Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Cruisers Yachts 340 Express 2007 vs Cruisers Yachts 390 Sports Coupe 2008: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Cruisers Yachts 340 Express 2007 vs Cruisers Yachts 390 Sports Coupe 2008 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story: intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Cruisers Yachts 390 Sports Coupe 2008 measures 40,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 4,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Cruisers Yachts 340 Express 2007 at 36,0 feet (2007).

That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The Cruisers Yachts 390 Sports Coupe 2008 tops out at 420 hp. Engine specs for the Cruisers Yachts 340 Express 2007 aren't listed - confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Cruisers Yachts 390 Sports Coupe 2008 carries 300 gallons versus 232 gallons in the Cruisers Yachts 340 Express 2007. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Bottom line: The Cruisers Yachts 390 Sports Coupe 2008 at 40,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Cruisers Yachts 340 Express 2007 at 36,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking - a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
