1988 SEA RAY 390 EXPRESS CRUISER TWIN CATERPILLAR'S 3208 DIESEL
This is a nice 1988 Sea Ray 390 with the relatively rare diesel power option. Offers reliable and economical cruising for extended runs and comfortable accommodations.
The boat has loads of space both in the cockpit and in the cabin below. It will be equally well-suited as a comfortable beach cabin substitute or as a great near-coastal cruiser.
The boat is well equipped and ready to take your family anywhere or nowhere at all. The cockpit space is largely free-form form and you will be able to add furniture to your liking.
There are fixed seating areas forward for the helm and the side seating. The helm is well equipped with all controls and gauges well situated. There are trim tabs and a windlass operated from here as well. Electronics include radar, GPS, fishfinder, and VHF -all older but in working order.
The cabin is huge and well-appointed. The boat's almost 14' beam really shines here - there is space for everything AND space between everything. The main salon offers a convertible dinette as well as a nicely equipped galley. Large and well-ventilated, you will not be afraid of rainy days with the kids.
The galley has a sink, icemaker, a fridge, microwave, and 3 3-burner stove. There is a good counter and storage space in the galley as well as throughout the boat.
Forward, there is a bunk room to starboard and a full enclosed head to port. The bunk room can be kept open to the salon or closed off for privacy, depending on crew needs. The head has a VacuFlush head with a holding tank, vanity with sink and mirror, as well as a stall shower.
All the way forward is the master stateroom. With a large vee berth, hanging locker and more storage it makes a great get away while on getaway.
