Introduced in 1976, the Sea Ray 300 Sedan Bridge combined spacious accommodations and bold styling in an affordably priced cruiser notable for her versatility and . Built on a solid fiberglass hull, a wide 11-foot, 6-inch beam makes the Sedan Bridge a spacious boat below. The galley and dinette are down in this layout, and a lower helm was standard in the compact salon. There’s a good deal of inexpensive teak trim and carpeted wall coverings throughout the interior, all of which render the decor completely dated by modern standards. While the cockpit is large enough for some light-tackle fishing, this is definitely not a fishing boat. Notable features include a teak bow pulpit, swim platform, underwater exhausts, cushioned foredeck seating, and a large engine room. On the downside, the fuel capacity is only 130 gallons. Among several engine options, twin 330hp gas inboards cruise the Sedan Bridge at 18–19 knots and top out in the high 20s. Twin 250hp gas inboards cruise at 16–18 knots (around 25 knots top). Note that the Sea Ray 300 Express (1978–81) is essentially the same boat without the flybridge and salon bulkhead.
