Sea Ray 440 Express Bridge

1993 Sea Ray 44’ Express Bridge “Lucky Shot” — Toms River, NJ

If you’ve been waiting for a properly cared-for Sea Ray Express Bridge—one that feels like it’s been loved, not just owned—Lucky Shot deserves to be at the top of your list. She’s a proven, classic 44’ platform with the kind of sensible upgrades and consistent maintenance history buyers search for (and rarely find) at this size and price point.

Why this Sea Ray stands out

Powered by twin Caterpillar 3208 diesels (375hp each), Lucky Shot offers the confident ride and durable performance these Sea Rays are known for. With documented hours and a long pattern of professional care, she’s the kind of boat that inspires trust the moment you step aboard.

One of the most compelling features is the custom hardtop on the bridge, delivering true protection underway and at anchor, and extending your season in the Northeast. She’s also equipped with an integrated crane, giving you the flexibility to carry and launch a tender or personal watercraft—capability you don’t always find on an Express Bridge in this class.

Below deck, Lucky Shot is designed for weekends that turn into long stays. She’s set up to comfortably accommodate up to six, and her interior upgrades make a real difference in day-to-day enjoyment. Recent improvements include a new Norcold full-size refrigerator, new freezer, new beverage cooler, and a new salon A/C, making her feel far more modern and functional for extended cruising.

Maintenance & upgrades that matter

Lucky Shot reflects the kind of ownership you want to see—routine service, proper winterization, and attention to the big-ticket items that keep a diesel express bridge running right. Highlights include:

Injection pumps and injectors replaced, and turbo rebuilt (2021)

Aftercoolers completed (2022)

Cooling system service performed for both main engines and generator

Engines serviced and winterized consistently, with ongoing fall maintenance

Machinery spaces addressed cosmetically with noted cleaning and paintwork

Updated helm electronics and onboard entertainment with Garmin chartplotter, Garmin VHF, and Fusion stereo system

The onboard experience

The Express Bridge layout is ideal for boaters who actually use their boats. The bridge becomes the social center—excellent visibility, plenty of seating, and protection from sun and weather. Below, the salon and galley feel practical and welcoming, with upgraded cold storage and reliable climate control that make it easy to stay aboard longer and travel farther.
