3970-400-420 Express

The Cruisers 400 Express (introduced in 2003 as the 3970 Express and called the 420 Express in 2006–10) is a sleek and stylish express cruiser that combines a spacious cabin layout with a comfortable cockpit and excellent performance. A hardtop shades the entire helm deck, and an integrated swim platform, sunlounge/table, cockpit shower and refrigerator offer the open-air amenities expected in a quality family cruiser. Below deck, the natural cherry wood interior, premium furnishings, and lofty 6'5" headroom of the 400 Express create the perfect environment for entertaining. In the mid-cabin area aft of the salon, Cruisers offered two different layouts—the standard plan has an aft settee/lounge open to the salon, while the optional layout encloses this area behind a bulkhead and door. Both floorplans feature a private stateroom forward with island queen berth and two full heads with stall showers. Topside, a walk-thru windshield provides easy access to the foredeck sun pads and windlass. MerCruiser 420hp 8.1L V-drive gas engines cruise at 20 knots (high 20s top). Yanmar 370hp diesels cruise in the low 20s. Later models with Volvo 370hp IPS pod drives cruise at 24–25 knots.
