Owner Experience Review
Owners and reviewers tend to see the 400 SundancerfromSEA RAYas a versatile weekender that also excels at day boating and entertaining. The open cockpit, large side windows, and an opening roof (SkyFlow concept) create bright, interconnected social zones. Below, two full‑beam staterooms—a forward master and a guest cabin—support couples or family overnighting, with 1–2 heads commonly used for short cruises.
On the water, reports point to an economical cruise around 22–23 knots at moderate RPMs, with the ability to sprint to roughly 31 knots depending on engine and prop setup. The deep‑V hull with about 17° of deadrise delivers a solid, stable feel in moderate chop, though proper trim is important to avoid bow‑high porpoising. Finish quality feedback is mixed: many praise the layout and comfort, while others have called some years’ trims and upholstery “cheap,” including remarks that seats felt plastic. Maintenance notes include recurring small‑systems items—exhaust bellows, trim senders, and bellows/shift cable wear on I/O boats—as well as occasional electrical/freshwater glitches such as a freshwater pump that wouldn’t shut off on a 2017 example. Diesel examples in brokerage histories have shown major service work (seawater pump, heat exchanger, engine rebuilds, gearbox), and owners consistently stress that documented service history matters more than model year, with thorough pre‑purchase checks strongly recommended.
Pros and Cons
- Social cockpit and salon flow, with large windows and an opening roof, suit day boating and entertaining.
- Two full‑beam staterooms provide practical space for couples or family weekending.
- Stable ride in moderate chop and an economical cruise around 22–23 knots.
- Finish quality varies by year, with some owners citing trims and upholstery that feel cheap.
- Requires attentive trimming to avoid bow‑high porpoising at certain speeds.
- Ownership can involve recurring small‑systems fixes and, on diesel boats, verifying major service items and records.
