Both the hull and the deck is made of hand laid fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of hand laid fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.
The deck is a double deck which improves the indoor climate.
The interior is like most other boats made of teak. Teak has the advantage of being naturally very oily and therefore water-repellent, which is suitable on boats.
The boat is equipped with 2 cabins, 5 berths, a galley, 96.0 liter fresh water capacity and toilet facility.
Unknown keel type
The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 0.45 - 0.55 meter (1.48 - 1.78 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
Sea Ray 220 Sundancer may be equipped with an inboard MerCruiser engine at 175 hp (130 kW). Max speed is 37.0 knots.
The transmission is a Z-drive aka sterndrive.
The fuel tank, which is made of stainless steel, has a capacity of 250.0 liters (66 US gallons, 54 imperial gallons).
