There’s a large flat screen television over the mid-cabin entrance – easy to watch from the island bed, not so from the starboard sofa unless you’re lying down. The large head is bright with plenty of headroom. But it was the joystick that caught my eldest daughters’ eye.
SEA RAY RUNABOUT FULL
There’s the requisite set of full gauges for both engines, a VHF radio, and a Raymarine C120 radar chartplotter well placed in front of the navigators seat beside the captain. The helm is a modern marvel of electronics, well laid out and centered around the beautiful 3-spoke cherry and leather wheel that is your first hint of any sportscar-like underpinnings. I’d order the modified canvas enclosure so that guests can sit on the stern bench seat full upright, as the camper back canvas slopes too sharply to make that seat unuseable in a rainstorm or a buggy night. Overhead, the radar arch is s semi-hardtop. A single forward facing companion seat also swivels to easily bring the cockpit seating up to eight with everyone facing each other. To port, the almost full stern-wide bench seat (with massive storage underneath) wraps up the port side and a filler cushion quickly turns this into a massive sunpad (or an extra bed, it’s really that large!). This is a great idea that makes the helm seat truly useable for entertaining without someone having to twist their back around to be included in the conversation. The helm seat is double side and rotates on a swivel base to face into the cockpit for conversation.
SEA RAY RUNABOUT TV
Ahead of this step, is the Kenyon electric grill with a sink and recycling bin for your pop cans, a fridge, and a flat screen TV mounted on the radar arch. (The regular platform brings the LOA to 37’ 6”, the extended platform brings it to 39’2” and the optional hydraulic one measures in at a whopping 40’6”.) The platform features two stereo speakers, a flip out rumble seat, and a transom shower with stainless fittings.Įntry to the cockpit is through the starboard side, and directly forward there’s a small step to help you reach the wide sidewalks up to the bow. She’s impressive in size from the dock with a beam of twelve feet, which seems bigger due to the massive extended swim platform that our test boat had. Let’s start with a tour of the 370 Sundancer.
SEA RAY RUNABOUT PLUS
Usually by the time you increase the beam, and then increase the length, and then add in all the comforts of home – plus some really cool extras – and then fill the tanks with gas and water, you’ve created such a heavy load that it is virtually impossible to get sprightly spirited performance. Now understand that is a huge compliment. You know the old Looney Tunes cartoon where the coyote sneaks inside the fence dressed in sheepdog clothes, stands up and unzips his costume and goes to work? That’s the analogy I got when I drove this flagship of the Sea Ray Sport Cruiser lineup: underneath she’s a runabout dressed in Sport Yacht clothing.
