Current owner purchased this boat from me almost two years ago. It was repowered in February 2024, has very low hours and runs great. everything about this boat is in better than average condition and she will make a new owner extremely happy. 

Current owner loves the boat and takes great care of her, but she just does not seem to have the time to use it the way this boat is intended. Occasional short tips to Ski Alley and Boca Grande, but no overnighting and no extended trips to the Keys... this boat is made for occasional overnighting, longer weekend trips and that is just not currently in the sellers schedule... reluctantly she is selling. 

The boat is super clean inside and out which you should be able to see from the photos and videos. the boat is priced very fair compared to other comps on the market. If you would like a great boat at a great price, give us a call and get an offer in, she can be yours.

Third in a series of 280 Sundancer models, Sea Ray designers took midsize express-boat luxury to the next level with the 2010 introduction of this stylish family cruiser. With her luxury class amenities and single-engine economy, the 280 is yet another example of why Sea Ray so dominates the market for quality express cruisers.

 Built on a modified-V hull with moderate beam and relatively tall freeboard, the 280 Sundancer’s user-friendly cockpit features a curved portside L-shaped lounger with storage below, removable carry-on cooler, electrically actuated engine hatch, and a wet bar with sink, ice maker and Corian countertop. 

As with most express boats this size, a walk-through windshield provides easy access to the foredeck area. Note the dash flat for flush-mounting a video display. Below decks, the Sundancer’s well appointed interior includes a convertible dinette, midcabin berth, standup head, and full galley with sink, stove and refrigerator. Most have been sold with the optional sport arch. Fuel capacity might have been more generous. The 280 Sundancer will cruise at 25 knots (35 top) with a single 320hp MerCruiser I/O.
