Urteil
The 1989 Sea Ray 300 Weekender is a classic mid-size express cruiser with a practical deep-V hull, a usable 11-foot beam, and twin 260 hp engines that should deliver solid cruising performance. It offers fair weekend comfort for four, but age, layout limitations, and specification inconsistencies mean condition and mai
Vorteile

- +Twin 260 hp engines provide respectable cruising performance
- +Cabin includes a berth, head, galley, and basic weekend amenities
- +Wide beam helps create a more spacious interior than many 30-footers
Nachteile
- −Age-related upkeep is a major factor on a 1989 boat
- −Sleeping capacity is realistically for four, not eight
- −Cockpit/cabin space is useful but not especially large for extended cruising
- −Listing data shows inconsistencies in length, fuel capacity, and model naming
The 1989 Sea Ray 300 Weekender is a straightforward express cruiser built around a solid fiberglass deep-V hull and a wide beam. That combination gives it the classic Sea Ray formula: a capable offshore-leaning ride for its size, with a layout focused on family weekends rather than luxury cruising.[1][2][3]
On the water, the twin 260 hp MerCruiser setup is a known match for this model and is generally associated with comfortable mid-20-knot cruising and strong top-end performance for a 30-foot cruiser. The deep-V hull should help it feel composed in chop, but buyers should expect propulsion and handling quality to depend heavily on engine condition, drive setup, and maintenance records on a boat of this age.[1][2][3]
Comfort is adequate for short trips, with confirmed berths for four and one cabin, plus one head. That makes it suitable for a couple or small family, but the confirmed accommodation is below the higher guest count shown in one listing, so the boat should be viewed as a compact weekender rather than a true eight-person cruiser.[1][2][3]
Value is mixed: the model has a respected name and a practical layout, but its late-1980s vintage means survey results, mechanical upkeep, and cosmetic condition will drive the real price-to-value equation. The available listings also show inconsistencies in dimensions and fuel capacity, which reinforces the need to verify the specific boat in person before treating any spec sheet as final.[2][3][13]
