2003 Cruisers 405 Express Sold Boat in Dania, FL US

The 40' Cruisers Yachts 4050 Express Motor Yacht offers an express layout on the upper deck while providing full aft-cabin comfort below.

This is a "Pet" and "Child" friendly yacht with wide molded-in entry stairs to the sundeck from the swim step.

The Cruisers 4050 is designed with systems accessibility, an uncomplicated environment and about as much hassle-free boating as buyers can expect and the 4050 makes boating easy.

Open the four centerline hatches and you have a quick visual of most ship's systems. Beneath the master berth aft is the rear bilge, with steering, underwater exhaust and trim tab external assemblies.

Through the salon sole is the machinery compartment, including the main engines, electrical system and generator. A third hatch, forward of the engine compartment, leads to the air-conditioning compressors, the holding tank and the pumps. A hatch within the forward cabin leads to the optional bow thruster and its dedicated battery.

This ease of access, along with the gray-water collector and sump keep bilge areas clean and dry.

Under way, the feel is more like an express boat with a slightly elevated helm. Only a glance at the aft reminds you this is a motor yacht. Sitting behind the helm is quite comfortable, and all controls are within easy reach.

The windshield is tall, offering no interference with sight lines at the meeting of the isinglass.

The cockpit area is one step down from the helm, keeping everyone together under way or dockside. Aside from the sunpad forward, most areas are enclosed, which will let families extend the boating season by a month or two on either side of summer.

Molded into the enclosure's sides, a foot off the deck, are air scoops. These ventilate the area behind the transom, effectively reducing fumes while under way and preventing a station wagon effect from developing.

Below decks, plenty of natural light fills the full-beam salon (side decks are above cabin height). There is clear separation between social areas and the galley, and the dinette and L-shape settee convert to berths.

As with other boats in her class, the 4050's galley has uncluttered working surfaces. A convenient four-gang, not two, outlet is above the counter for multiple appliances.

An aluminum grid system supports the salon sole. The main engines are between the marine plywood, fiberglass-encapsulated stringers on through-bolted aluminum brackets. Cruisers says this method reduces vibration.

The aft master has a formal look, with cabinetry embracing the room. A large aft-facing hatch provides air and an alternate means of escape.

The forward stateroom has stowage beneath its queen berth, and a true fiberglass liner within will keep clothing and stores clean and dry. This stateroom has a split head and shower arrangement, making life much easier on long cruises when personal space tends to diminish. Translucent skylights bring in additional light.

Boarding and offloading is via the side deck at cockpit level, or from the swim platform at the bottom of a quarter-circle molded staircase. The platform is large enough for a few people to stand.

Cockpit lighting can be illuminated when boarding from the platform.
