55 Sundancer®

Knoxville, Tenn. – January 23, 2007 – When it comes to handling finesse and stunning good looks, it doesn't get much sweeter than Sea Ray's all-new 55 Sundancer. Edgy and elegant. Sleek and sturdy. The 55's sumptuous interior belies its gritty power and agility.

This mighty, but sophisticated addition to Sea Ray's already impressive yacht fleet was first unveiled to select dealers and special Sea Ray owners at the December Sea Ray Yacht Expo in Merritt Island, Fla. It will officially celebrate its world premiere at a press conference on Feb. 14 – Valentine's Day – during the 2007 Miami International Boat Show. “What's not to be loved? It's part prom queen, part big-time bruiser," said Rob Noyes, vice president of marketing for Sea Ray. "The all-new 55 Sundancer delivers the styling that our customers have come to expect, but you can't dismiss her sturdiness. She's rugged."

Arguably, the most attractive yacht for high-performance addicts, the 2007 55 Sundancer features a full-beam master stateroom, customizable cockpit entertainment carousel seating, and a stunning array of high-tech instrumentation and electronics.

Adopting a fundamentally different design approach, the 55 Sundancer is all about form, function and harmonious flow. Uncluttered and intuitive, its airy layout is ideally suited for a variety of outings.

Powered by T-MAN 800 or 900 CR diesel inboard, v-drive engines – the 55 Sundancer brings a new level of performance on the water. A standard bow thruster ensures that handling is compliant and obedient. Technologically advanced electronics make navigating uncomplicated – in fact, almost effortless. The diesel inboards are controlled by fly-by-wire, feather-light, digital throttle and shift levers. Two large instrument panels help you plot your course. The resplendent control display is bright and accessible. It's a modern day maritime marvel.

Some of the most distinctive new features include oversized, color-matched picture windows, a fully-adjustable queen-size bed with magic-massage-fingers, hardwood floors, cedar-lined closets, touch-pad wall switches, large skylights, hideaway entertainment center and a top-of-the-line, surround-sound audio system.

From the galley to the salon and the cockpit to the large multiple staterooms, Sea Ray's 55 Sundancer has upped the ante by producing a sleek, free flowing, tightly integrated, finely-finished seaworthy vessel. The designers pushed the limits when developing this refined American beauty. It's bound to become a big favorite. New owners will just have to get comfortable drawing slack-jawed stares.

Along with free membership in the Sea Ray Owners Club™, there's a menu of appealing optional items – such as a Crew Quarters, DSS Satellite HDTV system, a transom passerelle system and aft cockpit seating that converts electronically to a sun pad - that makes it possible to personalize the 55 Sundancer to fit individual needs and preferences. For those who are ready to take yachting to the most exclusive level of style, performance and comfort, the new 55 Sundancer from Sea Ray is the ideal choice.
