1999 Sea Ray 500 Sundancer (500DA) – Extensive Recent Upgrades – Turn-Key Cruiser

This vessel stands out from the market thanks to major recent investment in both cosmetics and critical mechanical systems, including new canvas and isinglass, new exterior upholstery, new interior flooring, upgraded Northern Lights 8kw generator, and significant engine cooling system service (aftercoolers and heat exchangers). Her recent exterior/ interior enhancements, make her an excellent option for buyers looking for a well-kept, ready-to-cruise, ready-to-play boat for summer.
