A roomy crossover express with 3'6" of draft and 14'0" to the arch, sold with gas or diesel. Confirm the engine package first, and plan fuel around a planing hull.

The Cruisers 405 Express Motor Yacht, sold as the 4050 in 2003 and renamed the 415 from 2006, is what Cruisers called a crossover: an express helm and cockpit over aft-cabin-style accommodations. HMY's guide gives 42'6" overall, a 13'8" beam, 3'6" of draft, 14'0" to the arch, about 31,000 pounds and 380 gallons of fuel, on a fully cored hull. Engines vary widely, from Yanmar, Volvo and Cat diesels to MerCruiser gas, so confirm this hull's package before anything else. HMY calls her profile top-heavy and her staterooms huge for the size.

How to read the tags on this page. CLAIMstated by one source, not yet confirmed Sources are linked where published.

Range and running

CLAIM
Yachting's 2007 test: 21½ knots at 40 gallons per hour Yachting tested a 4050 with twin 420hp MerCruiser gas engines: 21½ knots at 3,800 rpm, burning 40 gallons per hour for the pair. That's a planing gas number; diesel boats and Loop speeds will differ, so get this boat's own logs. src: Yachting magazine (2007)

Air draft

CLAIM
14'0" to the arch; hardtop boats stand taller HMY's guide and BoatTest give 14'0" to the arch. A 2007 415 listing gives 16', and the optional hardtop and electronics add height. Measure this boat with everything up. src: HMY powerboat guide; BoatTest; broker listing
Your move: Measure the actual air draft of this hull to the top of the arch and electronics, and identify what (arch, antennas, hardtop fittings) can be lowered or removed.

Reading the boat

CLAIM
Yachting's gripes: no walk-through to the bow, a noisy salon at high rpm Yachting's 2007 review found no walk-through to the bow, salon noise a bit high at higher rpm, and aft cleats that are a tripping hazard. Walk the deck route you'll use to handle lines. src: Yachting magazine (2007)
CLAIM
Fully cored hull: have the surveyor check it for moisture HMY's guide says the 405 is built on a fully cored hull. Core moisture is a survey item on any cored boat of this age. src: HMY powerboat guide
Your move: Have the surveyor moisture-meter the hull and ask about any core repairs.
