Am looking at 05-07 340 Sundancers. Any owners out there with real world performance and comfortable cruise fuel burn figures. Also what do you think of the boat after ownership?
Thanks

I have an 06, and in the season we've owned it I have zero complaints. I doubt I ever will. It is a really well thought out boat that utilizes every space. It feels more open than boats bigger in size and will run circles around them performance wise. At 3350 I burn 29-31 gph at 26-28mph. expect .89-1mpg dependent on conditions. I wont lie she's thirsty, and you really have to cruise smart if you want to achieve 1mpg.
The 8.1's are bullet proof and sometimes I wonder if they didn't design to boat around those power plants. She really runs like a dream Don't even consider the 6.2l.
She handles well around the dock but sometimes her bow needs a little persuasion (think throttle) in windy situations.
Engine room access is a little tight but manageable. The impellers are a nightmare to get too but that is a Mercruiser issue not Sea Ray.
I've come to find out that the 8.1 loves to eat sparkplugs so make that an annual maintenance item.
ANy other questions fire away.
