Sea Ray 50' 500 Sundancer

1999 Sea Ray 500 Sundancer

This 1999 Sea Ray 500 Sundancer is an exceptionally well-cared-for example with a strong ownership history and 100% freshwater use under the current owner. The current owner has enjoyed the boat for the past 10 years and has maintained and upgraded her with a focus on comfort, functionality, and long-term ownership.

Powered by twin Caterpillar 3196 diesel engines rated at 660 HP each and paired with V-drive propulsion, the 500 Sundancer offers the substantial construction, spacious accommodations, and cruising capability that made this model one of Sea Ray's most recognizable large express cruisers. The engine compartment provides excellent access around the machinery, and the vessel is equipped with hydraulic steering and dripless shaft seals.

Throughout the current owner's ownership, significant upgrades have been completed including a hydraulic swim platform, custom exterior SeaDek flooring, custom interior carpeting, updated refrigeration and icemakers, upgraded JBL audio, underwater lighting, batteries, and more.
