1997 Sea Ray 450 Sundancer

This 1997 Sea Ray 450 Sundancer is a 45-foot fiberglass cruiser powered by twin Caterpillar 3126TA diesel engines rated at 420 horsepower each, paired with Twin Disc V-drive transmissions. The boat carries low engine hours at 845 and features a Kohler generator with a Yanmar SF18 auxiliary engine logged at just 628.5 hours. The navy-blue hull presents well and the interior layout offers generous space with a bright salon and wide cockpit seating suitable for extended cruising with family and friends.

The mechanical package emphasizes reliability and ease of operation. Dual Racor fuel and water separators serve the main engines and generator, supported by an AlgaeX magnetic fuel conditioner and Walker Airsep engine air filtration. Twin SIDEPOWER bow and stern thrusters with handheld remote simplify docking maneuvers. Bennett hydraulic trim tabs and a Glendinning engine synchronizer aid handling, while a SeaFire G800A automatic Halon fire suppression system provides safety backup.

Comfort systems include a Marine Air Systems 16,000 BTU reverse-cycle air conditioning and heating unit with ducting to both the cabin and cockpit. The electronics suite comprises Raytheon navigation equipment—an RC831 chartplotter, RL802 radar with Ray202 VHF radio and hailer, and a Raypilot 650 autopilot—complemented by a Garmin GPSmap 740s and Raymarine ST60 Tridata instrument. Electrical infrastructure includes dual 8D batteries for main power, three additional 12V batteries dedicated to genset and thruster systems, and both Charles 60-amp and ProNautic chargers.

The boat also features a hydraulic dinghy lift swim platform and comes equipped with spare bronze four-blade propellers for both port and starboard. A Zodiac Projet 350 is available for separate purchase.
