1998 Sea Ray 540 Sundancer Freshwater Only | Detroit Diesel Power | Immaculate Condition |Turnkey Offered here is a standout example of Sea Ray’s flagship express cruiser — a 1998 540 Sundancer, powered by twin Detroit Diesel 6V-92 DDEC engines (625hp) with just over 1,000 original freshwater hours. This is a clean, well-kept boat that’s been run regularly and maintained to a very high standard by just its second owner. The boat has lived its entire life in freshwater, currently kept at a private lake house. In 2021, the hull was professionally sandblasted, and in 2024, both the canvas and Eisenglass were replaced. Most recently, a brand-new TNT hydraulic swim platform was installed — a significant and valuable upgrade for any boater looking for tender storage or easy water access. Inside, the boat features a warm maple wood interior, two private staterooms, two full heads, and a full galley with a full-size refrigerator, stove, and ample storage. The convertible aft lounge transforms into a berth at the push of a button, offering flexible sleeping accommodations. Other notable features include dual A/C units, icemaker, washer/dryer combo, sun pads, windlass anchor, and washdowns at both bow and stern. Electronics have been updated with Bluetooth functionality and a 12" Raymarine Axiom multifunction display, which integrates GPS/chartplotter, radar, sonar, and autopilot into one easy-to-use system. This advanced setup gives you real-time navigation, depth readings, route planning, and situational awareness all from a single screen — a major upgrade for confident cruising. Systems are all fully operational, and the overall condition — inside and out — reflects a boat that’s been properly enjoyed and properly maintained. If you know the 540 Sundancer, you know what this is — a rare freshwater example with the right power, ownership history, and upgrades. It’s turnkey and ready for its next chapter. Survey conducted April 2022 available upon request. For more information or to schedule a showing call SkipperBud's in Grand Haven.
