THIS IS A ORIGINALLY A ONE OWNER VESSEL
FROM A COUPLE FROM THE BOSTON MA AREA.
NOW TITLED WITH A CLEAN NC TITLE.IN 2009 THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED WITH A ENCLOSED COOLED MERCRUISER 496 MAG WITH A NEW VERSION BRAVO 3 OUTDRIVE. 23K INVESTED! THIS IS A VERY SWEET PACKAGE AS THE 496 MAG IS A VERY STRONG ENGINE, EXTREMELY RELIABLE AND VERY FUEL EFFICIENT! ALSO THE NEWER VERSION BRAVO 3 OUTDRIVE IS MUCH BETTER! THE OLDER LATE 90'S EARLY 2000 MODELS BRAVO 3'S HAD SOME CORROSION ISSUES. FOLKS I'VE BEEN IN THE BOAT BUSINESS A LONG TIME, THIS IS THE SWEETEST PACKAGE YOU CAN BUY WITH THE NEWER UPGRADED ENGINE AND OUTDRIVE. ESPECIALLY FOR THIS PRICE! YOU WILL BE VERY HARD PRESSED TO FIND A SWEETER SMOOTHER RIDING HIGH QUALITY BUILT SEA RAY OF THIS SIZE WITH THE 496 PACKAGE FOR UNDER 17K! I DON'T BELIEVE YOU WILL AT ALL! LOOK AROUND AND COMPARE APPLES TO APPLES. IT JUST WON'T HAPPEN. KEEP HER IS NICE SHAPE THAT IT CURRENTLY IS IN AND USE FOR A COUPLE YEARS FOR FREE! THIS MODEL IS BUILT LIKE A TANK! AND VERY EXPENSIVE WHEN NEW!
THE 280 BR WAS A MUCH HEAVIER BUILT MODEL THAN YOUR SMALLER SEA RAY MODELS TO PROVIDE A MUCH SMOOTHER QUALITY RIDE IN CHOPPY OR ROUGH WATER.LOOKING FOR A NICE BOWRIDER THAT DOESN'T BEAT YOU UP ON THE WATER ALL DAY THIS IS IT! THIS VESSEL HAS ALL YOU NEED! LARGE PORT POTTA POTTI UNDER CONSOLE WITH SINK, AND HOLDING TANK, FRESHWATER HOLDING, HYDRAULIC ENGINE HATCH, HYDRAULIC TRIM TABS, TONS OF DRY STORAGE WITH HANGER UNDER DRIVER CONSOLE, HUGE SKI LOCKER, NICE VERY LARGE LOUNGE SEATS AT BOW WITH LOTS OF DRY STORAGE, LOTS OF CUP HOLDERS, TWO TABLES FOR FRONT AND REAR, BRAND NEW BIMINI TOP, LARGE EXTRA CAPACITY BATTERIES WITH SELECT SWITCH, HALON FIRE SUPPESSION SYSTEM, TONS OF SEATING FOR A LARGE CROWD WITHOUT STEPPING ON EACH OTHER AND SO MUCH MORE!***CONDITION***THIS VESSEL TO BE A 1997 IS IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION!
OTHER THAN JUST SIMPLE COSMETIC DINGS AND FLINGS.
THE BIGGEST 3 THINGS TO LOOK FOR ON A STERN DRIVE BOAT THAT COST ALL A LOT FOR REPAIRS. (UPHOLSTERY, ENGINE AND OUTDRIVE WHICH ON THIS VESSEL ALL IS MINT!!! ALL MAJOR SYSTEMS ON THIS BOAT WORKS PERFECTLY. WITH ONLY 161 HOURS ON THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE AND OUTDRIVE SHE HAS A HOLE LIFE LEFT IN FRONT OF HER!THE PORT SIDE EXTERIOR HULL IS NEARLY PERFECT. THE STARBOARD SIDE IN WHICH THE BOAT WAS PARKED ON THAT SIDE HAS A FEW COSMETIC SCRATCHES, THE ONLY REAL NOTICEABLE PLACE IS WHERE THE BOAT BUMPER HAD COME OFF AND RUBBED ON THE DOCK. (LOOK AT PICTURE) WHICH IS ONLY ABOUT A $200 GELCOAT REPAIR.
ALL MAJOR SYSYEMS INCLUDING ALL GAUGES ETC ARE IN GREAT WORKING ORDER. ENGINE PURRS LIKE A KITTEN! VERY SMOOTH AND QUIET! ONLY NONE ETHANOL FUEL WAS USED. THE ENTIRE BOAT IS VERY SOLID WITH SIGNS OF ANY HARD IMPACTS AT ALL!  THE BLUE BOOK VALUE ON THE BOAT IS OVER 23K WITH THE ORGINAL 7.4 LITER ENGINE PACKAGE. MUCH MORE WITH THE CURRENT ENGINE AND OUTDRIVE UPGRADE! I WILL ALSO DELIVER THIS VESSEL FOR FREE AT THE LOW LOW BUY IT NOW PRICE UPTO 600 MILES ONE WAY!
