Each number is one boat: its asking price in thousands of pounds, at today's market level, set above the year it was built. The orange line is the model's middle price for its age; the shaded band holds the middle half. Tap a number to see the boat behind it. The price scale is logarithmic: each step up is the same percentage.

About the Sea Ray 290 Sundancer

The boats behind this page were built between 1991 and 2015 and have been listed since Oct 2020, most often in the US market. 30% of the boats seen at least 14 days apart have cut their asking price.

How we measure: we read public listings from brokers and marketplaces, count a boat once when it appears on several sites, store its asking price each time it changes, and restate older asking prices at today's market level. We never republish a listing, a photograph or a seller. Every figure is recomputed nightly and dated; below five boats we publish nothing. The 58 boats here were listed in Europe and the US.
