This 1990 Grady-White Marlin 280 is a 28-foot offshore sportfisher built on the proven design of the Marlin line. The boat has been repowered with twin Yamaha 250 HP outboards installed in 2023 with 13 hours of use, providing 500 total horsepower. The hull delivers a solid ride and handles offshore conditions well, with a cruising speed of 25 knots and a maximum speed of 40 knots.
The boat is purpose-built for fishing. The large cockpit includes a transom door, rocket launchers, outriggers, live well, dual fish boxes, integrated tackle storage, and a washdown system with rod storage. The helm is fully enclosed with a hardtop and isinglass windows for weather protection during extended runs.
Electronics include a Garmin suite with dual plotters, radar, CHIRP sonar, and GPS. Below deck, the cabin features a forward berth, galley, and enclosed head—useful for overnight trips or sheltering from rough weather. The walkaround design and protected helm layout are characteristic of the Marlin 280, making it practical for both fishing operations and coastal cruising.
