Quick Verdict
- At 39'9" it runs a little over two feet longer than the sterndrive Sundancer 370's 37'8", and the extra length is all transom bracket — 21,008 lb dry against the sterndrive's 20,800 lb
- Standard power is triple Mercury 300 Verado V8 outboards with Joystick Piloting and e-Steering; twin Mercury 600 Verado 7.6L V12s sit on the option list
- Trims up to a 29" draft against 40" down — two inches shallower at rest than the sterndrive Sundancer 370's 31"
- Sleeps four across two spaces: a forward V-berth lounge that converts to a sleeper for two, and a mid-berth with a standard U-shaped couch that does the same. The enclosed head has a separate shower rather than a wet bath
- CZone digital switching and dual 12" Simrad GO12 displays are standard; a Seakeeper 3 gyro is optional
- Bring your own numbers to the sea trial: hold your real cruising speed, read fuel flow at that rpm, and work the range off 250 gallons
Our Take
There are two very different propulsion packages on offer here — three 300s or two 600s — and they make for two different boats to own, not just two horsepower numbers. Run the one you actually intend to buy. Hold the speed you would keep on a Saturday, read the fuel flow off the displays at that rpm, and work the arithmetic against 250 gallons yourself. That is the figure that decides your weekends, and it is worth an hour on the water to get it right.
Then there is the length. The outboard boat is 39'9" against the sterndrive's 37'8", and every inch of that difference sits behind the transom carrying the bracket. You are not buying a bigger cabin with it — the beam is the same 12'0", the tank is the same 250 gallons, the deadrise is the same 20°. You are buying a longer boat to berth and engines you can put your hands on. For a lot of owners that is a straight win. For anyone tight on slip length it is not. Work out which one you are before you fall for the hull.
What I genuinely like is that the accommodation is split. A forward V-berth lounge that makes up into a double, a mid-berth with a U-shaped couch that makes up into another, and an enclosed head with a separate shower instead of a curtain over the sole. That is four people sleeping in two rooms on a 39-foot boat, and it is the reason this hull works for a family weekend rather than just a long Saturday. If I were speccing one, the Coupe enclosure and the Seakeeper 3 would come before the V12s.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast is the Sea Ray Sundancer 370 Outboard?
Triple Mercury 300 Verado V8 outboards with Joystick Piloting and e-Steering are standard, and twin Mercury 600 Verado 7.6L V12s sit on the option list — two very different packages on the same 39'9" hull at 21,008 pounds dry. Treat any speed quoted for it as somebody's estimate.
Get the number on the sea trial in the exact package you intend to order: hold the speed you would keep on a Saturday, read the fuel flow at that rpm, and work the range off 250 gallons.
How does the Sundancer 370 Outboard differ from the sterndrive Sundancer 370?
The outboard is 39'9" against the sterndrive's 37'8", and almost all of that extra length is transom bracket rather than cabin. Dry weight is 21,008 pounds against 20,800, and draft is 40 inches down and 29 up against 42 and 31. Power is triple Mercury 300 Verado V8 outboards against twin MerCruiser 8.2L MAG HO engines making 860 horsepower.
Per Sea Ray's own blocks the two genuinely share the 12'0" beam, 250 gallons of fuel, 46 gallons of water, a 30-gallon holding tank, 20 degrees of deadrise and a Sleeps: Four rating. You are buying a longer boat to berth and engines you can put your hands on.
What engines does the Sea Ray Sundancer 370 Outboard come with?
Standard is triple Mercury 300 Verado V8 outboards with Joystick Piloting and e-Steering. Twin Mercury 600 Verado 7.6L V12 outboards sit on Sea Ray's option list for the same boat — 1,200 horsepower on two brackets instead of 900 on three.
Standard helm equipment is a digital dash with dual 12-inch Simrad GO12 touchscreens and CZone digital switching for full lighting control. A Seakeeper 3 gyroscopic stabilizer is optional, as is a Coupe version with a hardtop, a full windshield and electrically actuated windows.
Where do four people sleep on the Sundancer 370 Outboard?
In two separate spaces, which is the reason this hull works for a family weekend rather than just a long Saturday. Forward, a V-berth lounge transitions from an L-shaped couch to a sleeper for two. Aft, the mid-berth has a standard U-shaped couch that converts to a sleeper for two as well, with an optional smart TV.
The head is enclosed with a separate shower rather than a curtain over the sole, and the galley carries a standard microwave and refrigerator. Fresh water is 46 gallons and the holding tank 30 gallons.
