1991 Sea Ray 240 Bow Rider

This 240 Bow Rider has classic early-90s Sea Ray lines—high bow, generous freeboard, and that wide, social cockpit that feels more like a floating patio than a runabout. The interior needs some love, which is a plus if you enjoy customizing your layout, upholstery, and electronics instead of paying for someone else’s choices. The helm has plenty of flat real estate for modern gauges or a chartplotter upgrade, and the wide walkthrough to the bow makes it easy for kids and guests to move around underway. With its size and weight, it sits solidly at anchor, making it a comfortable platform for sandbar days and lazy raft-ups.

For local waters that mix calm days with occasional chop, the 240 Bow Rider’s size and hull shape strike a sweet balance between comfort and easy handling. It’s long enough to feel planted when afternoon winds pick up, yet still manageable for trailering to different ramps or storage yards. The open bow and generous cockpit suit everything from quick evening cruises to full-day outings with a crowd. Shallow-draft friendliness lets you nose into sandy coves, while the substantial swim platform makes it ideal for swimming, tow sports, and relaxed lounging close to shore.
