2008 Sea Ray Sundancer 40 ROLL OFFS

The owner of this boat shopped carefully before purchasing this Sea Ray. This Sundancer in particular came from Maryland in 2021 and upon our initial visit, we all took notice of how well this boat has aged. Since closing, ROLL OFFS has made two trips to local Fort Lauderdale boatyards for haul out and maintenance. Most recently in August 2026 where the engines and generators had a through service. Service included a coolant flush and the heat exchangers were serviced.

The owner is local and they enjoy the use of their boat most weekends. Day trips only...the stateroom is not used for overnight trips and the entire interior shows quite well. Speaking with the seller, he feels this boat is dialed in and ready for your survey crew and your sea trial.

All the exterior canvas has been replaced and a new bow cushion with cover was installed on the foredeck. New SeaDek deck system was installed and looks sharp.  The main engines have nearly 1600 hours and there is only 1689 hours on the generator.
