1996 Sea Ray 500 Sundancer Timeless sleek lines, updated interior and systems make this 500 look and feel like a much newer boat. This boat has the desirable Caterpillar engine option with CAT displays on the dash. Displays and engine computers show engine hours in the low 700’s reflecting the light use this boat has had. This boat has been in a covered slip in fresh water on Lake Travis since 2008. Before that it spent long winters in climate controlled dry storage and short summers in the waters of New York so topsides and gelcoat still shine like new. The interior of this boat is what sets it apart from all the others. Six months of work and over $30,000.00 was spent refinishing the cabinets and floors of the entire interior with real brazilian cherrywood. This gives the inside of the boat a rich, expensive feel that the factory plastic imitation wood laminates can’t match. Canvas was updated to white Stamoid. There is also a white Stamoid snap on cockpit cover along with a dash cover. Electronics are top notch. There is a brand new 40” Samsung hi def TV on a custom wall and bracket in the salon, a massive cockpit sound system with custom panels, subs, fan cooled amps, and a new Kenwood head unit with bluetooth etc.  Navigation equipment is commercial grade Furuno with twin large color NavNet displays and and open array radar. Dash panels were just replaced this season so the dash looks like the dash of a new boat. There is also a compliment of three underwater lights. The house battery system was upsized to handle the sound system and electronics. The boat was fully serviced this spring, oil changes, new impellers, fuel filters, and all three A/C units were serviced. This is a large boat. Its actual length from pulpit to platform is 55’8” and it has a 15’ beam. The cockpit is perfect for entertaining large groups and the cabin is much bigger that you would imagine, looking at the sleek profile of the boat. The boat runs smooth and strong. The CATs start instantly with no smoke and the boat pulls strong on the top end once the big turbos spool up. The boat is also currently set up in a prime, improved slip right in front of the hot spot of the lake. Teak dock furniture, green egg grill, fridge and slip lighting can all convey to a new owner if desired. This generation of the SeaRay 500 really turned heads when it appeared on the scene. It still turns heads today, and it will turn heads ten years from now. Here is your chance to own one of the finest examples of the 500 on the market. Two previous surveys are available for review by a prospective buyer. This boat is a must see. You will not be disappointed and it is priced to sell.
