1997 Sea Ray Express Cruiser
A truly different twist on the later-model Sea Ray "Sedan Bridge" styles familiar to all - the Express Bridge 44 presents a sleek deckhouse profile due to a huge sunken salon made possible by utilizing V-Drive power-trains taken off of powerful Caterpillar diesels. These 3126 Cats have had the appropriate rework from Caterpillar. Both engines have been replaced, one in 2018, the other in 2010. Every inch of interior space is utilized out to the hull sides in order to create a salon of cavernous proportions. The flybridge is an entertainment platform unto itself with a centerline helm station surrounded by seating for a crowd. Access to the foredeck is safe and easy through the centerline windshield steps down. Demand for this model is always high as there are many fewer Express Bridge models available as compared with the ubiquitous Sedan Bridge. Don't hesitate to call on this very clean boat.The owner is waiting for well considered offers.

Truly one of the most comfortable and expansive layouts ever designed with a large single level living area. A large master berth is forward with its own large ensuite head including separate stall shower, quality fixtures, and Vacuflush toilet. There is ample storage and closet space for extended cruising time. The immense portside dinette converts to a large berth accomodating another two people.

The midcabin has its own head as well.
