2001 Sea Ray 240 Sundeck

This 2001 Sea Ray 240 Sundeck is a 24-foot open-deck runabout built on a solid fiberglass hull with a 102-inch beam that carries well forward for maximum deck and seating room. The 7.4L V8 sterndrive pushes 240 horsepower and runs just 250 hours, giving you real speed and range from a 65-gallon fuel tank. The layout includes a portside head compartment, dual swim ladder setup for beaching and water sports, and the kind of storage you actually need for a full day out. Sterndrive power means shallow-water maneuvering and easy towing if you’re into wakeboarding.

A boat like this handles the transition from Whitefish Lake’s morning calm to afternoon chop without complaint, and the open deck makes it work for families who want seating flexibility and sightlines over a traditional bowrider. The 21-degree deadrise and that wide beam keep the ride stable in a building blow on Flathead without sacrificing the efficiency you get from a lighter, more nimble platform. It’s the kind of rig that covers a long day of running, anchoring, and entertaining without breaking a sweat. You’ll find it at Whitefish Marine, or call 406-862-8594.
