1997 Sea Ray Express AMBERJACK11m

The Sea Ray Amberjack treats boaters to a comfortable ride and convenient handling, thanks to the hull design and the helm's ergonomic layout.  With a pair of MerCruiser 7.4 L MPI Horizon engines you are able to comfortably push the 370 EC to a top end average of 30.5 mph even in rough waters. Her wide beam gives it a good solid ride with a soft reentry when taking on waves. The helm area is well laid out and is a comfortable spot for your eager sight-seers. The seat is front-to-back power adjustable, and the front edge flips up to a stand-up bolster conversion.

The bi-level cockpit and helm area can seat more than 10 people. Both the helm and port side forward facing seats, plus the port aft facing seats, hold two abreast. You can flip the standard bench seat away and in toward the transom to clear the area for fishing action. Features include a livewell and fishbox in the cockpit sole, plus a bait preparation station immediately aft of the helm seat. The fishbox is refrigerated and there was an icemaker located under the helm seat. There was also a storage compartment for four rods built into the saloon floor.

The swim platform with a hideaway ladder is massive and where you'll find the hot and cold transom shower and freshwater washdown and a raw-water cockpit washdown.. There is even a standard freshwater outlet in the anchor locker on the foredeck to keep your ground tackle clean.

There is both headroom and room to spread out throughout the cabin. A comfortable convertible dinette is to starboard. There is storage in the seats, cabinets and a curtained shelf above the cabinets. Opposite the dinette is a full galley that includes a large refrigerator with a separate freezer compartment, a two-burner stove, a microwave oven, a coffee maker and a deep-basin sink. Cabinet doors for the microwave and the TV/VCR combo retreat to the sides of the units instead of sticking out and getting in the way. When the doors are closed and a filler panel is placed in the sink, it creates a clean look in the cabin, with no exposed appliances. What's more, it provides a large area of usable counter space. The convertible dinette and the opposite-facing full galley set the stage for cozy entertaining or a quiet dinner.

To starboard is a large, almost walk-in, hanging locker with a small three-drawer cabinet to one side. Opposite it is another locker about half the height that can still be used for hanging clothes. Even when the components from the removable dinette in the main saloon are put in their stowage space under the berth, there's still room for more stuff. The steps to the berth lift to expose even more storage area

 The head is aft of the galley and features a VacuFlush toilet, a Corian vanity top and a fiberglass shower with a sliding, curved acrylic door. The boat's main electrical panel is located behind a cabin door to the upper left of the galley.

 The forward stateroom can be separated for privacy from the main saloon by a two-panel sliding door that moves along an arched track. The full-size berth offers a comfortable place to rest weary  bones! Lots of storage here, as well!

Access to the power-plants is simple. The entire helm-area floor can be raised via an electric lift to expose the engine compartment. There's also a small hatch between the seats for quick fluid checks. Because of the wide beam, boaters have ample room to work on either side of the engines, as well as front to back. The generator is located to port, but even here, there's no lack of room. In fact, there's even enough space along the center line for an adult to lie down between the stringers. It's an area that can be used for storage if needed.

Come have a look at Seasonal Disorders. Her full array of comforts make any type of outing on the water a pleasure. It does so with an elegance that has made Sea Ray one of the country's premier boat builders.
