1999 Sea Ray 260 Sundancer
lying : Goolwa SA
Very nice clean and original edition of these popular GRP production boats.
Arguably Sea Ray are the finest and best of the USA built cruisers.
Class leading in ergonomics, hull design and engine performance, as well as finish quality!
"The 260 Sundancer is a true 26-footer, and with the additional standard swim platform its overall length is 28ft. Sea Ray has made excellent use of the space available and packed the 260 with features normally only seen on a larger boat"
Boat Sales review 1999
"The test boat was fitted with an optional 5.7lt EFI Bravo III MerCruiser sterndrive which is rated at 260hp. The big V-eight made the 260 get up and boogie, and although it's nice having extra horsepower, the standard 5.0lt 220hp Bravo II is more than sufficient for most applications.
The test boat was literally straight out of the box, arriving in Australia only a few days before our test. Though the engine was still tight we managed to pull a GPS-confirmed 38kt at full trim.
Even with a bellyful of fuel and water, the MerCruiser effortlessly pulled the 260 out of the hole. An outstanding feature was its manoeuvrability at low speed. Not normally a fan of single sterndrives, I was pleasantly surprised with the boat's responsiveness.
The smart layout and highest quality fittings on the 260 Sundancer are typical of Sea Ray's finish.
The innovative design of the interior becomes apparent as you board the vessel. The easiest way onboard is via the large swim platform which also has a concealed stainless steel swim ladder.
Stainless steel grabrails are located on the transom which assist swimmers exiting the water via the swim platform. Built in to the transom directly above the swim platform is a storage compartment for fenders and ropes, etc.
Stepping through the transom door from the swim platform you are greeted with a cockpit with a spacious and stylish layout. On the starboard side behind the helm station is an entertainment module with wetbar, shower, beverage holders and removable cooler.
On the port side against the transom bulkhead is a foldaway aft seat with backrest. There is also an aft-facing seat which has a fold-down sunpad that meets with the aft seat to make a very comfortable double lounge... Just the thing for working on that tan.
The cockpit floor incorporates a gas-assisted engine hatch which provides access to the fully-insulated engine compartment. Even with the big V-eight below, at idle you can hardly hear it running.
Forward of the wetbar on the starboard side is a fully-appointed helm station with a swivel-bucket helm seat featuring a forward and aft sliding mechanism. The dash is well-appointed with a full compliment of instrumentation, power-assisted tilt steering wheel, waterproof electronic switch pad, power trim and tilt, hydraulic trim tabs, tacho, compass, VHF radio and more.
