Sea Ray Express Cruiser

FOR SALE IS OUR 1994 40FT SEA RAY EXPRESS CRUISER .WE PURCHASED HER FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHO HAS HAD HEALTH ISSUES FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS AND HAD LEFT HER STORED ON LAND AT A LOCAL MARINA .THE REASON WE HAD DECIDED TO BUY HER WAS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE HULL , DECK ETC WAS IN ORIGINAL UNMOLESTED CONDITION , WE DO BUY AND SELL BOATS AND HAD PLANNED ON GETTING THE SEA RAY CLEANED UP AND THEN RESOLD FOR THE SPRING 2018 SEASON AND THEN SELL FOR A PROFIT BUT WE HAVE OWNED HER SINCE LAST YEAR AND HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO DO MUCH YET AS WE ARE BUSY WITH 3 OTHER PROJECTS SO WE DECIDED TO LIST TO SEE IF WE COULD RECOUP OUR MONEY IF NOT I WILL JUST WAIT UNTIL LATER IN THE SEASON OR LEAVE HER FOR NEXT YEAR .WE HAVE SPENT A FEW DAYS LAST WEEK GIVING HER A BASIC CLEAN UP AND GOING THROUGH THE SYSTEMS SO I AM ABLE TO GIVE A POTENTIAL BUYER A REALISTIC OVERVIEW OF THE BOATS CONDITION .BELOW THE WATERLINE WE HAVE JUST HAD HER PROFESSIONALLY SANDED BACK TO THE GELCOAT AND NEW BOTTOM AND ANTIFOULING PAINT APPLIED BY THE MARINA . THE RUNNING GEAR / RUDDERS AND WHEELS / PROPELLERS LOOK TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION AS PICTURED .THE HULL SIDES LOOK AWESOME IF YOU DID NOT KNOW ANY BETTER YOU WOULD THINK THE BOAT IS 5 YEARS OLD . THERE IS 1 AREA IN THE BOW AROUND 12 INCHES LONG BY 8 INCHES WHERE A SMALL REPAIR HAS BEEN MADE , THE OLD OWNER SUPPOSEDLY BUMPED THE CORNER OF A FLOATING DOCK , IT IS ABOVE THE WATERLINE AND NOT STRUCTURAL AND FRANKLY A SMALL AREA OVERALL BUT I WANT TO MENTION IT .UP ON DECK SHE IS SOLID UNDERFOOT , WE DID NOT DETECT ANY SOFT SPOTS ON THE FOREDECK AREA NOR IN THE COCKPIT , SOLID ALL AROUND THE WINDLASS AREA AS WELL , I THINK WITH A GOOD COMPOUND AND WAX THE DECK WOULD LOOK AS GOOD AS THE HULL SIDES DO .THE ONE COCKPIT SEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE COCKPIT COULD USE SOME ATTENTION , THERE IS A PIECE AROUND 4 INCHES BY 6 INCHES ON THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT WHERE SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED TO THE CORNER , I WOULD TAKE THE SEAT TO AN UPHOLSTERY PLACE AND HAVE THEM STITCH IN A REPAIR PANEL WHICH WE HAVE HAD DONE ON OTHER BOATS MANY TIMES BEFORE .SOME OF THE SIDE PANELS IN THE COCKPIT NEED TO HAVE THE WOOD BACKING REPLACED . THIS IS NOT A DIFFICULT JOB , YOU NEED TO UNBOLT THEM , REMOVE THE VINYL , USE THE WOOD AS TEMPLATES AND THEN MAKE NEW BACKING . AGAIN SOMETHING WHICH ONE COULD DO ONES SELF AND SAVE A LOT OF MONEY . AS YOU ENTER DOWN BELOW YOU WILL SEE SHE APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL , CARPETS INTERIOR ETC , THE INTERIOR CUSHIONS ARE ALL IN DECENT SHAPE BUT COULD USE A GOOD CLEANING IN MY OPINION BUT THEY ARE NOT DAMAGED .THE CARPET IN THE MAIN SALON AREA DOES HAVE STAINS UNDER THE FACTORY COVERS FROM 2 BARSTOOLS THAT HAD STEEL FEET AND LEFT SOME RUST MARKS AGAIN I KNOW THE CARPET NEEDS AT A MINIMUM A GOOD STEAM CLEAN ALTHOUGH IF IT