A Modern Classic in Progress—Now Ready for Your Vision
SUNRAY is a privately commissioned wood-composite dayboat built by Van Dam Custom Boats. This 50’ project is under construction and available for immediate purchase. Inspired by classics like the Chris-Craft Constellation, Hatteras motor yachts, and vintage Trumpys, SUNRAY blends timeless lines with modern craftsmanship, finish, and performance. Designed with a great power-to-weight ratio, this boat is light, nimble, and engineered for an exceptional ride—one that can still be shaped by its future owner.
Highlights include an intuitive ground tackle system mounted through the stem for a clean, low-profile look, a jump seat set into the foredeck, and generous walkarounds with high handrails for safe movement bow to stern. The open salon offers 360° views and a comfortable space for entertaining, with multi-zone HVAC and the option to add a C-Zone system for fully customizable lighting and electronics. Below, a full galley, generous dinette, and stand-alone shower ensure comfort for extended days on the water.
Powered by twin Cummins QSC 8.3L 600 HP engines, SUNRAY cruises comfortably at 33–35 MPH, with a top speed of 40 MPH. A Seakeeper 6 keeps the ride smooth, and custom mufflers paired with high-density soundproofing keep the interior quiet. A 21.5Kw Onan genset powers onboard systems, while joystick controls make maneuvering effortless.
SUNRAY offers the rare opportunity to own a Van Dam that is 60% complete—saving significant time in design, fabrication, and delivery. Much can still be customized to meet the new owner’s vision. This is a unique chance to own one of the world’s finest wooden boats.
