Plan A sleeps 6 and includes an 11 foot starboard lounge, with removable pedestal seats and dining table (lounge also converts to 2-person berth).

Cockpit and Helm

The cockpit on the 4000 Express is designed for comfort and convenience. The helm is a “heads up” fiberglass tilt-away helm station with full flush mount electronics capability. The double wide helm seat, with standard power adjustment is comfortable and sits high, providing a clear scope of vision while idling or while throttling up and cruising. The forward-facing companion lounge, with tons of storage, sits right next to the helm seat and provides ample seating for four adults. There is chart storage, drink holders, and glove box adjacent to the helm, and the bronze acrylic sliding companion door with lock sits to the port side. The aft cockpit features forward and aft-facing seats and a great hydraulic hi/lo cockpit table, and can be used as cocktail tables, dining tables for 6-8 people or an enormous sunpad. A standard wet bar with sink and optional ice maker sits to starboard behind the helm seat. Dual molded-in transom steps with hinged gates make entering the cockpit easy, and standard cockpit lighting with remote feature ensures safe footing. There is a large transom storage trunk with approximately 105 cubic feet of storage space. A huge 48" swim platform with built-in folding ladder is typically opted for in place of the standard 30". The cockpit shower with hot and cold water is standard as is the cruising arch with handrails, bimini top, and side curtains.
