2005 Sea Ray 315 Sundancer - Twin MerCruiser 4.3MPI V6 220hp Bravo 3 - Transom Shields Replaced November 2022 - Jacobs Well QLD



Twin-engine fibreglass sports cruiser, Bravo 3 sterndrives, cockpit seating professionally rejuvenated August 2024, full transom shield and manifold rebuild November 2022, Lowrance HDS9 chartplotter, GME VHF, flat-screen TV, three-berth cabin with galley and enclosed head, Jacobs Well QLD.



Overview

The Sea Ray 315 Sundancer sits in a sweet spot that few sports cruisers hit as cleanly: wide enough to entertain properly at anchor, compact enough to run without a full crew, and capable enough to handle SE Queensland coastal passages with genuine confidence. The twin MerCruiser 4.3MPI V6 Bravo 3 sterndrive setup delivers redundancy offshore and performance when you want it. This example has had meaningful money spent on it in the right places. Both transom shields were replaced in November 2022, along with new manifolds and risers at the same time. On a twin sterndrive vessel of this age, those three jobs together represent the most significant preventive maintenance that can be done, with the work already behind the next owner.



Hull and Exterior

Fibreglass modified-V hull, 9.47m LOA. The white gelcoat presents in good overall condition across 45 photos taken from every angle including extensive underway sequences in Gold Coast waterways. Gelcoat holds consistent gloss across all panels with no visible spider cracking, blistering, oxidation, or significant impact damage from any angle. The dark accent waterline stripe is intact and unfaded. The hull runs cleanly with a symmetrical twin-wake pattern at cruising speed. Stainless steel bow rail and pulpit, swim platform rails, and boarding gate all present well with no visible corrosion. Foredeck in sound condition with flush-mounted anchor locker hatch and bow pulpit with integrated anchor roller and anchoring arrangement. Three oval portlights on each cabin side are intact. Queensland registration BFN92Q displayed on both bows. Note: HIN not recorded in listing and not clearly legible from photos. Buyer to confirm HIN at the starboard transom on inspection.



Engines and Drive

Twin MerCruiser 4.3MPI V6 petrol engines, 220hp each, on Bravo 3 sterndrive units. Both transom shields replaced November 2022. New manifolds and risers fitted at the same time. These are the three highest-value maintenance items on any twin sterndrive cruiser of this era, completed as a package. Vendor advises cruising speeds of approximately 25 to 30 knots with a top speed of around 35 knots. Engine hours are not stated by the vendor and are not visible from the available photos. Inspection of the engine bay and hour meters is strongly recommended prior to bidding.



Electronics and Instruments

Lowrance HDS9 touchscreen chartplotter and fishfinder, bracket-mounted above the helm on a swivel arm, shown powered on and displaying chart data in photos. GME VHF marine radio with handheld microphone clip-mounted at the helm. Full analogue gauge cluster across the burl walnut-finish dash panel including tachometer, speedometer, fuel level, water temperature, oil pressure, voltmeter, and trim indicators. Dual-lever MerCruiser binnacle throttle and shift controls. Navigation and accessory switch panels in matching burl wood surrounds. In-cockpit speaker fitted to the starboard cockpit sidewall.



Cockpit and Deck

Wide-beam cockpit with helm station to starboard, L-shaped companion lounge to port, and aft bench seating with fold-down backrest converting to a sun lounge. Cockpit seating was professionally rejuvenated in August 2024 and presents in fresh condition with Sea Ray logo embossed on the seatbacks. Cockpit table on pedestal with moulded cup holders. Dark grey marine carpet on the cockpit sole in good condition. Extended fibreglass swim platform with stainless steel boarding gate, grab rails, and fold-down boarding ladder. Full black bimini top and camper-back cockpit canvas enclosure with clear vinyl eisenglass panels in good condition with no visible tears, fading, or sagging observed. Vendor advises stainless steel gas BBQ is fitted. Vendor advises davits are mounted on the extended swim platform.



Cabin and Accommodation

Well-presented three-berth cabin finished in cherry/mahogany timber cabinetry and trim throughout. Berth cushions have been re-covered in modern grey fabric and present in excellent condition. White vinyl on the dinette seating is clean with no visible cracking or wear. Overhead foredeck skylight hatch provides natural light throughout the salon and forward cabin.



Sleeping arrangement: forward double V-berth, mid-cabin double berth positioned below the cockpit, and convertible dinette berth. Vendor advises up to six persons can be accommodated.



Galley to starboard features cherry-finish cabinetry, black microwave oven recessed into upper cabinetry, composite countertop with integral single-basin sink and chrome hot and cold mixer tap, 2-burner flush-mount stove, and refrigerator. Built-in cabin speakers fitted port and starboard in the forward cabin area. Flat-screen TV mounted on a bracket in the salon, positioned to be viewed from both the dinette and mid-cabin berth.



Enclosed head compartment with marine toilet, vanity basin with chrome mixer tap, opening portlight for natural ventilation, and shower.



Market Context

Current comparable 2005 Sea Ray 315 Sundancer examples are listed at $79,900 to $89,500 through dealerships on boatsales.com.au (April 2026), with a 2004 equivalent asking $69,950 sail away. The recent transom shield, manifold, and riser investment plus fresh cockpit upholstery place this example in a strong position relative to unserviced alternatives in that retail range. An auction result in the $45,000 to $65,000 bracket represents a material discount to the current retail market for a well-equipped and recently serviced sports cruiser of this size.
