The new Sea Ray 43 Sundancer, badged 475 Sundancer for the european market is the first model from renowned USA builder to come standard with the revolutionary Zeus propulsion system and intuitive helm joystick, which means that docking is as easy as it can be. All the driver has to do is move the joystick in the direction he or she wants to go, or twist it to turn the boat in its own length. Nothing could be easier. The 43 Sundancer comes standard with twin Cummins MerCruiser QSB 425 hp diesels mated to Zeus pods drives, offering 15 percent better fuel economy and 15 percent faster top speeds than regular inboards. Plus, the Zeus-equipped 43 Sundancer provides a more comfortable ride because gear noise and vibration are significantly reduced. Optional power includes twin Cummins MerCruiser QSB 480 hp diesels also with Zeus Pod drives. Above the waterline, the new 43 Sundancer is a stylish cruiser starting with the trademark reverse sheer line, two oversize hull windows and 10 portlights. A hardtop integrates seamlessly with the windshield for the ultimate in weather protection, yet you can still let the sun shine in thanks to two retractable skylights. The cockpit features a double captain bolster seat with armrests, which can be ajusted as one wishes thanks to its sliding adjustment, to portside there is a guests lounger big L-shaped bench, further aft a U-shaped lounge flanking a convenient fiberglass table, a wet bar opposite features a solid-surface countertop, sink and icemaker or opting up to the removable flatscreen TV, stainless-steel barbecue grill and refrigerator. Below deck, the 43 Sundancer features a functional double split stateroom plan. The forward master cabin features an island-style berth, with its own flatscreen TV with remote DVD player and innovative individual head and shower compartments, port and starboard, both with tile flooring. The mid-stateroom has two twin beds that converts to a queen also with its own private head and shower compartment. In between the two staterooms, the salon and galley have all the modern indulgences of a refined seaside condominium. The galley is designed to make life as easy as possible for the onboard chef, with a plenty designated storage. Full stainless-steel appliances add more than a touch of luxury.
