Sea Ray Description

With its distinctive styling, the Sea Ray 330 Sundancer stands apart from the crowd. This 33-footer sleeps six, has a large, versatile cockpit and all the performance anyone ever needs in a family cruiser. With twin inboard MerCruiser V-drives the 330 Sundancer can be equipped for any adventure. The double helm seat gives captain and navigator a clear view of the water through the tempered glass windshield, which is center-vented to catch sea breezes and provide access to the foredeck. All instrumentation is within easy reach, including the standard VHF radio and Lowrance depth finder. A portside wet bar stands ready to accommodate any cockpit refreshment needs. The convenient fold-down step assists passengers in boarding. Lower the cockpit table, add the filler cushion, and create a sunpad for two. The aft seat is hinged so that the electrically actuated cockpit sole rises for instant access to the engines. Standard canvas package includes Sunbrella bimini top - sun shade with interlocking top extrusion, boot and vertical top storage, front bimini curtains, side curtains, and an aft cover to protect the cockpit. Belowdecks to starboard, a plush sofa provides plenty of room to relax as well as a comfortable dining area. Lower the table, add the plump filler cushion and the sofa turns into a double berth. The mid-stateroom functions as a conversation area during waking hours, then converts to a double berth during sleeping hours. A screened sliding window admits plenty of fresh air and light. The forward stateroom features a double berth, two large mirrored hanging lockers, a TV-VCR combination, and a privacy curtain that encloses the entire area. The head is located just inside the cabin door, providing easy access for passengers in the cockpit, as well as the cabin. The compartment includes a VacuFlush toilet, vanity with sink, and shower with curtain. In the galley, appointments include a large sink, refrigerator, flush-mounted two-burner electric stove, and microwave.
