1989 Sea Ray 440 Aft Cabin

Great Classic Layout. Sea Rays are famous for soft spots on the top sides, I walked all over the top sides, even bounced in certain spots and the boat is impressively solid, so she has great bones.

The Engine room has its very own fresh water engine flush and can be started on the hard easily. I was with the seller over the last winter, months before I listed the boat, he fired the engines up for me from a cold start and on the hard and they ran wonderfully. The port engine is new completely rebuilt he is looking for the paperwork on that.

Everything works that you want to work on the boat. Breaker switches are all nicely labeled. Except one thing. The Generator, the generator does not start on the boat, never has. Personally, he was not concerned with it as they are seasonal boaters, and they stayed at marinas and never on the hook. Air Conditioning reportedly works perfect with shore power.

There is also a portable A/C unit he keeps for when the boat is on the hard. So if you do have any repairs or the boat is out of the water you can run the air-conditioning that way as well.

All in all this is a great practical boat, with good bones and good engines. Seller is older and reasonable, this boat makes for a great live aboard so serious inquiries call, lets put a deal together and get you out on the water.

More Full Specs will come in time.

This popular Motoryacht began life in 1986 as the 410 Aft Cabin. She became the 415 in 1988 when Sea Ray added a bow pulpit, and in 1989 the company’s marketing people took another look and settled on the 440 designation, which lasted for the duration. 

She’s constructed on a good-running modified-V hull with moderate beam and prop pockets—the same hull used in the company’s 440 Convertible. Her galley-down floorplan is arranged with an offset double berth in the forward stateroom (over/under bunks are found in the original 410 model), a walkaround queen bed aft, and a comfortable (and very spacious) salon with a built-in entertainment center. 

Because the salon is so large, the aft stateroom is compact. So too is the aft deck, where entertaining space is at a premium. A popular model, standard 330hp gas engines cruise the 440 Aft Cabin at a sedate 15–16 knots and top out in the low 20s. Optional 375hp Cats cruise at 20 knots and reach 24–25 knots wide open
