On Friday I Surveyed another Sea Ray Sports Cruiser. This one the Sundancer 1997 model at Norfolk Boat Sales in Wroxham for Pre-Purchase.
Like all Sundancers, the look of the Sea Ray 330 is based on a design theme established for the company’s express cruisers in the early ’90s. The lines are flowing and smooth, avoiding the overly round or bulbous look of some express cruisers of the era. Sea Ray had a hit and stuck to it faithfully.
The buyers of this boat said one of the features that drew them to the 330 was the layout of the cockpit and it’s easy to see why when stepping aboard. Not only are the fore and aft facing seats great for entertaining, but the aft facing seat also has storage in the back and base. The battery switches are tucked away in here as well, making them more accessible than in the engine compartment.
Surveyors comments: If you search online for an ‘express cruiser” it’s more than likely a picture or a boat-for-sale listing of a Sea Ray Sundancer is going to pop up due to their popularity, longevity and high build numbers.

| Just back from our test run across Wroxham Broad.This feels like a sport boat. It turns very well at speed, heeling over noticeably but hanging on through a tight turn. |

| This boat came from the States without its original Mercruiser petrol engines and the owner had these two 200HP Nanni diesels fitted giving up to 30 Knots in power. |
