Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Sea Ray 350 Sundancer 2009 vs Sea Ray 44 Sedan Bridge 2009: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Sea Ray 350 Sundancer 2009 is a deep-V design and the Sea Ray 44 Sedan Bridge 2009 is a semi-displacement design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Sea Ray 44 Sedan Bridge 2009 measures 45,4 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 7,9 additional feet of deck space compared to the Sea Ray 350 Sundancer 2009 at 37,5 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Sea Ray 44 Sedan Bridge 2009 tips the scales at 28 500 lbs - 10 436 lbs less than the Sea Ray 350 Sundancer 2009 at 18 064 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 478 hp, the Sea Ray 44 Sedan Bridge 2009 has a 103-hp advantage over the Sea Ray 350 Sundancer 2009's 375-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Sea Ray 44 Sedan Bridge 2009 carries 350 gallons versus 225 gallons in the Sea Ray 350 Sundancer 2009. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Sea Ray 44 Sedan Bridge 2009 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Sea Ray 350 Sundancer 2009 caps at 11. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sea Ray 44 Sedan Bridge 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Sea Ray 44 Sedan Bridge 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 13 passengers and at 45,4 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Sea Ray 350 Sundancer 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 11 that costs less to run day-to-day.
