Sea Ray 270 Sundeck Boats For Sale

The Sea Ray 270 Sundeck is a large bow rider built around open space and carrying a full load of guests, with the beam pushed far forward to a more squared-off bow. That width measures 6 feet 2 inches at the stern and still holds 4 feet 9 inches up at the bow, which is what gives the lounge area its room. The forward seats run 4 feet 6 inches long with flip-down inboard armrests and a relaxed recline, and a filler cushion converts the entire bow into a sun pad. Overall length is 27 feet 2 inches on the current hull, with an 8-foot-2 beam and a 21-degree deadrise deep-V bottom carrying keel lifting strakes and reverse chines.

Buyers shopping a Sea Ray 270 Sundeck for sale will find two power paths. The outboard version is fitted with a single 300-horsepower Mercury Verado and is the only Sundeck offered with Verado power, mounted so the swim platform stays usable. That outboard 270 Sundeck reached a top speed of 47.5 mph at 6,000 RPM while burning 29.8 gph, with best economy at 3,500 RPM and 27 mph, where fuel burn dropped to 9.4 gph for a range near 168 miles over 6.2 hours. It planes in 4.5 seconds with a bow rise that doesn't block sight lines and leans about 18 degrees into a turn. Earlier sterndrive examples, such as a 2006 270 Sundeck, run the 8.1-liter 496 MerCruiser with a Bravo Three counter-rotating drive, digital throttle and shift, trim tabs, and Captain's Call exhaust.

The helm carries a vinyl-stitched brow, a leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel, and lighted toggle switches, with a real horn rather than an electronic buzzer. SmartCraft gauges report fuel use, trim angle, engine temperature, oil pressure and voltage, and many boats add a Simrad GPS display. The captain and observer get seat-and-a-half-width helm seats with wide flip-up bolsters; the captain's slides fore and aft and sits above a molded footrest. Dual batteries with a selector switch sit under the aft bench, and a blower ventilates the engine compartment.

The cockpit uses L-shaped seating with opposing seats and convertible backrests, plus a sink and pedestal tables for the cockpit and bow. The aft bench seats up to four people in half-facing comfort, with bottom cushions that lift for knee support. The swim platform extends 2 feet 8 inches from the transom and can be covered in SeaDek-style non-skid matting, with a starboard reboarding ladder, an optional flip-out center step, and freshwater showers at both the bow and transom. A full-cockpit bimini and an optional collapsible water-sports tower with integrated bimini and an elevated toe point at 7 feet 2 inches handle shade and tow duties.

Interior storage is extensive: insulated, self-draining bow lockers, ski lockers measuring 36 inches long that are lockable, dedicated stowage for two pedestal tables, and an insulated compartment with an integrated electric chill box, with an optional wet bar and cockpit refrigerator. The port-console head holds a portapotti, sink and freshwater faucet plumbed to a 20-gallon tank under 4 feet 2 inches of headroom. Fit and finish run upscale, with diamond-stitch seat backs, contrast stitching and weather-resistant ultra vinyl. When evaluating a 270 Sundeck for sale by owner, note the turn-and-lock hatch latches and confirm the engine choice that matches your use.
