Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Sea Ray 350 Sundancer 2013 vs Sea Ray 520 Sedan Bridge 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Sea Ray 350 Sundancer 2013 against a semi displacement Sea Ray 520 Sedan Bridge 2011 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 764 hp, the Sea Ray 520 Sedan Bridge 2011 has a 464-hp advantage over the Sea Ray 350 Sundancer 2013's 300-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 350 Sundancer 2013 carries 225 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Sea Ray 520 Sedan Bridge 2011. 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 520 Sedan Bridge 2011 is rated for 15 passengers, while the Sea Ray 350 Sundancer 2013 caps at 10. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sea Ray 520 Sedan Bridge 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Sea Ray 520 Sedan Bridge 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 15 passengers and at 52,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Sea Ray 350 Sundancer 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 10 that costs less to run day-to-day.
