Power and Propulsion
The twin Mercruiser 8.1S Horizon 370hp engines are equipped with fresh water cooling—an enclosed cooling system that reduces corrosion and extends engine life compared to raw water-cooled alternatives. The V-drive inboard configuration means the engines are mounted longitudinally within the hull, with power transmitted through V-drives to the propellers. This setup offers several advantages: improved weight distribution, reduced vibration, better fuel efficiency, and protection of the propulsion system from impact or debris. Fresh water cooling is particularly valuable for boats operating in saltwater environments or those used frequently, as it minimizes mineral deposits and corrosion inside the cooling passages. The vessel's fuel capacity of 232 gallons supports extended cruising at moderate speeds, while the 25-knot cruising speed represents a practical balance between fuel consumption and range. At maximum hull speed of 30 knots, the boat can cover distance quickly when conditions and owner preference allow.
Helm and Electronics
The helm station integrates modern marine electronics centered on Raymarine systems, including a GPS plotter with integrated radar and a dedicated depth sounder. These Raymarine instruments provide navigation, fish finding, and collision avoidance capabilities essential for safe operation in variable water conditions. The Mercury Smartcraft Vessel View system displays real-time engine data, fuel consumption, and system diagnostics, allowing the operator to monitor performance and efficiency at a glance. Additional helm controls include an Icom VHF radio for communication, bow thruster control for precise maneuvering in tight spaces, windlass remote for anchor deployment and retrieval, and a remote compass for navigation reference. A spotlight control adds visibility for night operation or docking, while the engine compartment is protected by a fire suppression system—an important safety feature for enclosed engine spaces.
Cabin and Interior Accommodations
The 340 Express provides two cabins and one head, offering sleeping accommodations for small families or cruising couples with occasional guests. The forward cabin features a queen berth with air conditioning, reverse cycle heat, a flat-screen television with DVD player, two opening side portholes, and two ceiling-opening hatches with screens for natural ventilation.

This layout is practical for extended cruising or weekend trips where you want proper sleeping quarters and functional living space without the complexity of a larger vessel.
What are the advantages of the fresh water cooling system on these engines?
Fresh water cooling (also called closed-loop cooling) circulates coolant through the engines independently of lake or saltwater, which dramatically reduces corrosion, scale buildup, and maintenance compared to raw water cooling systems. This means longer engine life, fewer cooling system repairs, and less frequent winterization concerns. Fresh water cooled engines run cleaner internally and are particularly valuable if you're operating in freshwater environments like Lake Union, where you won't have the additional corrosion challenges of saltwater. The system requires periodic coolant checks and changes, but the overall maintenance burden and long-term reliability benefits make it a premium feature on express cruisers in this class.
What power generation and electrical capacity does the boat have for extended cruising?
The vessel is equipped with a Kohler 7.3 kilowatt generator that provides independent electrical power when you're away from the dock, allowing you to run air conditioning, appliances, and all systems without depleting house batteries. The electrical system includes four AGM house batteries rated at 400 amp-hours total, providing substantial reserve capacity for overnight anchoring or cloudy days. Additional start batteries (2 Group 31 for engines, 1 Group 31 for generator) ensure reliable engine starts, and a battery charger maintains all battery banks when connected to shore power. Shore power connections include two 30-amp inlets at 110 volts, which is standard for boats this size. This electrical architecture supports comfortable extended cruising with air conditioning, refrigeration, and hot water without the anxiety of running down batteries.
What anchoring and docking features make this boat easier to handle?
The boat is equipped with an electric windlass for raising and lowering the anchor from the helm, eliminating manual labor and making solo anchoring practical. A bow thruster provides lateral thrust for precise docking and maneuvering in tight spaces without relying solely on engine steering. The remote windlass control and bow thruster control at the helm station allow you to manage both systems while positioning the boat, which is particularly valuable when docking single-handed or in challenging conditions. These systems reflect the express cruiser's design philosophy of combining comfort with practical seamanship aids that reduce physical effort and increase safety.
What tender and dinghy options are available with this boat?
The vessel comes with a new inflatable RIB (rigid inflatable boat) powered by an 18-horsepower four-stroke engine, mounted on a custom davit system for easy launching and retrieval. This tender setup allows you to explore shallow areas, visit beaches, or access anchorages where the main boat cannot go, while the davit system means you don't have to wrestle with the dinghy—simply lower it into the water and retrieve it when done. The four-stroke engine is fuel-efficient and low-emission, and the rigid design provides better performance and durability than soft-sided inflatables. This is a significant advantage for cruising, as it expands your exploration range and provides a practical solution for getting ashore.
What weather protection and canvas features are included?
The boat features a full canvas enclosure that protects the cockpit and helm area from wind, rain, and sun, extending the usable boating season and making day trips more comfortable in variable weather. The canvas system works in conjunction with the hardtop or bimini structure typical of express cruisers, creating a protected helm station and social space. Combined with the air conditioning and reverse cycle heating inside the cabin, the full canvas enclosure means you can cruise and entertain in a wide range of weather conditions without exposure. This is particularly valuable in the Pacific Northwest climate around Seattle, where weather can change quickly.
What maintenance advantages does the SeaDek flooring and low-hour engine condition provide?
SeaDek is a closed-cell foam marine decking material that provides superior non-slip properties, comfort underfoot, and durability compared to traditional gelcoat or fiberglass surfaces. It resists UV damage, absorbs impact better, and is easier to clean and maintain. The listing notes low engine hours, which typically indicates the engines have not accumulated significant wear and should have substantial remaining service life before major overhauls become necessary. Low hours combined with fresh water cooling and proper maintenance (as evidenced by the broker's description of the boat's cleanliness and condition) suggest you're acquiring engines with predictable reliability and lower near-term maintenance costs. These details matter because engine hours directly correlate to resale value and ownership costs on express cruisers.
Is this boat suitable for year-round boating in the Pacific Northwest?
Yes, the 2007 Cruisers 340 Express is well-suited for year-round Pacific Northwest boating. The reverse cycle air conditioning and heating system maintains comfortable interior temperatures in cold winters and warm summers. The full canvas enclosure protects the helm and cockpit from rain and wind common to the region. The fresh water cooling system eliminates winterization complexity, and the 25-knot cruising speed allows you to cover distance efficiently even in choppy conditions. The modified Vee hull is designed to handle variable water conditions, and the two-cabin layout means you can take overnight trips without the expense or complexity of a larger cruising yacht. The boat's location on Lake Union in Seattle reflects its suitability for the local boating environment, and the owner's decision to upgrade rather than sell suggests satisfaction with the vessel for regional use.
