Hi
Thanks for taking time to read and assist me.
I am just about to buy a 375 Sundancer 2005 model with Shaft Petrol.
Does anyone have any comment on this vessel, especially known issues to look out for?
I will be getting a professional surveyor though first hand info is often the best.

Appreciate all comments :)
 
Your boat is the international version of our 340 Sundancer. Things to look out for:
-Whether the Cool Fuel Gen 3 modules have been addressed already.
-Moisture intrusion on the forward deck, especially with the Sun pad option (has stainless rails on the deck). Sea Ray's factory folks didn't use too much sealant.
-If you have the Soft-top option, watch for cracks on the spoiler.
Kudos, you are being smart about the surveyor. Be with them the entire time; Best time to learn.

Thanks so much for your time and info provided. Extremely valuable and appreciated
 
You bet!
My boat passed all those standard 340 concern items.
The issues we caught on the survey were due to low hours; 320 hrs on a 2007 is lower than I would have liked: Compressor on the AC unit doesn't deliver heat (was negotiated after the survey), the generator was in need of a tune up (I had a mechanical inspector as well as the surveyor so it was gone through pretty well), and the grounding/bonding wires needed some care.
Let us know how your survey comes out.
 
Thanks for help. Bought the boat
Only had a few thousand of repairs for its age and rated well with surveyor
Appreciate responses again
