Description

Be sure to watch the video tour linked within this listing! The Sea Ray 48 Sundancer is a highly desired model because it has a blend of roomy interior and exterior accommodations that makes for comfortable extended cruising for a couple or family while also offering plenty of room for your friends on day trips. Many experienced boaters prefer this generation of Sundancer to later models because of its Cummins diesels with shaft drives (not pods) adding to long-term reliability and lower maintenance costs. This one includes a 2018 Achilles dinghy with 2024 outboard on the submersible swim platform for easy launching/retrieval. This example also includes a water-maker, rarely seen on Sundancers, to allow for extended cruising away from the dock with more than enough fresh water for everyday use including doing laundry in the washer/dryer. Besides its terrific overall condition, one of the best stories of Happy Ours is the well-organized log book documenting the extensive upgrades, routine maintenance, and repairs made by the experienced owner since 2016. The prior owner also made some very nice upgrades including Nuteak decking in cockpit, swim platform, and interior head & shower spaces. The hull also shines due to Awlgrip paint in 2019. This boat has always been a seasonal Northeast boat, never taken South for the winter. Read on to see the extensive list of upgrades/maintenance.
