1997 Formula 280 Sun Sport

This 1997 Formula 280 Sun Sport is a 28-foot fiberglass sports cruiser powered by a single 310-hp Mercury gasoline engine. The boat reaches a maximum speed of 44 knots and cruises comfortably at 28 knots. It delivers the performance and open-water capability expected from the design while remaining accessible for day trips and longer outings.

The boat features a full canvas enclosure, new upholstery, and a new bimini top with poles. Interior accommodations support cruising, fishing, and casual use. The helm and cabin areas are well-appointed for comfortable time on the water.

Mechanical work completed recently includes a full lower unit overhaul performed 106 hours ago, which involved new bearings, bushings, and seals. Engine oil was serviced in 2026, and wearable components throughout the boat have been replaced. The boat carries three new batteries and a 2026 Minnkota Terrova GPS trolling motor with professional installation.

A 2022 Venture trailer is included with the boat. The trailer has been recently serviced with new tires, wheel bearings, brakes, springs, shackles, and bushings, making it fully ready for launching and transport.
