Sea Ray 38 Sundancer (2008-09)

As a test captain, I keep my ear to the ground for when something newsworthy comes down the road. Well here’s something I found while skulking around the Sea Ray docks. Sea Ray’s popular 38 Sundancer has always been a premier family cruising and entertaining platform, but time was, it only came with V-drives. Customers talked, and Sea Ray listened… and now, the 38 “Dancer” is offered with Axius joystick controls linked to twin 375-hp Merc 496 Magnums as standard. The options list offers engine upgrades up to twin Merc 425-hp with Axius, and twin 364-hp Cummins diesels driving Zeus pods. And of course, for the traditional captains, such as myself, straight shafts hanging off V-drives are still available with two gasoline powered options (regular and H.O.), and one option for twin Yanmar Diesels.
