Sea Ray 410 Sundancer
Flexibility is the mantra with Sea Rays newest in their Sport Yacht series, the 2012 Sea Ray 410 Sundancer. “The 410 is really a transition size from our Sport Cruiser line to the Sport Yachts, so we emphasize flexibility in this premium brand,” says Rob Noyes, Sea Rays director of marketing. Various options the 410 Sundancer provides include exterior design features, engine selection and interior layout, so you can create a boat to suit your specific needs.
The most noticeable malleable feature is the cabin top, which comes in three flavors: The standard sport arch and canvas, optional open hardtop with canvas, or optional enclosed hardtop with electric front vents and available sunroof. Whether youre up for lots of sun and breeze or want the protection and comfort of an air – conditioned or heated helm area, you have a choice. The second major consideration is propulsion. The 410 Sundancer is available in diesel only and comes with standard twin 425 – hp Cummins MerCruiser Diesel QSB 8.3 425 V – drives. You also can opt for twin diesel engines with Zeus pod drives and a helm joystick. The Zeus option adds a bit more to the base price, but its a feature that builds confidence even in new boaters who are looking for control and easy maneuvering in tight quarters.
Below, the Sea Ray 410 provides another place to customize your new vessel. The bright interior comes standard with one stateroom and two heads. The master forward includes a full – size island berth with Visco foam mattress and an electrically activated backrest that allows for comfortable viewing of the 22 – inch flat screen TV. A head compartment with separate shower stall has a VacuFlush toilet and its own entrance from this cabin.
The galley amidships offers a stainless steel refrigerator/ freezer, two – burner stove and a microwave. Its location fits nicely into the salon that also has a large sofa and table. Just aft is a standard dinette with a fold – down table, but this area also can be made into a second cabin with a pocket door and two single berths.
So many variables in a production boat are rare and highlight Sea Rays attention to owner feedback. There are many features that come standard, including an Onan 9 kW genset, anchor washdown, nearly 150 square feet of storage throughout and more. But in case youre not done personalizing your Sundancer 410, consider other options such as air conditioning, six interior finishes, additional TVs and DVD players, rod holders and a sun pad with an adjustable backrest on the forward deck.
The 410 Sundancer joins Sea Rays other 40 models ranging from 17 to 60 feet that are manufactured in the companys Knoxville, Tennessee, headquarters.
“The 410 replaces the 390 Sundancer,” adds Noyes. “We sell boats into many markets and need to think about all the different ways owners will use them.”
