$199,000 1994 REFIT SEA RAY SUNDANCER 500 Express Cruiser YACHT TOUR Liveaboard REMODEL Walkthrough

Yachts for Sale: bit.ly/3f2TR2L
Join us on the Self-guided Tour;) of this Beautifully REFITTED 1994 Sea Ray Sundancer 500. I know a lot of you are very familiar with this model, but I'm sure you have not seen one like this yet! The owners own an Architectural Design Firm and it definitely shows... 199... what?! I definitely could not tell the age of this boat once I stepped on board, they did a pretty fantastic job... so we wanted to share this Lady with you all to hopefully give you some ideas and inspirations on what can be done with some imagination & some funds to revive an older Lady into a Hipster Chick! lol
Also, the layout of this Yacht is pretty great for a liveaboard for a couple or a single person - so maybe it gives you some ideas!
Let me know what you thought of this refit in the comments and if you would have done this refit what would you do differently? #BoatRefit

Love the 90’s Sea Rays. We had a 90 270 Sun Dancer that was so much fun on the lakes and San Juan islands. A mini version of this one but we trailered it which was its own adventure, especially through Seattle during rush hour.

[@ccchhh4690]

I have a 88 268 Sea Ray Sundancer also trailerable though barley. I love it! These Sea Rays are absolutely perfect boats!

[@cavieman136]

It just goes to show you do not need super Yacht to be comfortable or as a live aboard. Tastefully refitted and every bit of spare space used. Lovely entertainment space and cabins well fitted. If they ever chose to sell it they have an excellent well presented video to sell it for them. As usual beautiful presentation by a photogenic happy couple who know what they are talking about. Thanks for the video, always gives us ideas. Take care be safe

[@NautiStyles]

Thank you so much, so glad you found it interesting:-)

[@allaboutyachting]

Sea Ray has a very good build quality. So it's worth investing into a boat like this. Great upgrade and nice tour.

[@JB-sm4zt]

Wrong it is a assembly line mass production factory boat. I owned one. Made as cheaply as possible.

[@allaboutyachting]

@@JB-sm4zt I also owned one and some other brands. And I'm pretty deep into the yacht building industry. Believe me I know what I'm talking about. And another thing. If you want to produce quality, you need a certain mass to produce and to discover and correct failures and bad quality.

[@haykkarsyan1]

@@allaboutyachting do you happen to know if something like this can result in a profitable business?

[@allaboutyachting]

@@haykkarsyan1 In this range of boat owners are very cost and price sensitive. Doing a lot of things by themselves trying to save money. So I would assume no. In bigger boat ranges it's already a very profitable business.

The inside of this boat, looks even better than the insides of a lot of people's condos and apartments. This boat looks incredible.

The work on the helm was awesome and would make any captain happy to pilot this boat. Great tour by everyone's favorite couple and team. Thank you Victoria and Rico. Your perspectives are always welcomed as your life aboard your own yacht make you both so knowledgeable and your comparisons make it fun. Every tour with with America's favorite couple is fun!

[@user-pf5xq3lq8i]

Yes that flooring was brilliant, notice they used underseat lighting to highlight it even more.

Victoria is cute. This boat is a great find. I have a 2003 Sea Ray 500. Replaced the floors in the salon with one's that look like the floor on this boat. Also put in Corian counters throughout and G series Raymarine electronics. It makes the boat look at least 10 years younger. People are amazed when they see it. So much room. My wife loves it. This boat is so nicely done. The one thing I would like to know is how they installed the lights in the interior floor. Super nice!

My thoughts exactly

[@ronniewilliams2465]

If I won the lottery, I would park this in Newport, Oregon as my weekend live-aboard. I would so love this. Your two’s live-aboard is nice (great). My Saturday-Sunday watch Football, drink beer, eat Ribs and salad boat. And when the Pacific is kind of calm, grab a pole and fish, and eat fresh fish. And hunt Dungeness crabs. Love the guest cabin. I like boat living, and RV’s. The master Bed is great, too. Oh, damn, not for sale! I guess, flipping one of a lower price, is an option. Nice, Thanks for an inspirational video. The Catalina wine mixer worthy boat.
