Overview
About this vessel
Owner no longer gets to use the boat, so this Sea Ray 260 is looking for a new home. The current pontoon berth at HHYC is transferable to a member, subject to the approval of the club.
Throughout the Sea Ray 260 Sundancer are indications of good engineering and design. From the extended swim platform to the bow with its well-secured sunpad, all deck space is maximised to pack in as much entertaining and lounging as possible.
Access is from either the rear platform through a portside gate, or over the sides topped with non-skid and integrated inboard steps. Both options have grabrails and in the cockpit the aisles are wide and grab handles and drink holders abound.
The 300hp 5.7lt V8 MerCruiser 350 MPI has plenty of deep-throated rumble and had the efficiently-shaped hull planing at an impressive 10kts – no doubt helped by the superior drive of the big counter-rotating props. It felt rock steady cruising at 24kts and around 3750rpm cutting across the chop and wake of other boats. The Sea Ray’s 3500kg weight helps it belt through waves, and any larger wake is taken in its stride without undue banging or any of the fittings rattling loose.
