Owner Experience Review
Owners of the 340 AmberjackbySEA RAYdescribe it as a mixed-use niche boat that splits the gap between family cruising and fishing. For day fishing, the in-deck livewell, fish box, and open cockpit earn praise; for weekend cruising it suits two adults best because the sleeping layout is a compromise with no mid-cabin and a tight dinette conversion. The 13'5" beam helps create a roomy salon with a full-size dinette, while cockpit choices favor fishing and can reduce lounging/storage for large parties, and some owners note swim-platform placement as part of the tradeoff.
On the water, multiple owners report a wet, washy ride in chop, but around the dock it 'handles like a Lexus.' Performance notes from brokers and owners suggest roughly a 20-knot cruise and about 30 knots on top, with owner examples like 24 knots at around 30 gph and roughly 0.7 mpg at cruise; as always, figures vary by boat and setup.
Maintenance feedback is candid: the Westerbeke generator is frequently cited as a headache, and routine attention to raw-water items and heat exchangers comes up often. On older boats, owners recommend moisture testing of stringers and the transom; the bridgedeck/engine deck lifts electrically for service access. Engine rebuild or repower costs in owner reports vary widely (roughly $10k–$50k depending on scope), and some owners have repowered with diesels.
Pros and Cons
- Purpose-built day-fishing setup with an in-deck livewell, fish box, and open cockpit.
- Excellent close-quarters handling; 'handles like a Lexus' around the dock.
- Roomy salon for the size thanks to the 13'5" beam and a full-size dinette.
- Wet, washy ride in chop reported by multiple owners.
- Sleeping is compromised for families, with no mid-cabin and a tight dinette conversion.
- Maintenance watch items include the Westerbeke generator, raw-water/heat-exchanger service, and moisture checks on older hulls.
