This summer, Scott and I participated with the debut of the brand new 2022 Sea Ray Sundancer 370 OB in the Pacific Northwest. I work for Union Marine and this event was hosted at our Lake Union showroom.
We have toured a number of Sea Ray models, including an L590, 55, 550 and a 350. What makes this brand new Sundancer unique, is it comes with three Mercury 300hp outboard motors. There are a lot of advantages to having outboards, including maintenance, fuel cost, more storage, and access to shallow waters to name a few. It’s certainly much easier to change the oil on these outboards, than it is climbing down into a tight engine room.
Cruising through the Montlake Cut to Lake Washington
The weather was warm and sunny, so that meant there were boaters everywhere and the Montlake cut was like a whirlpool when we went through it.
Once we got out onto Lake Washington, we had a chase boat following us to take some footage of the boat. This photographer did a fantastic job on this photo shoot!
Offering the latest in intelligent command, the helm is equipped with a Digital Dash™ featuring standard dual 12″ Simrad® GO12 touchscreen displays.
At the end of the day, our crew took another cruise to unwind and enjoy the evening. It was so nice spending the day back on the water.
The Sundancer 370 Outboard is propelled by standard triple Mercury® 300 Verado® outboard engines with Joystick Piloting and optional Dynamic Running Surface. As we cruised Lake Washington, our top speed 41kph. Our crew circled around Mercer Island and then passed by Andrews Bay. I couldn’t believe how crowed it was!
Great entertaining space on deck
We had nine people on our cruise and still had plenty of room to move around. The bow offers comfy seats for a prime view and to access the bow, you simply walk thru on the port side (verses climbing over the dashboard!)
At the stern, you will find two tables with seating. The cockpit is equipped with a grill, sink, fridge, trash compartment and a flat screen tv. This Sea Ray Sundancer 370 also comes with heat and air conditioning and we were loving the a/c on this hot day!
Salon of the 2022 Sea Ray Sundancer 370 OB
The interior on this Sea Ray Sundancer 370 OB is very nicely appointed . I loved the amount of head room; in fact, Scott who is 6’1″ still had plenty of room standing in the galley. The main sleeping berth, is a hydraulic bed that converts into a seating area. There is no table down below, which allows for plenty of seating.
The head has a separate shower, which we love.
There is an aft berth, can be converted from a bed to another sitting area. Both sleeping quarters have a flat screen tv. In fact, in the aft berth, it pops up, keeping the counter clean.
Scott and I had such a great day cruising on Lake Washington with my team. It was so nice to be out on the water and other boaters were definitely noticing the “stealth” looking boat! Since our boats have always been moored on salt water, we have not spent much time on Lake Washington or Lake Union, so it was fun to see all of the activity.
Watch our YouTube episode below and we’ll also take you on a full tour in a few weeks.
