Boat Share – One season lease of a 2004 35’ Sea Ray Sundancer – $7,500 (Chicago)
This is a great opportunity for anyone to use a wonderful boat this summer for a fraction of the price of full ownership. The boat is in a slip at Burnham Harbor. The season goes from May through October, sign up now and enjoy the entire season.
A very clean and well-maintained freshwater boat, it’s been a great boat for our family and can be a great boat for yours for a fraction of the price and none of the headaches of full ownership. The boat can very comfortably hold 6-10 people with a max of 12 people on board at a time due to US Coast Guard regulations.
There’s plenty of room for family, friends, and almost anything you care to bring onboard the sleek new Sea Ray 320 Sundancer. Thanks to the power of the twin Mercruiser 350s paired with V-drives, you’ll have no trouble leaving your daily routine at the dock as you enjoy hours of relaxing fun on the water. For extended excursions, this stylish cruiser is great for all occasions.
The boat comes with a Raymarine Radar & GPS. Excellent condition cosmetically and mechanically, and a new Blue Tooth Fusion stereo. The cabin is equipped with AC & Heater system, head with vacuflush unit, shower and hot water heater, two AC/DC refrigerators, microwave, cooktop and sink with lots of storage space/cabinets, TV w/remote, 6’ 5” headroom below, very nice interior upholstery. A 4-person inflatable raft, Stand Up Paddleboard for paddling around the harbor or Playpen. We have two bikes at our slip behind the boat for cruising around the lakefront and going over to Boat Drinks for a bite.
Other features, the anchor has an electric windlass unit that raises and lowers the anchor, a 150′ anchor line, a custom-made bow pad for sunbathing, a large swim platform off the back with a large cooler and a swim ladder. A nice canvas cover and isinglass that encloses the entire cockpit area, comes with fenders, life jackets, doc lines, and other extras.
The partners must have boating experience. If you don’t have experience driving a boat like this or would rather enjoy having a few cocktails while out on the lake, you would have to hire a captain to drive it each time.
You pay for the gas you use each time you take the boat out. It’s an average of about $100 in fuel per 4-hour trip to the Playpen and back.
We will schedule your use with the other users using an online scheduling software. We have found most people only go out for 3-4 hours at a time, so most of our slots are just 4 hours. You can combine timeslots to use the boat for the entire day.
