Hi everyone,
I’m considering a brand new 320 SeaRay Sundancer and have a couple of questions. I have about 20 years of boating experience with CC’s and outboards. This will be my first cruiser.
I’m in the process of selecting options and I’m having a hard time deciding on the cockpit cut out. I like the idea of having the sun roof but I’m concern that during rainy days water would come in to the cockpit. SeaRay offers the cockpit cut out in many of their models. It is basically a sunbrella fabric the closes and opens manually. Any thoughts experience good/bad with this feature?
Also, this would be my first boat with a stern drive. I’ve been reading about stern drives and there is a lot of negative press about them. The boat will have the Mercruiser 350hp 6.2L w the bravo 3 drive. Most if my boating will be in fresh water but at some point the boat will be used in salt water. Im including the sea core option. Any thoughts on Stern drives? OB’s are an option on this model but I like the swim platform you get with the stern drive. Any thoughts?
I appreciate any feedback you can provide.
Thank you in advance.
Capt. Chris.