WAS UP TO ME AND I WAS KEEPING THE BOAT I WOULD REPLACE THEM .THIS MODEL SEA RAY CAN SLEEP 6 PEOPLE , 2 FORWARD IN THE QUEEN BERTH IN THE MASTER STATEROOM , 2 IN THE SALON AREA WHERE THE WRAP AROUND SOFA PULLS OUT TO MAKE A DOUBLE AND 2 IN THE SECOND CABIN IN A BUNK STYLE LAYOUT .WE HAVE TESTED MOST OF THE SYSTEMS , WE WENT THROUGH THE 12V SYSTEMS , CHECKING , LIGHTS WHICH I DO BELIEVE MOST WORK , WE TESTED THE VACUFLUSH HEAD / TOILET , THE WATER SYSTEMS FROM THE FAUCET ETC .WE HAVE TESTED THE ENGINES AND GENERATOR WHICH ARE ALL FRESH WATER COOLED , BOTH ENGINES DO RUN AND WE HAVE RUN BOTH ENGINES FROM A REMOTE TANK FOR AROUND 15 MINUTES EACH . BOTH DO PUMP WATER AND GO IN AND OUT OF GEAR .BOTH ENGINES HAVE AROUND 1000 HOURS AND ARE MERCRUISER 7.4 V8'STHE GENERATOR ALSO RUNS ALTHOUGH A CARB SERVICE IS IN ORDER , I NEED TO CHECK THE HOUR METER AND LET YOU KNOW THE EXACT HOURS ON THAT .WE DID HAVE ALMOST ALL OF THE FUEL PUMPED FROM THE TANKS AS IT HAD OBVIOUSLY BEEN STANDING FOR A WHILE , WHEN THE MECHANIC WAS WORKING ON THE ENGINES AND GENERATOR HE USED AN AUXILIARY TANK .WE DID NOT TEST THE AC SYSTEMS AS WE WERE UNABLE TO REACH SHORE POWER FROM WHERE THE BOAT IS CURRENTLY BLOCKED ON LAND .SO I WOULD SAY AS AN OVERVIEW , YOU ARE BUYING A $50k TO $80,000 RETAIL BOAT FOR PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR , YOU WILL NEED TO CLEAN UP THE UPHOLSTERY BUY CANVAS AND THEN YOU WILL HAVE A CLEAN BOAT THAT ACTUALLY RUNS FOR LESS THAN HALF OF WHAT A BASIC OLDER USED MODEL WILL BE AND THAT MAY STILL HAVE SOME ISSUES .THE BOAT IS NOT PERFECT , IT DOES NEED SOME WORK , THAT IS WHY IT IS PRICED THE WAY IT IS , PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US WITH ANY QUESTIONS , WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO ANSWER THEM , THE YARD DOES HAVE A TRAVEL LIFT AND CAN SET THE BOAT IN THE WATER IF NEEDED .IT IS BEING SOLD WITH A CLEAR MARYLAND TITLE AND THE STORAGE HAS BEEN PAID UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH .THE MARINA DOES HAVE A TRAVEL LIFT AND CAN LAUNCH THE BOAT IF REQUIRED , IT CAN STAY AT THE MARINA BUT A NEW STORAGE CONTRACT WILL NEED TO BE SET UP .WE MAY BE INTERESTED IN PARTIAL TRADES PLUS SOME CASH , PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO TRADE , OBVIOUSLY SELLING HER OUTRIGHT WOULD BE GREAT BUT FOR THE RIGHT DEAL I AM SURE WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT .PLEASE DONT BE OFFENDED IF I DONT WANT TO TRADE AS AN EXAMPLE YOUR 1984 CUTLASS CIERA MAY BE A $10,000 CLASSIC TO YOU BUT I VIEW IT AS RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION AND WOULD NOT BE INTERESTED .IF YOU MAKE AN OFFER PLEASE BE SERIOUS AND ACTUALLY WILLING TO GO THROUGH WITH THE PURCHASE , IF YOU NEED TO CONSULT WITH YOU WIFE , BOYFRIEND , SPIRITUAL ADVISOR OR WHOMEVER PLEASE DO SO BEFORE BIDDING , WE HAVE PRICED HER AGGRESSIVELY AS WE ACTUALLY WANT TO SELL AND GET PAID .PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL OR E-MAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS , IF I DON'T ANSWER I WILL CALL BACK .THANKS MATTphone
