Sea Ray 240 Sundeck
The Sea Ray 240 Sundeck is a 24-foot boat, with model years from 1997 to 2017 in the listings we track. Across 51 listings we have observed (model years 1997–2017), the median asking price is $22,000, with most boats asking $18,000 to $30,000.
BoatVerdict market snapshot
These are asking prices. No free or public source publishes US used-boat transaction prices, so nobody — us included — can honestly show you what these boats sold for. What we can show you is what 51 sellers are asking, which is the number you are actually negotiating against.
32 priced listings across 20 states is a national sample, so the range is stable.
Method: Asking prices from active listings, de-duplicated so a re-posted boat counts once (167 raw listings collapsed to 51 distinct boats). Quartiles, not averages, so one outlier cannot move the band. Rounded to $500.
Coverage: Model years 1997–2017, 20 states, 45 metro areas. New-boat listings excluded.

The BoatVerdict take
- BoatVerdict listing data
Supply is national: we saw listings in 20 states. You can shop this model without flying somewhere, and you will not be the only boat on the market when you sell.
- Recall (USCG/CPSC)
34 federal recall campaigns on file touch this builder. Check the specific hull against the recall list below before you put money down; remedies are free but only if the work was actually done.
Each point is tagged with the evidence behind it. Nothing here is a claim we cannot trace back to a counted listing, a federal record, or a named analyst judgement.

Asking prices from active listings we observed, not sold prices. No public source publishes US used-boat transaction prices; anyone showing you "sold" data for this market is estimating it. Years with fewer than 3 priced listings show the count only.
Method: Median and quartiles per model year, computed only where at least 3 priced listings exist for that year.

What to inspect on a used Sea Ray 240 Sundeck
- Assume saltwater service unless the seller can prove otherwise: pull the engine cowling and look at the powerhead, check trim-cylinder rams for pitting, and open the battery and fuse boxes for green corrosion. 83% of the listings we observed for this model are in coastal states.
- On the older hulls, core moisture is the deal-breaker: sound the transom and the deck with a plastic mallet, and treat any soft or dull-sounding area as a survey-stopper rather than a bargaining chip. We observe listings back to 1997, so boats over 29 years old are actively traded in this model.
This list is specific to this model: analyst items for the hull, plus items driven by the engines and the regions we actually observe on 240 Sundeck listings. It is not a generic pre-purchase checklist, and it does not replace a surveyor.
What a 240 Sundeck costs to own
$3,750 – $10k per year
- 24 ft hull, the median observed length for this model
- Saltwater berth, based on where most listings we see are located (FL)
- Includes insurance, storage, routine service, fuel at moderate seasonal use, and a reserve for wear items
- Excludes loan payments, major engine replacement, and refit work
This is a modelled band, not observed spend. Real cost swings hard on where you keep the boat and how much you use it.
Method: The same ownership-cost model BoatVerdict's paid Deal Report uses: boat class and length set the base band, then saltwater berth and size adjust it.
