$199,000 1994 REFIT SEA RAY SUNDANCER 500 Express Cruiser YACHT TOUR Liveaboard REMODEL Walkthrough
Yachts for Sale: bit.ly/3f2TR2L
Join us on the Self-guided Tour;) of this Beautifully REFITTED 1994 Sea Ray Sundancer 500. I know a lot of you are very familiar with this model, but I'm sure you have not seen one like this yet! The owners own an Architectural Design Firm and it definitely shows... 199... what?! I definitely could not tell the age of this boat once I stepped on board, they did a pretty fantastic job... so we wanted to share this Lady with you all to hopefully give you some ideas and inspirations on what can be done with some imagination & some funds to revive an older Lady into a Hipster Chick! lol
Also, the layout of this Yacht is pretty great for a liveaboard for a couple or a single person - so maybe it gives you some ideas!
Let me know what you thought of this refit in the comments and if you would have done this refit what would you do differently? #BoatRefit

It just goes to show you do not need super Yacht to be comfortable or as a live aboard. Tastefully refitted and every bit of spare space used. Lovely entertainment space and cabins well fitted. If they ever chose to sell it they have an excellent well presented video to sell it for them. As usual beautiful presentation by a photogenic happy couple who know what they are talking about. Thanks for the video, always gives us ideas. Take care be safe

Just goes to show what can be done with time, money and most importantly imagination. If your not in a rush you can buy a boat cheap and if you can do most of the work yourself end up with something really special. Thanks Nauti for showing something different.

Sea Ray has always made quality boats. I’ve only been familiar with their smaller boats. Friends had one in 1980 I remember well.
Awesome... perfect upgrade! That one is "Perfect". That's the perfect boat, got my attention, lovely perfect ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great selection of sea going yacht with exceptional value.
I had a 72 Sea ray 16ft outboard skiboat. It was a fabulous boat with zero issues in 20 years of use. Evinrude 135hp was super reliable and perfect size for this heavy boat. This looks nice!💖
I love the old gentleman's boats with all the varnished cherry wood and brass....classic..the new boat upholstery looks so k mart
I love this boat, very beautiful. This is one me and my wife could live on.
She should get a lot of credit on pushing the fashion part of this as to what she wears. Bold and fun.

Victoria is cute. This boat is a great find. I have a 2003 Sea Ray 500. Replaced the floors in the salon with one's that look like the floor on this boat. Also put in Corian counters throughout and G series Raymarine electronics. It makes the boat look at least 10 years younger. People are amazed when they see it. So much room. My wife loves it. This boat is so nicely done. The one thing I would like to know is how they installed the lights in the interior floor. Super nice!
Love how they have made something old look incredible, must book myself in for a make over LOL. AMAZING BOAT .
This is impressive.The light colors with dark trim and rounded corners everywhere. Very well executed. And a nice walk through as well. Of course you are my favorite couple on KZread doing yacht reviews who are from two different countries - and are married - and both captains. Yup, my two favorites in that broad category.
I love the two tone floor! Okay have to add to my original comment. That bar is beautiful. And the master bed! Absolutely adore that layout. I wanna curl up with a book and my puppy on there.

This is one the best and cheapest live aboard boats you ever reviewed. Love it. Oh.... I just heard you say it’s not for sale. I knew it was too good to be true. There’s no way the owners could do all this work and sell it for $200k. Even if they got the boat for free. It’s clear they have a ton of talent.

I thoughtthe same thing. I would love to know the true cost of obtaining and refitting a boat like this, to this level. Also, no mention of any work done to the motors.
If the stringers and transom are not rotten (or perhaps they are solid/not wood and cant rot?) as often happens in older neglected boats and the engines are not needing a rebuild restoration any time soon, (you did not talk about the engines much, how many hours etc) then this is a beautifully priced boat. Wish it was in Australia I would be interested to at least have a look. Its hard to say "what would you do differently" They have done a great job. I guess I would look at wanting to have easy removal of the rear deck to access the engines should the need so arise. Good video.
Beautiful boat regardless of age. The long bow makes this boat very appealing. It was nice to see the wood floors in the salon. The work on the helm was awesome and would make any captain happy to pilot this boat. Great tour by everyone's favorite couple and team. Thank you Victoria and Rico. Your perspectives are always welcomed as your life aboard your own yacht make you both so knowledgeable and your comparisons make it fun. Every tour with with America's favorite couple is fun!

Yes that flooring was brilliant, notice they used underseat lighting to highlight it even more.
An exceptional opportunity for someone smart, an incredible interior, it's small enough to offer a speed of 22 to 28 kns and large enough to go most places and do most things.
The lines on her aft are exquisite. Also, the back of the boat is nice too.
Those red pants are filled very well. That vessel has been really well done. Thank you for the Vlog. Went out boating today (9/26/2020) on the Napa River in my old 1992 Malibu Sunsetter ski boat. Had a nice time.
That bar is soooo cool ... and wine storage!!! ... What a buy!
This boat would be perfect to live on! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!!
This boat is so perfect.. Love what they did with the retrofit.
Lol you guys are funny. Runway on the bow. It is long enough you could put a couple of jet ski's on there easy. This is a very nice boat, they put a lot of work into it. Thanks for sharing.

The correct terminology for what you guys called a "toilet-shower combo" is "wet bath." Naturally, a conventional bathroom which has a separate stand-up shower and commode is known as a "dry bath." These short hand expressions have been used in the recreational vehicle community for many years. It is not uncommon for smaller RVs, or couples campers, to have wet baths due limited space considerations. The boating and RV industries share many such expressions. Your presentations are very polished and entertaining. Even though I am an RV enthusiast, I enjoy your vlogs very much.

If I won the lottery, I would park this in Newport, Oregon as my weekend live-aboard. I would so love this. Your two’s live-aboard is nice (great). My Saturday-Sunday watch Football, drink beer, eat Ribs and salad boat. And when the Pacific is kind of calm, grab a pole and fish, and eat fresh fish. And hunt Dungeness crabs. Love the guest cabin. I like boat living, and RV’s. The master Bed is great, too. Oh, damn, not for sale! I guess, flipping one of a lower price, is an option. Nice, Thanks for an inspirational video. The Catalina wine mixer worthy boat.
Love the US $125,000 to $250,000 priced options!!! Keep up the great work!!!

When i clicked on the video and saw you saying you had something very special to show. I had to agree .
We call that Bristol condition...! Very nicely done..!
Wow that a really good floor plan for that boat they did a amazing job on it. If I had to get a boat today thats what Id get. :)
Super beautiful. CVS has a great reputation for their hulls. Siri made this boat timeless, I like it way better than the bigger yachts and it’s something Easy to handle and at the same time it’s so roomy and has that 007 style
