2008 Sea Ray 480 Sundancer

The Sea Ray 480 Sundancer is one of the most well-balanced express cruisers in her class, offering a strong blend of performance, reliability, and a layout that truly works for both cruising and entertaining. This particular boat stands out as a highly desirable V drive shaft boat, eliminating the complexity of pod systems while delivering a more straightforward, lower maintenance ownership experience.

Powered by twin Cummins QSC 8.3 engines rated at 540 horsepower each, paired with V drives, she provides smooth, confident performance with efficient cruising in the mid 20 knot range and top speeds approaching 30 knots. With approximately 850 hours and a 1000 hour service completed proactively based on age by diligent owners, this is a turnkey boat ready for immediate use.

The layout is where this boat really shines. A true two stateroom, two head configuration with excellent separation and functionality makes it ideal for families or entertaining guests. The forward stateroom features a private head with a separate stall shower, while the aft cabin offers a fully enclosed stateroom with its own vanity and dedicated head, creating a comfortable and private space rarely found in this segment.

Up top, the cockpit is built for entertaining with a convertible layout and a rotating helm chair that integrates seamlessly into the social space. The full glass windshield provides a sleek, modern feel with excellent visibility, and the Raymarine electronics package with radar supports confident navigation.

This 480 Sundancer represents a strong opportunity to step into a well-maintained V drive boat with a proven platform, solid service history, and one of the best layouts in its class.
