Owner Experience Review
Owners describe the 390 Express CruiserfromSEA RAYas their "condo on the water," using it for family cruising and weekend overnights. The expansive cockpit seats about ten, is often enclosed for year‑round use, and serves as the heart of onboard entertaining. The large cockpit and swim platform also make the boat versatile for casual fishing and easy water access.
On the water, the deep‑V hull rides dry, feels solid, and tracks well, and several owners note it stays comfortable even when conditions get lively. Typical cruise is quoted around 13–14 knots, though many prefer to run 8–9 knots at roughly 1700–1800 rpm for economy. Close‑quarters handling can be less precise due to the pocketed prop arrangement, so patience and practice pay off in marinas.
Below, a two‑cabin plan (island forward berth plus mid‑cabin bunks) and a full galley make multi‑day trips realistic, with ample stowage including in‑sole lockers. Interior finish varies by year—from earlier laminate and "monkey fur" headliners to later teak or upgraded trim—so condition depends heavily on past care. Maintenance watch‑items include recurring windshield/seal leaks and survey‑flagged stringer or transom moisture/rot; engine access via a large in‑deck hatch is generally good, but inboard service costs still apply. Gas 340 MerCruisers are widely called fuel‑hungry, while the Caterpillar 3208 diesel option, paired with roughly 300 gal of fuel, is favored for its robustness and range.
Pros and Cons
- Deep‑V ride is dry, smooth, and tracks well, remaining comfortable when seas kick up.
- Expansive cockpit seating for about ten and common year‑round enclosures make it a social hub.
- Practical two‑cabin layout with full galley and ample stowage suits multi‑day family cruising.
- Known risk of hidden stringer or transom moisture/rot that can be costly to remediate.
- Recurring windshield/seal leaks can introduce water into the cabin if not addressed.
- Gas twin 340 MerCruisers are fuel‑hungry, while many owners favor the Caterpillar 3208 diesel option.
