1989 Sea Ray SunDancer 300 (completely repowered!) For sale at $20,000 A great vessel, indeed. Extremely reliable. We are the second owners. The first owner had the boat until 2018. We have just had the boat professionally polished and detailed ($1000.00). Don’t let the age fool you; as you...

new engine going in this week. waiting for it to be delivered. i will certainly keep you posted.
