Power Boat Guide Write-Up
A huge sales success, those looking for a versatile pocket cruiser
will find much to like in the 280 Sundancer. Sea Ray hit all the
right buttons with the 280—terrific styling, top-shelf amenities,
and a well-appointed interior with comfortable accommodations
for six. Beginning with her spacious single-level cockpit with wet
bar, portside lounger, and transom door, the stern bench seat folds
out of the way when not needed and the rear-facing bench seat
converts to a sun lounge. A centerline companionway leads to
the 280’s cherry-trimmed interior with U-shaped dinette to port,
full-service galley opposite, convertible V-berth forward (with
removable table), and a compact head/shower to starboard. Privacy
curtains separate both sleeping areas from the salon. An extended
swim platform was standard and a convenient storage locker is
built into the transom. Molded steps in the sliding companionway
door provide quick bow access via the walk-thru windshield. On
the downside, the mid-cabin berth is a tight fit for adults and the
engine compartment hatch is heavy. Built on a solid fiberglass hull,
twin 220hp MerCruiser sterndrives, the 280 Sundancer will cruise
at 24–26 knots (about 40 knots top).  Note, this one has 260HP engines.
