Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Sea Ray 550 Sedan Bridge 2005 vs Sea Ray 600 Sun Sport 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Sea Ray 550 Sedan Bridge 2005 vs Sea Ray 600 Sun Sport 2005 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Sea Ray 550 Sedan Bridge 2005 measures 58,0 feet overall (2005), giving it roughly 52,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Sea Ray 600 Sun Sport 2005 at 6,0 feet (2005). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Sea Ray 550 Sedan Bridge 2005 tips the scales at 515 lbs — 467 lbs more than the Sea Ray 600 Sun Sport 2005 at 48 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Sea Ray 600 Sun Sport 2005 is rated for 18 passengers, while the Sea Ray 550 Sedan Bridge 2005 caps at 17. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sea Ray 600 Sun Sport 2005 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Sea Ray 600 Sun Sport 2005 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 18 passengers and at 6,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Sea Ray 550 Sedan Bridge 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 17 that costs less to run day-to-day.
