Quick Verdict
- The rare 32-footer that gives you both: bowrider-style forward seating with actuated headrests and armrests, and a cabin Sea Ray rates at sleeps four with an enclosed head
- Twin MerCruiser 6.2L on Bravo Three X drives with Joystick Piloting standard, T-350 hp and SeaCore options, and Dynamic Running Surface available to trim the boat automatically
- Sea Ray publishes no cruise speed, no top speed and no range for this model, so every performance figure quoted for it — including the ones we used to carry — is an estimate
Our Take
The Sundancer 320 solves an argument that plays out in a lot of households. One of you wants the open bow and the sunpad; the other wants a real head, a berth and the option of not driving home in the dark. Most 32-footers make you pick. This one does not, and the way it does it — actuated headrests and armrests in the bow, a convertible V-berth and mid-berth bunks below — is more thoughtful than a compromise usually is.
The coupe option is the one I would think hardest about, and the answer is geographic. A hardtop with a full windshield, opening side vents and a retracting canvas sunroof is transformative in Florida sun or a Great Lakes squall, and money you did not need to spend on a July afternoon in Michigan. Go look at both configurations on the same dock before you decide.
Where the boat asks something of you: Sea Ray publishes nothing about how fast it goes or how far. No cruise, no top end, no range. That is a real gap on a boat whose whole appeal is going somewhere for the weekend. The figures that used to sit on this page were estimates and they are gone. Do the work on the sea trial — hold your real cruising speed, read the fuel flow, divide 158 gallons by it and take 10 percent off for reserve. It takes ten minutes and it is the only honest number you will get.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many people does the Sea Ray Sundancer 320 sleep?
Four. Sea Ray publishes a Sleeps row of Four for the Sundancer 320. The accommodation is a V-berth with seating around a solid wood table that converts into a berth with a mattress, plus mid-berth bunks aft for two more. There is an enclosed head with a shower, a galley with a microwave and refrigerator, and a 27-gallon holding tank behind it. The 32-gallon fresh water capacity tells you the honest mission: this is a weekender with serious day-boat ability, not a boat to live aboard for a week.
How fast does the Sea Ray Sundancer 320 go?
Sea Ray publishes no speed figure for the Sundancer 320 — no cruising speed, no wide-open-throttle band and no range. Its specification block ends after the holding tank and the Sleeps row. What it does publish is the power: twin Mercury MerCruiser 6.2L MPI engines at 300 hp each on Bravo Three X drives as standard, with 350 hp per side optional, moving a 14,000-pound dry weight on a 21-degree deadrise. Any speed you see quoted for this boat is an estimate. Run it at your real cruising speed on the trial, read the fuel burn off the display and divide 158 gallons by it, keeping a reserve.
What is Dynamic Running Surface on the Sundancer 320?
It is Sea Ray's system for automatically optimising the boat's running attitude, adjusting pitch and roll as conditions change. In practice it reduces bow rise as you accelerate onto plane, keeps the boat flatter through turns, and lets you save presets for the trim you prefer. On the Sundancer 320 it is an option rather than standard equipment, offered alongside the twin MerCruiser 6.2L engines and Bravo Three X drives. Sea Ray fits it to selected SLX and Sundancer models.
