Owner Experience Review
Across forum threads and listings, the 300 SundancerbySEA RAYis consistently described as a private weekender rather than a full‑time liveaboard. Owners mainly use it for weekend family cruising and short coastal overnights with 2–4 people aboard, and several report cruising with four aboard at about 26 knots.
Ride quality is a recurring positive. The deep‑V hull (reported around 21° deadrise) gives predictable handling and a solid feel in chop, with multiple owners calling it dry in roughly 3–5 ft seas. Power choice matters: smaller V8 packages are often described as underpowered when the boat is loaded or fitted with genset/A/C. Drive configuration also shapes the experience—stern drives tend to be quicker and more economical but fussier at slow speeds, while V‑drives/shafts feel more sedate and forgiving.
Space planning below is frequently praised for this size class, with a roomy mid‑berth and cabin on a ~30‑foot footprint, convertible berths for about 4–6, a basic galley, and, in many examples, a cockpit fridge. The cockpit layout draws some criticism, especially the lack of port‑side seating. Maintenance narratives are mixed: owners mention SmartCraft/gauge glitches and other electrical quirks, A/C repairs or replacements, occasional exhaust‑gasket issues and heavier fuel burn when heavily loaded, plus loose hardware, hinge/cabinet failures, and leaks if fittings aren’t resealed. For older examples, forum advice often flags balsa‑cored deck and stringer moisture risks—pre‑purchase moisture checks are recommended. Experiences vary because multiple 300/300 DA/Weekender sub‑models were built from the late 1980s into the mid‑2000s.
Pros and Cons
- Deep‑V hull delivers a comfortable, dry ride and predictable handling in moderate seas.
- Cabin and mid‑berth feel roomy for a ~30' cruiser with practical weekender accommodations for 2–4.
- Real‑world pace is respectable, with owners reporting cruises at around 26 knots with four aboard.
- Smaller V8 options can feel underpowered when the boat is loaded or fitted with genset/A/C.
- Recurring electrical/SmartCraft glitches and A/C repairs have been reported by multiple owners.
- Older boats may show core moisture, soft spots, or leaks if fittings aren’t resealed, so thorough moisture checks are advised.
