I am not trying to get a one is better then the other , but I would like to obtain some differences regarding both models

I know the fuel consumption from the weight difference alone is one item. I am thinking the 370 is using the same engines as the 340 so cruising speeds might be an item

So what are some other differences?

370 has a wider beam
Tank capacities

What about operating parameters?

Thanks

"What about operating parameters?"

Can't imagine what you're looking for that's not in the brochure, found on their web site, learned at the sea trial, or obvious.
The 37 will burn more fuel, move slower, handle seas better, cost more to buy,store and run. Can you be more specific about what info you're looking for.

Well at the Sea Ray site I cannot find what they typically refer to as the operators manual, usually about 6 meg in size which can be downloaded. The also have a general use manual that is somewhere in size from 60-80 Meg


These smaller manuals give items unique specifications, capacities, heights measurements, weights, possible wiring changes etc.to each model, except for the years of 1995,96,97,98,99, 2000 they do not list any such model as a Sundancer 370

For the years of 2000 and up I can find a Sundancer 380 manual. But, if one looks on boat trader or baot.com, they find listings for Sundancer 370's for 1995, 96, 97, 98, 99 etc

So I am trying to download lets say a specific .pdf file where I can compare for example a 1999 340 to a 1999 370

That is all I am interested in finding

I looked on those sights you mentioned an saw some private sellers. Have you thought of just contacting them?

"Three footitis" is an affliction may Sea Ray owners develope. They get a 27' and they want to move to 30', they get a 30' and want to move to a 33'. The 37 will have more room and comforts than a 34. The extra fuel usuage based on 150 hours a year (a lot) is not really a factor compared to all other costs. Buy the boat that will make you happier for a longer period of time.

He speaks the truth. I've always told people that if they are considering two boats always go for the larger because they'll be there soon anyway and it will save a lot of moneyon trade-ins and broker's fees.

3 FOOTITIS (part of 3 yearitis)
YEAR ONE: I love my boat. I will never want any other. It's the perfect size.
YEAR TWO: I love my boat. I will never want any other, but did you see John's? It's amazing how much bigger it seems for only 3 feet longer.
YEAR THREE: But honey, the payment is ONLY $10 a month more and look at all the extra room. It's the perfect size and I will never want any other.
