We took many of the styling and design cues used on our biggest Signature cruisers abd fashioned them into a boat that many experts consider the ultimate cruiser under 30' on the water today. Seaworthy freeboard and a comfortable 10-foot beam means you can chart big water destinations without concern. The innovative cockpit layout includes a mini-gallery, expansive storage, contour wraparound seating and a beautiful at-a-glance control center. Aft, the hideaway rear cockpit bench folds up for fishing and diving. A transom storage trunk is ideal for water toys and bulky items. An extended activity platform is included as standard equipment. The 280's Camper Canvas with it's "Bubble Tent" design has curved stainless steel poles that mean added headroom in the aft section of the boat. Our dual-wide helm station has an enourmous area for optional Ray Marine electronics. Belowdecks, the 280 is equipped with our standard Overnight Package which includes shore power, 50ft cord, a microwave, a coffee maker, hot water heater, a porcelain head and a battery charger. Cedar lined closets keep clothes fresh, a suspended vinyl headline that doesn't retain odors and our premium JBL CD sound system with hideaway speakers creates the perfect ambiance. Options worth considering include air conditioning, windlass, a generator and single or twin power.
