First Look Inside Our New To Us Sea Ray 370 Sundancer

A look back at the first view of the interior of our new-to-us 1998 Sea Ray 370 Sundancer. Note that this video was originally produced in 2022, re-uploaded in Feb/24.
This was filmed at Son Rise Marine ( hotymarine.com... ) in Sandusky, Ohio, where we purchased the boat - site unseen - in February of 2022. I mention the location specifically, as our home (where we ultimately move the boat to) is in Ontario, Canada. That is why I mentioned the nine hour road trip to get here.
We purchased our lovely Sea Ray 370 Sundancer Sight Unseen! To see our entire journey, please check out my 'Buying A Boat - The Good, Bad & Ugly' playlist here: • Buying A Boat - Sea Ra...

Happy Boating :-)

[@karikarr6377]

Loved seeing this the first time around, and it’s still fun even when it’s a repeat - reminds me of setting eyes on our boat for the first time. So exciting!

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Thanks. I only wish I could have better captured how wonderful it felt to finally be in the boat - even if we were still a few weeks away from floating at this point.

[@user-Bruce_B]

I remember the original post. She looks sweet.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

We love it - especially me with my vertically challenged height 😉

[@Jakesalis]

Miss this boat!

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

We're still loving it, Jake! Good to hear from you and I hope you'll follow along with our continuing adventures - and all the updates I'm doing on the boat ;-)

[@shinystar1781]

that’s a decent sized kitchen. four burners too. we’re currently looking at a new boat so i notice these things

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Yes, a very comfortable galley for the boat's size, but the cooktop has only three burners, not four. That said, anything more than two is overkill, because running three or more would be tight.

[@gilrheaume6283]

I just want to say fine video from Mr Paul. I might not comment on every video that I watch but your voice is so familiar to me that I would recognize it anywhere just like David Attenborough form the nature videos. I had to stop in the middle to say that and now on with the show. Gil

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Wow, thank you.

[@Saphiracruising]

Wow, what a feeling. New boat! Awesome! Time to buy plastic flowers back home since tou will never be there no more 😂💯

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Plastic flowers? I don't get it...

[@Saphiracruising]

@@BoatingWithBoogaboo Ok Sorry for the bad joke. I just ment now that when the new boat arrived (ok i realize it was a while ago) you will just want to be by the boat, fixing, making it ready, so no time being at home in house/apartment, so no point having normal flowers since they will die, if never there giving them water, hence better with "plastic flowers' that never die.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

@magnussjostedt6208 Ahh yes, now I understand 👌 As for being on the boat, I'd love to spend the whole season aboard, but right now we are in winter, So no go for a few more weeks. Hopefully you can check out all the projects I've done on this boat so far. Link in the description. Still a few things I will be doing, but we need Spring weather to arrive first 😉

[@Saphiracruising]

@@BoatingWithBoogaboo Yes, same here. Snow and chilly so all boats are in winter storage. Thx for your advice ill keep watching your movies and links. i just dont know what is best set up if boat not having shift. Ill keep researching. 👍😊

[@NinoPrez007]

Love your Sea Ray!... I think this category size will be my next purchase from a 21' Doral. Hope to 'sea' you and anchor girl on our Ontario waterways. Happy🛥 from Barrie,Ontario!

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Have fun with your boat search!

[@NinoPrez007]

@@BoatingWithBoogaboo Thank you!

[@mrvoyagerm]

No issues with the hull, transom or stringers I assume. The survey would spot them I'm sure. I'm guessing this is still using stern drives? We looked at an older model 370 at Jack Padey's and it was palatious and even the older model was fabulous inside. Great boat, nice and wide. Thanks for posting.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Check out the full playlist in the description to see results of survey and more. There's also all the specs for the boat in every video description 👍

[@clevjam]

Hey Paul, Spring will be here before you know it..Have you two done any speculating on the 2024 Summer schedule? Here in Tennessee we have been teased the last few weeks with mid sixties weather which as of today has dropped 30 degrees!..Cheers ! 🍺😎

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Sounds similar weather like we've been having. Not quite as warm as you, but way warmer than it should be. But winter returned with cold temps and a few snow squalls blowing through today. No real plans for the upcoming season, other than getting out a lot more than we did in 2023. Gonna have more freedom in our schedule this year, so basically looking forward to that. Wherever we get to and as many times as we can is going to be wonderful 😀

[@DarcyCole]

Off topic question here , how well does that woods canvas protection work ? I’ve been using 303

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

I've used the Woods canvas protection for many years, all the way back to our 300 Sundancer and it works great! A heck of a lot less expensive than the overpriced 303 - and basically the same stuff - silicone. The trick is to put it on heavy, actually saturating the canvas. It's gotta drip right through to be effective 👍

[@DarcyCole]

@@BoatingWithBoogaboo ok thanks , I usually spray outside and inside on the top 2 pieces

[@matthewcassidy1486]

First

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Who's on First. What's on Second, I Don't Know's on Third 😂🤣

[@user-ph8sh9kt9v]

I think you sold me on that pocket gimbal. ​@@BoatingWithBoogaboo
