2007 Sea Ray 290 Sundancer *Trailer Included* — Volvo D6-310 Diesel (RARE Configuration)
An exceptional opportunity to own one of the rarest Sea Ray 290 Sundancers ever built. This 2007 model is one of only four worldwide equipped with the powerful and efficient Volvo Penta D6-310 diesel engine, and the only one known in the United States. Custom-ordered new by its original (and only) owner, this Sundancer has been meticulously cared for and thoughtfully upgraded throughout its life.
Power & Performance
Powered by a single Volvo D6-310 diesel engine with only 962 hours, this Sundancer delivers impressive torque, reliability, and remarkable fuel efficiency. At a comfortable cruise of 24–26 MPH, she burns just 12 gallons per hour, while a relaxed displacement cruise consumes approximately 1.5 GPH—exceptional range and economy from her 125-gallon fuel tank.
The D6 series is renowned for its robust design, electronic fuel injection, and smooth operation, offering the perfect blend of power and efficiency for extended cruising or weekend adventures.
Rare Diesel Configuration
This configuration makes this vessel truly special—combining Sea Ray’s timeless craftsmanship with Volvo’s industry-leading diesel technology. Diesel Sundancers of this size are nearly impossible to find, especially in the U.S., offering lower operating costs, greater longevity, and increased resale desirability.
Meticulous Ownership & Condition
Lovingly maintained by the original owner since new, this Sundancer was ordered to factory specifications and has always been stored on its custom trailer in a covered driveway during the off-season. The boat spends only the summer months in the water, ensuring minimal exposure and excellent overall condition inside and out.
Electronics & Navigation
Outfitted with an upgraded electronics suite for confident cruising:
Simrad Radar
Overcharts, Depth Finder, AIS, and Chartplotter
Simrad Autopilot
Navman Tracker System
This setup offers comprehensive situational awareness, precision navigation, and reliability whether you’re navigating coastal waters or inland lakes.
Canvas & Exterior
In June 2025, all canvas and Eisenglass were professionally replaced—presenting like new. The cockpit upholstery, gelcoat, and hardware reflect years of careful maintenance and pride of ownership.
Included Trailer
A custom-built trailer designed specifically for this vessel is included, allowing convenient seasonal storage, transportation, and maintenance flexibility. The trailer-based lifestyle has helped keep this Sundancer in outstanding condition year after year.
Layout & Comfort
Sea Ray’s 290 Sundancer design remains one of the most popular express cruiser layouts in its class. Highlights include:
Spacious cockpit seating with convertible lounge and wet bar
Comfortable forward V-berth and mid-cabin sleeping accommodations
Fully equipped galley with stove, sink, microwave, and refrigerator
Enclosed head with a shower
High-quality fit and finish throughout, true to Sea Ray’s reputation for craftsmanship
Summary
This is not just another Sundancer—it’s a collector-grade, one-of-a-kind diesel model with pedigree, performance, and provenance. Between its rare factory diesel configuration, single-ownership history, low hours, new canvas, and custom trailer, this 290 Sundancer represents an unbeatable opportunity for the discerning buyer who values efficiency, reliability, and distinction.
