Turn-Key Classic: 1992 Sea Ray 400 Express Cruiser

If you know the golden era of Sea Ray, you know the 400 Express Cruiser is a legend. Celebrated for its massive beam, incredible cockpit layout, and timeless lines, it remains the ultimate weekend entertainer and long-range cruiser.

But let’s be honest—finding one from this era that hasn't been neglected is tough. That’s what makes this particular vessel a total unicorn. Extremely well-maintained, pristine, and 100% operational, this is a turn-key boat where everything functions exactly as it should. No projects, no headaches—just turn the keys and throw off the bowlines.

Key Highlights & Features 

• Reliable Power & Mechanicals: Powered by twin Mercruiser 7.4L engines with 1,050 well-documented hours. They start right up, run smooth, and have been meticulously serviced.

• Off-Grid Comfort: The Quicksilver 7.5 kW generator has only 685 hours and easily powers all onboard systems, including the ice-cold AC, so you can anchor out in complete comfort.

• Upgraded Helm & Electronics: Navigating is a breeze thanks to a modern, crisp Garmin touch-screen GPS/chartplotter.

• Premium Polycarbonate Enclosure: Forget yellowed, cloudy Eisenglass. This boat features a high-end, crystal-clear polycarbonate canvas enclosure that offers superior visibility, durability, and weather protection.

• Interior Amenities: The spacious cabin features a fully functional galley, a massive salon couch, and a private master stateroom. Includes a reliable, odor-free Vacu-flush toilet system.

Vessel Overview

The 1992 Sea Ray 400 Express Cruiser is a premier example of a classic, wide-beam sport yacht designed for both effortless entertaining and serious offshore cruising. Built on a solid fiberglass deep-V hull with a 19 degree transom deadrise, it delivers a smooth, dry ride even in choppy waters. Its expansive beam allows for a remarkably spacious layout both on deck and in the cabin, making it feel significantly larger than a typical 40-foot boat.

Above-Deck Layout: Cockpit & Helm
The single-level cockpit is explicitly engineered for socializing and seamless movement. Because the engines are situated beneath the cockpit floor rather than under the salon, the outdoor living space is incredibly vast.

• The Helm & Companion Seating: Features an adjustable double-wide helm seat to starboard providing excellent visibility, matched by a double-wide companion bench seat to port with integrated storage underneath.

• Aft Entertainment Area: The rear of the cockpit boasts massive U-shaped lounge seating with a removable cockpit table—perfect for alfresco dining. This entire aft section can also convert into a large sun pad.

• Cockpit Fridge: Located on the port side, keeping refreshments close at hand without needing to go below.

• Radar Arch & Canvas: A heavy-duty fiberglass radar arch provides the structure for the premium, crystal-clear polycarbonate canvas enclosure, protecting passengers from the elements while maintaining perfect visibility.

• Transom Access: A starboard-side transom door leads directly to a wide, integrated swim platform complete with a hidden boarding ladder and a freshwater cockpit shower.

Below-Deck Layout: Cabin & Accommodations
Stepping down into the cabin reveals a luxurious, wide-open salon filled with handcrafted wood trim and deep-pile carpeting, fully climate-controlled by a two-zone 12,000 BTU marine AC/heating system.

• Main Salon: Located to starboard, featuring a sprawling, curved sofa and a matching dining table. The sofa easily converts into an additional sleeper for overnight guests, supplemented by deep overhead gunwale cabinets and floor storage.

• Full Service Galley: Positioned to port, the large galley is highly functional for extended trips. It includes a breakfast bar with stools, an upright refrigerator/freezer, a multi-burner electric cooktop, a microwave, a deep fiberglass sink and plenty of cabinet storage.

• Forward Master Stateroom: A private oasis at the bow featuring a centerline pedestal island double berth, twin hanging lockers, mirrored accents, and a solid privacy door.

• Starboard Guest Stateroom / Sitting Room: A uniquely clever design feature. By day, it serves as an open sitting room off the main salon. By night, a curved, sliding pocket door seals it off entirely to create a private second stateroom, complete with a full-size lower berth and a pull-out single upper bunk.

• Head Compartment: Located to port with dual access doors. It features a vanity with sink, storage, a reliable Vacu-Flush toilet system, and a completely separate fiberglass shower stall enclosed by a curved acrylic door.

Condition Note
Recent interval repairs on engines include new heat exchangers and ceramic coated manifolds and risers, cutlass bearings and complete new cooling system and manifold on the generator.
