Performance

Powered by triple Mercury Verado 400 outboards, this Schaefer 400 Sport offers the kind of performance and handling expected from a modern 40’ express cruiser. The low engine hours , approximately 135 hours , make her especially attractive for buyers looking for a lightly used, well-equipped boat in this size range.

The hull carries a 17.4° deadrise, supporting a comfortable ride profile for coastal cruising and open-water use. Official performance references for the Schaefer 400 list a 25-knot cruise and approximately 33-knot max speed in certain configurations, though actual performance will vary depending on engines, load, fuel, sea state, bottom condition, and equipment.
