, with capacity ratings of 10 to 12 people. Unlike most deck boats that ride on a modified-V, the Sundeck 220 uses a true deep-V hull, which keeps it on plane easily and lets it cut through chop rather than slam through it. The broad, deep bow gives the cockpit unusual room for a 22-foot boat, and the wide swim platform and family seating make it a strong fit for buyers who want to tow kids, anchor out, and carry a crowd. Model years from 2005 and 2006 through 2010 and 2014 turn up regularly when you look at a Sea Ray 220 Sundeck for sale.

Power varies by year and is the first thing to check on any Sea Ray 220 Sundeck for sale by owner. Many carry the 5.0L MerCruiser MPI making 260 horsepower, often paired with the Bravo 3 dual counter-rotating sterndrive for easy low-speed maneuvering, though some came with an Alpha single-prop drive instead. Later boats were offered as a Sea Ray 220 Sundeck OB, including a Mercury 200-horsepower Verado four-stroke outboard with a stainless prop, which frees up the transom and adds extended swim steps to both port and starboard.

Performance numbers come from a 5.0L MPI boat on a Bravo 3 drive spinning 22-inch stainless Bravo 3 props. Top speed reached 47.1 mph at 5,000 rpm while burning 19.3 gallons per hour. Time to plane was 4.1 seconds and 0 to 30 mph took 7.7 seconds. The most efficient cruise fell at 3,000 rpm and 25.3 mph, where the engine burned 6.8 gallons per hour for 3.7 miles per gallon, useful figures if fuel consumption and range matter to you.

The helm centers on SmartCraft digital instrumentation that manages fuel and engine functions and includes troll control to hold a true course at no-wake speeds. A tilting three-spoke wheel, an oversized captain's seat with a flip-up bolster, and a stereo system (Sony remote on some boats, Rockford Fosgate on others) with an iPod or USB port round it out. The single-piece tempered-glass windshield blocks wind, and the captain's seat swivels to join the cockpit conversation.

The cockpit pairs an L-shaped lounge with seating that swivels and a stern bench that flips from forward-facing to a sun pad in seconds. Storage is a defining feature: a continuous in-floor locker running fore-and-aft on twin gas struts, a transom trunk, a forward locker with a stainless locking latch, and ski-and-wakeboard space under the sun pad. The anchor locker doubles as the bow boarding ladder housing, and bow and stern showers are stainless steel. A changing room with a portable head sits to port, unusual in a 22-foot boat, and the Sundeck is one of the few that takes a wakeboard tower while keeping a full cockpit bimini for shade.

Build quality shows in the hardware: resin transfer molded fiberglass parts, stainless cleats and grab rails, full piano hinges, gas-assisted struts, and hatches molded finished on both sides. When weighing a Sea Ray 220 Sundeck price, check engine hours and drive type, since well-kept examples with 90 to roughly 330 hours come up, often with a matched Sea Ray tandem-axle trailer. Confirm whether you're getting the Bravo 3 dual-prop, the Alpha drive, or the Verado outboard, as that drives both handling and value.
