Engine data for the Cruisers Yachts 477 Sport Sedan 2006 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Cruisers Yachts 477 Sport Sedan 2006 carries 526 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Cruisers Yachts 395 Motoryacht 2008.
