1999 Sea Ray 290 Sundancer - Generator - Twin 5.7 EFI - 450 Hours

This 1999 Sea Ray 290 Sundancer is a clean and well-equipped example of one of Sea Ray’s most successful express cruisers. Known for its comfortable accommodations, large entertaining cockpit, and dependable performance, the 290 Sundancer remains a favorite among boaters looking for a versatile cruiser in the 29-foot range.

Located in Stockton on the California Delta, this boat offers easy access to miles of protected cruising waterways as well as convenient runs toward San Francisco Bay.

Powered by twin MerCruiser 5.7L EFI engines (approximately 450 hours) with Bravo stern drives, the boat delivers reliable performance with excellent maneuverability around the dock.

A major advantage of this particular boat is the inclusion of a Kohler 4 kW generator and air conditioning/heat, features that are not always found on boats of this size and which greatly expand cruising comfort.
